Panthers vs Jets Prediction
The current betting odds have the Panthers listed as a 1.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Panthers haven't looked bad in their games this season with their 3-3 record overall. They had a rough start to the season, but now they are off a 30-27 win over the Cowboys and have won 2 games in a row. Their offense has looked a lot better with Rico Dowdle leading the way in the run game and the defense has looked better too, making plays when they need them most. Meanwhile, the Jets have looked terrible in their games this season with their 0-6 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the AFC East as the only winless team left in the NFL. They are off a 13-11 loss to the Broncos in their last one and they are coming back from England for this game. Their offense has looked terrible as they pretty much have no passing offense, and the defense hasn't looked any better as they have been giving up a ton of points. The Panthers have been showing a lot of improvement over the last 2 weeks and they definitely have the more reliable offense to move the ball in this game. The Jets look like a team that is ready to quit on the season while the Panthers are moving in the opposite direction right now. The best way to place a bet here is on the Panthers to cover the spread in this game.
Panthers Jets Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Sunday, October 19, 2025 (1:00 pm ET start time) is Panthers 27 Jets 10.
