The market is overrating Detroit more than nearly any other team at the moment. The Lions failed to cover their first two games while they snuck home by a \u00bd point against the Jets last week. Detroit have now covered just four of their last 15 games. Detroit have not covered their last six off a win. This is a great spot for the Panthers too. They have covered 12 straight off a loss while underdogs heading into a bye are 39-24-3 against the number. Carolina are a tremendous under-the\u2013radar play. Jalen Coker has become the favourite target of Bryce Young. Coker has 22 targets – one off Tetairoa McMillan despite missing much of last week with injury – with two touchdowns. He leads all receivers in redzone targets. Chuba Hubbard is now the near fulltime back with Jonathon Brooks on IR. Hubbard had 23 touches last week. He has three touchdowns this season. Jahmyr Gibbs has 13 catches for 126 yards the last two weeks.<\/p>\n

Tips<\/strong>
\nBest: Carolina +3.5 ($1.92)
\nNext: Carolina Win ($2.60)
\nTouchdown: Jalen Coker ($14 First, $2.90 Anytime)
\nSGM: Jalen Coker TD\/Chuba Hubbard TD\/Jahmyr Gibbs Over 35.5 Rec Yards ($10.61)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
