Does Carolina Have What it Takes on the Road?

The Panthers currently hold the 4th spot in the NFC-South this season, with an overall record of 1-7. In games outside their conference, they have a 1-2 record, and in NFC games, they have a NFC record. As we approach this week’s game, it’s worth noting that the Panthers have been the underdog in all of their previous games. Their current ATS record stands at 1-6-1 with a scoring margin of -10.8.

The Panthers are coming off a game where they were defeated by the Colts with a final score of 27-13. Alongside their 14-point loss, the Panthers also suffered an ATS defeat. They were 1.5-point underdogs before the game. In their most recent game, the over/under line was 44.5 points. By combining for 40 points, the under hit.

Facing the Colts’ defense, Carolina’s offense amassed 275 yards in total. On third downs, the Panthers converted at a rate of 43.8%. Chuba Hubbard led the rushing game with 58 yards, while Bryce Young threw for 173 yards.

The Panthers’ defense takes on the Bears, having given up an average of 28.2 points per game. So far, they are 20th in quarterback hits and are giving up 310.0 yards per contest.

Taking a Look at the Bears Chances at Home

In the NFC-North standings, the Bears find themselves in 4th place with a record of 2-7. In the NFC, Chicago is in 14th place as week 10 approaches. So far this season, the Bears are above .500 vs. the spread at 3-5-1. Their average scoring margin this season is -6.

This week, the Bears will look to bounce back from a 24-17 loss to the Saints. Despite the loss to New Orleans, the Bears did cover the spread. They were 8.5-point underdogs before the game. In the Bears’ latest game, the under bettors were correct as the teams totaled 41 points, below the line of 41.5 points.

On offense, the Saints finished with 32 rushing attempts, and D’Onta Foreman was the leading rusher with 83 yards. In the passing game, Tyson Bagent threw the ball 30 times, accumulating 220 yards and a passer rating of 65.

In terms of yards allowed, the Bears are 19th in the league while giving up 336.6 yards per contest. Chicago’s defense has allowed 26.9 points per game, placing them 26th in the NFL.

Bears vs. Panthers Player Prop

Since the Week 7 bye, Chuba Hubbard has been the starting running back for two games, but his performance has been less than impressive. With an average of only 2.8 yards over 31 carries, Hubbard’s opportunities to shine have not been capitalized upon. In contrast, Miles Sanders has excelled in his limited eight attempts, averaging an impressive 4.9 yards per carry. Raheem Blackshear, with his four rushes, has also contributed to the committee.

Despite Hubbard leading the backfield committee, his position seems precarious. If the team opts for an even rotation, it would significantly diminish Hubbard’s chances to make an impact as a rusher. Adding to his challenges is the upcoming matchup, which is notably difficult for running backs. Statistics from The 33rd Team show that since Week 5, running backs have struggled against the Bears, managing a mere 43.5 yards per game and 2.5 yards per attempt.

Given these factors, betting the under on Hubbard’s rushing yards seems wise, especially with BetMGM’s line offering value compared to the tighter lines of -130 found elsewhere.
