Matchup Analysis
Bye-week reinforcements could matter
Jalen Coker, Jaelan Phillips and Monroe Freeling are questionable for Week 6 after Carolina's bye, so the Panthers' depth remains a watch point.
SourceYoung and McMillan bring a dangerous passing connection
Bryce Young's 329-yard, two-touchdown outing against Detroit included Tetairoa McMillan's career-best 192 receiving yards and two scores.
SourcePhiladelphia needs more from its ground game
Philadelphia managed just 22 rushing yards on 18 attempts against Jacksonville and was down to two running backs who started the week on the practice squad, giving Carolina reason to make the Eagles prove they can run before committing extra help to the pass.
SourcePick Ideas
Panthers +2.5
If +2.5 is available, consider Carolina with the points: the Panthers are coming off a bye, while Philadelphia is returning from its London game and said different pieces in different spots can affect communication and continuity.
Chuba Hubbard rushing yards over at a modest number
Consider Hubbard over if the line is 65.5 or lower; he logged 122 rushing yards on 20 carries in Carolina's most recent game.
