The Bears rank 19th in pass rush win rate and last in sacks. Moody: It's important to think about the opponent. Bryce Young has been sacked 26 times in his seven starts as a rookie (fourth most in the NFL). I do think Bryce Young has a decent opportunity to bounce back against a pass defense ranked 28th in the league in yards per game allowed.

I have no strong lean on the side, but in a game we do expect to be low-scoring, having Panthers +3.5 in your pocket is also nice. It's very easy to see this game being won with just 17-20 points on the scoreboard. They're hitting at a 61% clip over the past five seasons (including 10-1 on Monday night this season). Add in the Thursday aspect, and I think this one will be low scoring.įulghum: I agree with Schatz and Moody that it's a pretty comfortable bet to take the UNDER 38.5. I don't believe Tyson Bagent is able to keep up his QBR over 50, and Young has a QBR under 30.

Schatz: I end up with projected lines about even with the actual lines for this game, but if I had to bet something, I would go with UNDER 38.5. On Thursday night, I don't expect that trend to change. Also, the under has gone 22-7 this season in prime-time games. So far this season, only three Panthers games have gone over the total, as rookie Bryce Young is still getting acclimated to the NFL game. Moody: Since the Panthers and Bears rank in the bottom half of the league in total yards per game and points scored per game, and since this game is on Thursday, I'm gravitating toward the UNDER. These teams are a combined 3-14 on the season but that doesn't make this a bad game to bet. So what can we expect from a betting standpoint on Thursday?īetting analysts Tyler Fulghum, Eric Moody, Seth Walder, Anita Marks and Aaron Schatz are here to provide their thoughts.
