4* Free Week 5 NFL Betting Prediction: Carolina +9
As road underdogs, I’m liking the value of taking the Panthers. They looked good in their last road game up in Seattle on a short week.
As a seasoned NFL bettor, I’m not entirely convinced the Panthers will pull off a win here, but I do expect them to keep this contest tight.
The Lions have found their homefield advantage, and the atmosphere at Ford Field will be electric on Sunday. Bryce Young needs to step up, but I see potential for a cover.
Right now, they are at +9, and I’ll be locking them in at this number while I can. Carolina are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against Detroit.
For this matchup, I’m going to be hammering the under, as our model has the Panthers and Lions combining for 40 points. Right now the over/under line is sitting at 45, so I’d recommend getting some action on the under.
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Detroit’s last 6 games, and for Carolina the total has gone UNDER in 4 of their last 5.
