Pros
- The projections expect the Panthers as the 7th-most run-oriented team among all teams this week with a 46.2% run rate, given their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics.
- The Panthers have called the 2nd-most plays in the league this year, totaling a colossal 62.7 plays per game.
- The projections expect Chuba Hubbard to garner 18.5 rush attempts in this game, on average, placing him in the 92nd percentile among RBs.
- The projections expect Chuba Hubbard to be a more important option in his offense’s running game in this week’s contest (62.9% projected Carry Share) than he has been this year (51.2% in games he has played).
- In regards to opening holes for runners (and the significance it has on all run game statistics), the O-line of the Panthers ranks as the 10th-best in the league last year.
Cons
- This game’s line implies an extreme throwing game script for the Panthers, who are huge -7-point underdogs.

- Chuba Hubbard’s running effectiveness has diminished this year, averaging a mere 3.84 adjusted yards-per-carry vs a 4.73 figure last year.
