Panthers vs. Lions Spread Pick
It’s the second straight week the Panthers are featured in this particular, intricate model.
Last week, it correctly predicted a Vikings cover against this same Panthers team, which enters Week 6 at Detroit still in search of their first win.
Due to their record, the Panthers are a match for our Early Season Winless Teams PRO model.
Here, we bet:
- Winless teams
- On the road
- In Weeks 3-6
- Against the spread
