Houston at Carolina 1:00 ET
Panthers (+) over Texans- It took the last pick in the draft 12 games as a starter in the NFL before Brock Purdy felt defeat while the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 draft Bryce Young has yet to post a victory or a ‘cover’ in six starts. Now, that is not all fair as the 49ers are in a different class than Carolina but something has got to give and it happens here. Houston’s improvement has been impressive but for the most part there has been a knee jerk rover-reaction to their development. The Panthers also be facing a rookie quarterback in C.J. Stroud who has three wins with nine TD passes and only one interception. Trouble for the Texas is that they are 25th in rushing and this is their first time playing as a road favorite. The Panthers off a bye after two terrible road losses have won 3-of-4 meetings against Houston including the last two in Charlotte. Take CAROLINA!
