Carolina Panthers vs Philadelphia Eagles Prediction, Odds and NFL Picks for Tomorrow

Coming off a bye week, the Panthers are well-rested and their defense should be poised to stymie a banged-up Eagles offense. At the same time, Carolina's offensive attack also fails to inspire a whole bunch of confidence. As such, my Panthers vs Eagles pick is Under 39.5. Right tackle Monroe Freeling is questionable, and his absence would be a big blow for the visitors. Quarterback Bryce Young is playing well, but Carolina's ground game is mediocre at best.

Philly has not scored more than 24 points in any game this season, and it is averaging 14.7 ppg over its past three outings. Health has become a humongous concern offensively, too. Hurts is out, Barkley and Smith are questionable, and the offensive line is a new-look unit that is in borderline shambles. Lane Johnson retired earlier this month and Cam Jurgens was traded to Baltimore prior to Week 5. The 39.5 number is relatively low, but that's because all signs point toward a sloppy, defensive-minded affair. I don't think it's low enough.

Panthers vs Eagles prediction: Under 39.5 (-105) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

The Philadelphia Eagles will be looking to bounce back from a brutal London loss when they host the Carolina Panthers on Sunday afternoon. Philadelphia took the lead with eight seconds left only to give up a big kickoff return followed by a 57-yard field goal by Cam Little to give Jacksonville a 19-17 victory. Even though head coach Nick Sirianni's team is back at home, it is coming off a somewhat difficult week of travel. Carolina, on the other hand, enjoyed its bye in Week 5. That's an advantage that should not be underestimated, which is part of the reason why my Panthers vs Eagles pick is the visitors on the money line.

Most importantly, news broke on Thursday that Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts will not play due to a blood clot in his leg. He is out indefinitely. With Hurts sidelined, Tanner McKee is taking the reins of the offense under center. In six NFL appearances, the 26-year-old out of Stanford has completed 61.4 percent of his passes for 597 yards with five touchdowns and one interception. McKee seems to be a serviceable QB, but he certainly isn't Hurts. And that's not where the Eagles' infirmary report ends, either. Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks and two offensive linemen are questionable. Even if the home team was at full strength, Carolina would have a good chance to win this game. Given the Eagles' woes, the Panthers should win it.

Panthers vs Eagles prediction: Panthers ML (+100) available at time of publishing. Playable to Panthers -3.5 now that Hurts is out.
