The Carolina Panthers enter this game with a record of 1-7 as it has been a rough start to the Bryce Young era. Things have been even tougher for the Panthers in the media lately with the recent resurgence of CJ Stroud who was drafted after Young, who appears to be the best quarterback in that class.

Carolina Panthers vs. Chicago Bears Prediction
Nonetheless, there is a game to be played tonight and I think the Panthers may be in a good spot. They are catching the bears who are coming off of a weird game against the New Orleans Saints where they actually played fairly well and had chances to win but ended up losing by a score of 24-17 but covered the spread.
The Panthers are also coming off a weird game where they lost to the Indianapolis Colts at home, largely in part because Bryce Young threw two pick sixes. The Panthers actually outgained the Colts 275 to 198 and I think some of that turnover luck/regression will swing back to the way of the Panthers tonight. The Panthers have not played their best ball on the road either as they are 0-4 SU and 0-4 ATS.
Something has to give eventually, and I do think the Panthers will play much better tonight against a Chicago Bears team coming off a solid effort against the Saints, as Chicago has struggled with consistency this season. The Bears have also not been the best home team either as they are 1-3 straight up with their only win coming against the Las Vegas Raiders, where the Raiders started Brian Hoyer at quarterback.
This should be an ugly and back and forth type game and considering the Panthers are catching over a field goal here, I have to give them the edge a bit in this matchup as I think these teams are both very similar in terms of talent, but the Panthers are in a positive regression spot while the Bears are in a negative regression spot. With that being said, I am rolling with the Panthers at +3.5 at -108 for 1.5U as my most confident NFL play of the day for tonight's action as I think the Panthers win this game straight up or keep it close.
