Panthers Go to Philly After Overtime Thriller
In Week 13, the Carolina Panthers lost a highly entertaining overtime game to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Carolina took the lead by a field goal with under a minute left in regulation, but gave up a game-tying field goal to send the game to overtime. In overtime, they forced a missed field goal in Tampaâs first possession, but fumbled the ball on the ensuing possession before Tampa kicked a game-winner.
This week, the Panthers are huge underdogs against Philadelphia. But the Panthers will look to prove that they are up to the challenge, as they are steadily playing better football as time has gone on this season. That might not be enough for them to win this game outright as an underdog, but it should give them some confidence in their ability to compete with one of the best teams in the NFC.
Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has not thrown an interception in three straight games for Carolina. After being benched earlier in the season, Young is doing a better job of taking care of the football. While that hasnât been enough to win games on a consistent basis, itâs progress, which is all the Panthers can ask for at this point in time.
Eagles Look to Stay Hot After Beating Baltimore
The Philadelphia Eagles got one of the wins of the weekend in the NFL in Week 13, beating the Baltimore Ravens on the road. That win moved the Eagles to 10-2 on the season and extended the Eaglesâ winning streak to eight in a row. This week, the Eagles are expected to win again, as they face a Panthers team that has struggled for most of the 2024 season.
Philadelphiaâs defense has been playing at a very high level of late, as evidenced by their performance against the Ravens. They held the Ravens under 20 points in Week 13, preventing Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, and the rest of the Ravens offense from firing on all cylinders. But the Eagles canât rest on their laurels against the Panthers in this game, as they have to stay sharp to avoid an upset bid from the Panthers.
Philly enters this week just one game behind the Detroit Lions for the top-seed in the NFC. While it is hard to see the Lions losing right now, given how well they are playing, the Eagles can continue to pressure on them by keeping. If the Lions manage to lose to the Packers on Thursday Night Football, the Eagles could draw even with Detroit by the time Week 14 is done.
Panthers vs Eagles Betting Prediction
We will take the over in Sundayâs Panthers vs Eagles matchup from Philly. The Panthers have looked competent on offense over the last few weeks. That, combined with how well the Eagles are playing, should mean some decent numbers on the scoreboard on each side in a game that could reach the high-40s on the scoreboard.
