Bookies.com: Bet the Panthers with the points vs Lions
Bill Speros writes: "The injury-riddled Lions defense ranks last in the NFL – giving up 416.7 yards and 31.7 points per game. Bryce Young (46/73, 648 yards, 6 TD, 1 INT) and the Panthers get the national spotlight at home in prime time. The Lions provide the perfect opportunity for the Panthers to remind everyone that they won the NFC South (by default) last season. The Panthers are moving in the right direction – despite the 1-2 record. Take this one to the bank."
