Young Leading Panthers Charge

Bryce Young had to sit out Week 3, but he’s been in the starting lineup for the other three games this season. Unfortunately, the Carolina Panthers have been struggling offensively, ranking among the lowest-scoring teams in the league with fewer than 17 points per game.

Young, the rookie quarterback who honed his skills in college football at Alabama, has only managed to throw two touchdown passes while also being intercepted twice. In the game Young missed during Week 3, backup Andy Dalton stepped in and threw two touchdown passes.

The Panthers’ primary receiving threat has been the experienced Adam Thielen, formerly with the Vikings. He has accumulated just under 300 receiving yards and has scored two touchdowns this season. Following Thielen is D.J. Chark, who has notched 129 yards and a touchdown.

Unfortunately, Carolina’s running game has been lackluster despite the addition of Miles Sanders to the roster.

Sanders has struggled, with just 158 yards and one touchdown on 54 carries. Additionally, the Panthers’ defense finds itself ranking in the lower half of the league in nearly every statistical category, which could pose a challenge when facing a potent Detroit offense on the road.

Montgomery Enjoying New Scenery

David Montgomery, after coming over from the Chicago Bears has been sensational so far. He has taken over the running back role, one in which Jahmyr Gibbs was going to be competing for as well. Montgomery rushed for three touchdowns in the win over the Packers, and now has five on the season, despite missing a game.

The Lions are one of the top offensive teams in the National Football League. Detroit is scoring 26.5 points per game. Both the passing and rushing attack ranks inside the Top 10, with a total of nearly 400 yards per game. Amon-Ra St. Brown is the top target in the passing game, with 331 yards and two touchdowns.

The Lions have this game, and then will go on the road for back to back games. The Lions are at Tampa in Week 6, and at Baltimore in Week 7.

Panthers vs Lions Betting Prediction | Lions Continue to Roar

There are the Lions to roar and the Panthers to roar. The Lions have been roaring several times this season.

The Panthers have not done so yet. Look for that to continue in this game. The Lions have a good quarterback to distribute the football to several guys, and they also can run the football.

The Lions’ defense continues to get better with each game. When going to make this bet, take the Detroit Lions.

Do not let the nine points scare you. Bet on the Lions to win by double figures!
