Kansas City's undefeated season came to an end last week with the road loss at Buffalo. The Chiefs should get back on track in an easy matchup against Carolina. They may win, but the point spread is just big enough to take a chance on the Panthers to cover.
Carolina is coming off its bye week and has quietly won its past two games. Yes, those wins came against the Saints and Giants, but it still shows us that the lowly Panthers aren't just a pushover like they were earlier in the year. On that note, Bryce Young is playing with a bit more confidence since getting his starting job back.
All of the X's and O's, along with common sense, point to Kansas City winning comfortably here. The spread is also unsurprisingly large because it's the previously undefeated Chiefs facing the woeful Panthers. However, some interesting trends give value to the underdogs in this matchup.
First off, the public perception may be that Kansas City is in prime bounce-back mode after suffering its first loss. Yet, the situational spot is hard to ignore. The Chiefs could just go through the motions in a game it's supposed to win - especially following such an intense rivalry matchup last week vs. Buffalo. Plus, they have divisional games coming up in the next two weeks and could overlook Carolina slightly.
Kansas City with Patrick Mahomes at quarterback is 0-3-1 ATS as a double-digit road favorite over the years. Mahomes is also just 39% ATS as a double-digit favorite in his career. The Chiefs have been playing close games all season and surviving until it caught up with them last week. Only one of their nine wins has been by 11+ points. Only two of their victories this year are by 10+ points. The Chiefs are also just 1-4 ATS when favored by six or more points this season.
Now onto some props. Travis Kelce is coming off one of his worst games in recent years with just eight yards on two catches last week. Before that, though, he had at least 64 yards in five of the previous six games. Kelce is still a big part of the Chiefs' passing attack and he'll face a Panthers defense that's allowing 60.8 receiving yards per game to tight ends (seventh-most in NFL).
Despite the Chiefs being strong against the run, the Panthers have a better rushing attack than you may think. Chuba Hubbard is averaging 5.1 yards per carry and consistently gets 15-20 touches per game (averaging 19.1 touches per game). Yes, the Chiefs are shutting down opposing rushers, but Hubbard has 50+ rush yards in nine straight games while averaging 89.3 yards per game in this stretch.
