Why Bet on Carolina Panthers

After winning their match against the Jets and outclassing the Saints, the Carolina Panthers arrive into this match looking pretty strong. It has helped them to arrive as the betting favorites.

Two weeks into the season, the Panthers are the NFL’s best scoring defense, as they’ve allowed a league-low 21 points.

Sure, maybe it wasn’t all that impressive when they held the New York Jets and rookie QB Zach Wilson on 14 points.

But shutting down a New Orleans Saints, a team that scored 38 last week on reigning NFC Central champions Green Bay, is an entirely different matter.

Why Bet on Houston Texans

The Houston Texans come from a victory against the Jaguars and a recent loss against the Browns. The Texans come in as the underdogs at their home field.

The big question mark here is whether or not the Texans will have starting QB Tyrod Taylor, who left Week 2 vs. the Cleveland Browns due to injury and was the possible reason behind their recent loss.

Final Betting Analysis: Panthers vs. Texans

Texans’ starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor left Sunday’s game against Cleveland with a hamstring injury and is expected to miss Thursday’s game, so Rookie Davis Mills is slated to get the start. 

The Panthers’ defense has been fierce through two games and has applied a ton of pressure on the quarterback.

They recorded six sacks and 10 QB hits on Zach Wilson and followed that up with four sacks and 11 QB hits on Jameis Winston.

Those stats make you feel for Mills considering this will be his first NFL start. 

According to our winner Pick, the Panthers are likely to move to 3-0 after Thursday night’s game against the Houston Texans.
