The last time these two teams played each other was Week 5 in 2021. That game resulted in a win for the Eagles with a final score of 21-18. The Panthers entered that game as a slight road favorite. They were favored by 2.5 points before covering the spread. The Game Total for that game was 46.0 and which the Under hit.

Carolina's biggest weakness has been their defense, ranking #32 in the league while allowing 424 yards per game. Much of their struggle has come in trying to shut down the run game, as they've allowed opposing ball-carriers to rush for the #2-most yards per carry: 5.43. That's not to give any unnecessary credit to their pass defense, though, which checks in at #4-worst in yards per target (8.32). The Panthers defensive ends have played a big part in their inability to stop the run, ranking #2-worst in the NFL by this measure. This represents a particular disadvantage for Carolina given that the Eagles have excelled in the run game this year, accumulating 5.46 yards per carry (#2-best in the league). In terms of their offense, the Panthers have ranked #27 in the league in total yards per game. They've passed for 204 yards per game (#28 in football). On the ground they've ranked #11 with 4.42 yards per carry.

Philadelphia's primary advantage has been their run offense, which ranks #2 in football at 5.46 yards per carry. Given their ground game success, this has opened up opportunities through the air too; Philadelphia's 7.77 yards per target puts them #8 in football. When it comes to their defense, the Eagles check in at #1 in football when it comes to total yards allowed per game. Opposing air attacks have notched 197 yards per game against Philadelphia this year (#31 in football). Opposing ball-carriers have ranked #23 against them with 4.4 yards per ground attempt. This Eagles defense hits their peak effectiveness when it comes to defending opposing wide receivers, keeping them in check at just 121 yards per game (#1-best in the league). A strong argument could be made that their worst position group is their safeties, who rank just #30 in the league when it comes to run-stopping.
