Carolina Panthers vs New York Jets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/19/25

The New York Jets are still bidding for their first victory of the season as they prepare to host the Carolina Panthers in Week 7 on Sunday afternoon. Even at home, the Jets really shouldn’t be favored over anyone in the NFL, so my Panthers vs Jets pick is on the visitors to win and cover. New York is 0-6 and deserves every bit of its winless record. Head coach Aaron Glenn’s team is #28 in total offense, dead-last in passing offense, has incurred the 7th-highest penalty yardage and has been sacked 25 times – tied for the most in the entire league. The Jets have been competitive at times, but they lost to Buffalo by 20 and to Dallas by 15 – and both of those games were at home. It’s not like they have any kind of home-field advantage in East Rutherford, especially since their fans have surely given up on the season at this point.

Carolina has won 3 of its last 4 contests, a stretch that includes a 30-0 rout of Atlanta – a result that looks better and better by the week. Bryce Young remains inconsistent, but he is coming off his 2nd 3-touchdown performance of the year and he has thrown “only” 3 interceptions in the past 5 outings after getting picked off twice in Week 1. This would be a max play if not for the fact that the Panthers have to figure out how to win on the road before they can be fully trusted. But this should be just the spot where that happens.

Just how bad is the Jets’ passing attack? Their 144.2 yards per game are 6.3 fewer than the pathetic Titans and at least 24.3 fewer than every other team in the NFL. What’s amazing is that New York is this bad even though Justin Fields has not thrown a single interception yet this season. Just think how hopeless the offense will be once Fields starts forcing things and getting picked off! The Jets’ only real hope is to keep the football on the ground, but the Panthers rank #9 league-wide against the run, surrendering just 94.5 yards per contest on 4.1 yards per carry. That is part of the reason why my Jets vs Panthers prediction is under 42.5.

Adding insult to injury, or vice versa, New York wide receiver Garrett Wilson is doubtful for Sunday due to a knee problem. WR2 Josh Reynolds (hip) did not practice on Wednesday and is questionable. There is no reason to think that things will suddenly improve for Fields when he could be without 2 of his primary pass-catching targets. Fortunately for the Jets, they can at least play some semblance of defense thanks to CB Sauce Gardner and DT Quinnen Williams. Meanwhile, the Panthers have 3 offensive starters listed as questionable: RB Chuba Hubbard, TE Ja’Tavion Sanders and OT Taylor Moton. Since Young is inconsistent and Hubbard (who might not even play) has done nothing on the ground so far in 2025, Carolina does not inspire much confidence on offense. I’m backing the under with confidence.

Panthers vs Jets prediction: Under 42.5 (-108) available at time of publishing. Playable to 41.
