Chiefs vs Panthers Prediction
The current betting odds have the Chiefs listed as a 10.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Chiefs have looked great in their games this season with their 9-1 record overall which has them leading the AFC west with the best record in the entire NFL. They are the only team in the NFL at the moment that has 1 loss or less, but they are also coming off that first loss of the season in their last one. They lost on the road to the Bills by 9 points, but they will be looking to bounce back in a big way against a weaker team here. Meanwhile, the Panthers have looked terrible in their games this season with their 3-7 record overall which has them at the bottom of the NFC South with one of the worst records in the entire NFL. They are coming out of their bye week for this game so they have had extra time to prepare, but they also played their last game in Germany 2 weeks ago. They have looked a lot better lately with 2 wins in a row now and Young has even looked better in the offense, coming off a nice win over the Giants in their last one, but they still don't have the talent to go toe-to-toe with a team like the Chiefs here. The Chiefs are going to be motivated to bounce back after a humbling loss and that loss to the Bills will be big for the AFC seeding so they need to keep winning games and avoid losing again. The best way to place a bet here is on the Chiefs to cover the spread in this game.
Chiefs Panthers Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Sunday, November 24, 2024 (1:00 pm ET start time) is Chiefs 28 Panthers 13.

Notable Quotes
“It’s a great game to learn from for some of our young guys. Two good teams play each other, the margin between winning and losing is small. We can all learn from it and take something out of it to make us better down the road there. And we’ll do that.” - Andy Reid after his team’s loss against the Bills in their last game.
“I thought he had a great day. I thought it could have been a fantastic day. I thought a few balls got away from us. We’ll take all the information, but Bryce certainly is making a statement to all of us. I just can’t tell you how proud I am of just weekly progress.” - Dave Canales on Bryce Young after his team’s win against the Giants in their last game.
