4* Free Week 16 NFL Betting Prediction: Lions ATS
The Carolina Panthers up and down season continued in week 15 as they failed to follow up with an impressive performance vs Seattle with a win. Coming off a loss to the Steelers, I expect the Panthers to once again lose, as Detroit is one of the hottest teams in the league. I expect the Lions’ offense to continue their strong play against a Panthers defensive unit ranked 17th in yards allowed per game.
