Carolina Panthers vs New York Jets Prediction

Carolina comes in off two wins with productive rushing from Dowdle and excellent results from the kicking game. New York can run with Hall and Fields, but the Jets have not performed well late in games. In a low-scoring matchup, the Panthers’ recent form and kicking game give them the advantage on the road. Final Score Prediction: Carolina Panthers win and cover ATS 21–17.
