Carolina was smacked by Pittsburgh last Thursday, but the Panthers get three extra days to prepare and to bounce back against Detroit, which has lost three straight and has packed it in for the season even earlier than usual. The Lions have averaged only 15 points its last three games and didn't cover in any of them. Matt Stafford had another ordinary performance against the Bears completing 25-of-42 for 274 yards with two interceptions. What's more ominous for Detroit is the running game has reverted to being a non-factor as the Lions gained only 76 yards on the ground on 3.2 yards per carry. The Panthers had won their previous three games before losing at Pittsburgh and they are 10-1 ATS their last 11 games following a loss. Also, the Panthers have covered six of their last seven after allowing at least 30 points their previous game and the Lions are 3-10 ATS their last 13 games against teams with winning records. This is a relatively high posted total due to Carolina's defensive performance versus the Steelers, but Detroit's offense is a different story and the Panthers are still a respectable #15 in the NFL in yards allowed and the Lions are #23 in yards gained. Play the Panthers and the UNDER.
