Key Factors

Favors Over

The Panthers will have a new play-caller this season in offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, and the predictive model expects their pass/run mix to skew 4.9% more towards passing than it did last season (in a neutral context).
The Panthers are a massive 9.5-point underdog in this week's contest, indicating an extreme passing game script.
Accounting for their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics, the projections expect the Panthers to pass on 59.9% of their chances: the 8th-greatest frequency among all teams this week.
The leading projections forecast the Panthers to be the 5th-quickest paced defense in football (adjusted for context) at the present time, with opposing offenses averaging 27.46 seconds per play.
This game will be played in a dome—which means no wind, increased pass volume, increased TD potential, and better passing effectiveness.

Favors Under

The Panthers offensive line profiles as the worst in football this year in protecting the passer, which has a negative effect on all pass attack metrics across the board.
Bryce Young has been among the least efficient quarterbacks in the NFL this year, averaging a lowly 4.95 adjusted yards-per-target while grading out in the lowly 3rd percentile.
Opposing offenses have completed passes at the 9th-lowest rate in the league against the Detroit Lions defense this year (67.8% Adjusted Completion%).
This year, the strong Lions defense has yielded the 2nd-least yards-after-the-catch in the NFL to opposing squads: a puny 4.3 YAC.
As it relates to safeties in defending receivers, Detroit's unit has been outstanding this year, profiling as the 4th-best in the NFL.
