NFL Player Odds and Props
Carolina Panthers
Bryce Young Over 238.5 passing yards
Young has thrown for 1,268 yards and nine touchdowns through four games, averaging 317 yards per contest. He exceeded this number against Detroit and faces an Eagles defence struggling to contain opposing offences.
Tetairoa McMillan Over 66.5 receiving yards
McMillan caught 14 passes for 192 yards against Detroit, giving him 385 receiving yards through four games. He remains Young’s biggest downfield threat and should receive plenty of opportunities against Philadelphia.
Philadelphia Eagles
Jalen Hurts Over 214.5 passing yards
Jalen Hurts has thrown for 933 yards and eight touchdowns through five games. Philadelphia’s depleted backfield could force the Eagles to rely more heavily on their passing attack against Carolina.
Jalen Hurts Over 22.5 rushing yards
Hurts remains a threat with his legs, particularly near the goal line. With Philadelphia missing several running backs, designed quarterback runs and scrambles could become a bigger part of the offence.
Carolina Panthers
Carolina enters Sunday rested and leading the NFC South.
Young has been one of the NFL’s most productive quarterbacks, while McMillan has emerged as his favourite target.
Chuba Hubbard rushed for 122 yards and two touchdowns against Detroit, providing balance to an offence averaging more than 30 points.
However, the Panthers have allowed 27.3 points per game, leaving their defence vulnerable against Philadelphia’s talented offensive players.
Carolina will need another strong performance from Young to exploit an Eagles team struggling with injuries.
Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia’s three-game losing streak has increased pressure on coach Nick Sirianni.
The Eagles managed just 22 rushing yards on 18 attempts against Jacksonville, exposing their problems in the backfield.
Saquon Barkley missed the game with a hamstring injury, while Will Shipley suffered a partial tear of his plantar fascia.
Tank Bigsby is also on injured reserve, potentially leaving Dameon Pierce with an increased workload.
Philadelphia has also dealt with injuries to receivers DeVonta Smith and Marquise Brown.
Hurts will need to carry more of the offensive responsibility if those players remain unavailable.
The Eagles have home-field advantage, but Carolina’s offensive production makes the Panthers a dangerous opponent.
