Both Chicago and Carolina were surprise playoff teams last season and will be singularly focused on getting this campaign off on the right foot to capitalise on last season.
Best Bet
Expect both the Bears and the Panthers to tread carefully in their season opener after both teams come off playoff performances so expecting some conservative playcalling, making the under a bet.
The under hits at 69.1% in Weeks 1-3 when a home underdog is in play since 2021.
The under is 4-1 in Chicago’s last five games when they are favoured. The under has also his in nine of 12 Bears games against NFC opposition.
Ben Johnson has certainly made the Chicago offense more dynamic but Carolina’s offense remains low-scoring, ranking 27th last season scoring 19.0 points per game.
Bryce Young has been a slow starter too, scoring 10 points in each of his three season openers.
This total is way too high.
Same Game Multi
Bryce Young has developed into an effective scrambler, running for 20-plus yards in five of his last six.
Caleb Williams rushed for at least 20 yards eight times since Week 8 last year.
Colton Loveland really broke out over the backend of last season with four straight games of 56-plus yards including three over 90.
Value Bet
Bryce Young developed a real combination with Jalen Coker in the second half of last season. It resulted in Coker scoring three touchdowns in his last six games including a nine-catch, 134-yard, one touchdown game in the close playoff loss to the Rams. He is outstanding value to score.
