Kansas City Chiefs vs Carolina Panthers Prediction
Carolina comes into this matchup as a pretty big underdog, but they have some momentum and they will be at home for this game. The Panthers have won two games in a row and their defense has only allowed 17 and 22 points in those two games, which is a big improvement. Kansas City finally picked up their first loss of the season in their last game, but they have had plenty of close games this year. The Chiefs really haven’t been blowing teams out this season and they only have one win by more than 11 points this season. I don’t love the game at all, but I think I have to take the points with Bryce Young and the Panthers.
