Lions panthers line The Lions are massive favorites against a Carolina team that has no juice offensively, and the gamescript should work against Jared Goff having a big passing day. Carolina's defense has seen the third fewest pass attempts in the NFL, and the Lions have run the ball more than they've thrown it.
Goff's final numbers here should be similar to the Packers game where he had yards on just 28 attempts. The three games Bryce Young has started for Carolina have followed the same pattern, with the Panthers unable to score but the defense keeping them in each game. Carolina has just five offensive TDs in four games, but only two in Young's three starts. This is a pure mismatch: the Lions built this team in the trenches.
Their stout offensive line will nullify the Panthers best defensive strength the line. And the Lions defensive line will be a big-time problem for the Panthers offensive line. Homefield advantage isn't necessarily "a thing" the way it was in years past but Ford Field will be rocking with a bunch of Lions fans smelling blood in the water at and wanting to see their team dominate at home fresh off a mini-bye and a butt-kicking of the Packers.
Jared Goff is going to get Jameson Williams back earlier than expected, giving Detroit a vertical threat to go with the tough underneath weapons. The Lions allow 3. They smothered a limited Packers' offense last Thursday, and now they've got extra rest to prepare for Carolina rookie Bryce Young, who ranks 30th with a This will be Young's second road start.
In his first road start, at Atlanta, he needed 38 attempts to produce passing yards. He was intercepted twice in the loss. Detroit's balanced offense is clicking and might get a few snaps from newly-reinstated wideout Jameson Williams. Look for Detroit to register its third straight dominant win. The Panthers defense is coming off a solid game despite their injuries with just 14 points allowed, but the offense did nothing against a suspect Minnesota defense.
Detroit's defense is much better, ranking fourth in yards per play, and they dominated two less questionable offenses the last two weeks. The Panthers defense is 29th in yards per rush, so this feels like a game Detroit can dictate with the run and keep the backdoor closed against a struggling Bryce Young.
I have this line projected at Detroit and love the value laying single digits. Join Now. Understanding Public and Money Read More.
