Lions vs Panthers -4.5 O/U 37
This should be a simple game to handicap. The Panthers have looked like garbage thus far and they are 0-2 in the preseason. Not a good way to start if you ask me. On the other hand, the Lions have done what they needed to do by staying heathy. If you know Dan Campbell, he likes to get out of the preseason unscathed and he said that this game will look like the other two. Coach Campbell is 2-6 in preseason football and 0-2 in the final week. Another big issue for the Lions is that they play the Panthers in week 5. This might factor into the playbook for both teams trying not to show their hand, but this also makes me lean towards the home team and the under even that much more. Coach Frank Reich of the Panthers already announced that Bryce Young will be starting this game. He needs a good showing this week after an ugly 0-2 start to preseason football. Reich has a preseason record of 8-8, yet he is 4-0 in the final week of preseason. He likes to go into the season on a winning note. Take the Panthers money line here. I think they walk away from this one with a W.
Panthers -195 – 2 stars
