Expectations for both the Panthers and Jaguars are not super high this year but both teams look to have some improvement in them.

There were some green shoots coming out of Carolina over the backend of last season as it all started to finally click with the Panthers. They have invested in their defence and had an injury-ravaged season with their defence last year so we should see a fair leap o. that side of the ball in 2025.

The upside with the Jags is perhaps a little more obvious. New coach Liam Coen is likely to jive more with Trevor Lawrence while they went 3-10 in close games last year. Their turnover differential was -15.

There are some strong angles though that make the Panthers a quality bet.

Underdogs of less than 6.5 points cover at 60% in Week 1 while underdog on the road in Weeks 1-4 who missed the playoffs the prior season cover at 59%.

This is a tough spot for the Jags too with favourites in Week 1 off four or fewer wins are 8-13 against the spread.

Very keen on the Panthers getting the points.

Trevor Lawrence topped 13.5 in just two of 10 games but is a quality scrambler.

Chuba Hubbard had double digit receiving yards in nine of 15 last year.

Dyami Brown had 18 targets in the playoffs last year and projects as the top possession receiver at the Jags this year.

David Moore will play predominantly in the slot and that should see him get plenty of it. He dragged in 32 catches on 57 targets last year for three touchdowns. All his touchdowns came in the final seven weeks when the Panthers improved while three of his four five-plus target games came in that period.
