Carolina Panthers vs Detroit Lions Prediction: Both sides look forward to get convincing win

Bank of America Stadium will play host to an NFL preseason game for Week 3 on Saturday, featuring a matchup between the Detroit Lions and the Carolina Panthers. The Carolina Panthers will come into this game having suffered another loss in the preseason, this time to the New York Giants. Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions head into this game having failed to keep their win streak running against the Jacksonville Jaguars after a solid showing in their first preseason game.

The Carolina Panthers are now winless in both of their preseason games after suffering a defeat at the hands of the New York Giants. Only 19 points have been scored by the Carolina Panthers in their last two games, and the team as a whole has lost five of their last eight preseason games. Matt Corral threw for 71 yards on 13 attempts in the most recent games played by the Carolina Panthers, while Jake Luton tossed for 41 yards and scored one touchdown through the air. The Panthers were led in rushing by Raheem Blackshear, who finished with 31 yards and one touchdown on the ground. Shi Smith and Josh Vann combined for 80 receiving yards on five receptions. On defense, CJ Henderson led the Panthers with four tackles, while Raequan Williams and LaBryan Ray each had one sack. CJ Henderson led the Panthers in tackles. In the first two preseason games, the Panthers have been unable to finish drives and have been successful on only eight of twenty-three third downs. The offensive line of rookie quarterback Bryce Young needs to step up and aid him because he's taken a lot of hits through the first two games. In the meantime, the Carolina Panthers have a record of 6-2 against the spread in their last 8 games overall and a record of 4-1 against the spread in their last 5 games played at home.

The Detroit Lions have a preseason record of 1-1 after their most recent game, which was a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars by a significant margin, with the match ending with scores of 17-22. However, heading into this match, the Detroit Lions have now won six straight and eight of their most recent preseason games. Nate Sudfeld threw for 80 yards and one score for the Detroit Lions in their most recent game, whereas Teddy Bridgewater threw for 34 yards on 11 tries. Bridgewater's total passing yardage was lower. The Lions were led in rushing by Jermar Jefferson, who finished with 16 yards on six carries, while Dylan Drummond and Craig Reynolds combined for 58 receiving yards on six receptions. On defense, the Lions were led by Jack Campbell, who had 7 tackles, followed by James Houston, who had 1 sack, and Steven Gilmore, who had 1 interception. The Detroit Lions were unsuccessful in their game, accumulating only nine first downs and going a combined 0 for 12 on third downs. Before the Detroit Lions can feel confident about their next game in Kansas City, which is the first game of the regular season, they undoubtedly need to improve their overall effort. The Detroit Lions now enter this game with a record of 19-7 against the spread in their previous 26 games overall and a record of 4-1 against the spread in their last 5 games played away from Ford Field.

The final week of the preseason can be challenging due to the fact that starters are typically benched across the board. When you consider both of these factors, along with the fact that the Carolina Panthers have performed poorly, if at all, during the first two games of the preseason, you have to wonder why they are laying so many points. When you take into account the fact that a lot of these stadiums aren't filling up because the games are essentially glorified practices, home field isn't much of a factor. The Carolina Panthers have performed horribly through their first two games, and there are significant problems with the offensive line. The Detroit Lions have not had much success in the preseason over the years, but the fact that they have demonstrated that they want to get something out of this preseason ought to help them at least cover the spread.
