It’s difficult to see the Panthers having a worse season than last year. With new head coach Dave Canales and a more seasoned Bryce Young, Carolina is becoming one of the most compelling teams to watch in the league.
On the other hand, the Patriots plan to play their star players this Thursday, unlike the Panthers, who are taking a more cautious approach, particularly with their quarterback.
Our pick vs. the spread for this week one pre-season matchup between the Panthers and Patriots is to take the Panthers to cover as road underdogs. Despite the Patriots being 6.5-point favorites, we have the Panthers pulling off the upset by a score of 21-17.
As for an over/under pick, with the line sitting at 33.5 points, we like the over, with our projections pointing to a combined score of 38 points.
