Don’t look now, but the Carolina Panthers have won three of their last four games and now sit at 3-3 on the season, one win away from sporting a winning record. They can get to that mark with a victory against the 0-6 New York Jets, who continue to fall short on a weekly basis.
Unless your a fan of either team, this game isn’t exactly an exciting matchup, but that’s what sports betting is for. Let’s take a look at everything you need to do to bet this interconference showdown.

Bryce Young has become Schrödinger’s Panther. He exists as both a good and a bad quarterback in between games and it isn’t revealed which he truly is until any one game begins. After a strong performance against the Cowboys in Week 6, he’s back in his box awaiting this weekend’s game against the Jets. Is he good? Is he bad? The answer is yes.
In this week’s edition of the Road to 272 Bets, I broke down why I’m backing the Panthers to hand the Jets a seventh loss this season:
The Carolina Panthers are far from a good team, but they’re at least no longer a horrible team, which is something the Jets certainly are. The Panthers outrank them in virtually every metric, including DVOA (23rd vs. 27th), Net Yards per Play (22nd vs. 28th), EPA per play (13th vs. 28th), and opponent EPA per play (12th vs. 19th).
On top of the measurable factors and analytics, the Jets’ vibes and chemistry seem to be at an all-time low. Justin Fields continues to prove he’s not an NFL quarterback, and the Aaron Glenn experiment seems to be over before it even starts.
I’m not going to overthink this one, I’ll take the better team in a pick’em spot.
