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

Chuba Hubbard has totaled a measly -6.0 air yards per game this year: just 11th percentile among running backs.
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.
Chuba Hubbard's pass-catching efficiency has diminished this season, totaling a mere 4.86 adjusted yards-per-target vs a 9.28 rate last season.
This year, the fierce Detroit Lions defense has allowed a mere 24.0 adjusted receiving yards per game versus opposing running backs: the 8th-fewest in the NFL.
Since the start of last season, the formidable Lions defense has given up a puny 78.1% Adjusted Completion Rate vs. opposing running backs: the 8th-lowest rate in the NFL.
