Chiefs Look to Respond to First Loss
In Week 11, the Kansas City Chiefs suffered their first loss of the 2024 NFL season, snapping a nine-game winning streak. They were defeated on the road by the Buffalo Bills, giving up 30 points to Josh Allen and company. This week, the Chiefs defense will be expected to play much better football, but the question will be whether their offense can do enough to win with the kind of margin required to cover the spread here.
Panthers Looking For Third Straight Victory
The Carolina Panthers have had a rough start to their season, going just 3-7 before their bye week. But they did win two games in a row before their bye, beating the New Orleans Saints at home before beating the New York Giants in Germany. Now, with a rest advantage and the Chiefs coming off of a huge game against the Buffalo Bills, it will be interesting to see how the Panthers perform at home with some of those qualitative factors working in their favor.
Chiefs vs Panthers Prediction
We are going to take the points with the Carolina Panthers in this Chiefs vs Panthers matchup in Week 12. Kansas City is still one of the best teams in football, even if they are no longer undefeated. But they have not been winning games by margins like this all year. We expect the Panthers to hang around in this game, even if the Chiefs should get back into the win column in this inter-conference clash.
