Our Panthers vs. Bears predictions are high on D'Andre Swift with Chicago expected to be playing with the lead.
With the Bears favored and the Panthers particularly forgiving against the run, our NFL picks are targeting D'Andre Swift after a strong game last week.
Overall, the Panthers are allowing 4.6 yards per carry and sit 29th in ESPN’s run block win rate. Compounding those problems is a laundry list of ailments to the front seven of this defense. Chicago is a 4-point favorite on Sunday and its defense has been among the best in the league, primed to take advantage of a bad Panthers attack. With the Bears likely protecting a lead in the second half, the game script says Chicago will go ground-heavy and put the ball in Swift’s hands.
The Bears defense will be too much for Carolina, and the Panthers defense will buckle with all those injuries. Getting the Bears below the undervalued key number of -4 is nice.Chicago opened as high as -4.5 and has slowly dropped through -4 and sits as short as -3.5. Covers Consensus shows 59% of spread picks on the Bears.The forecast for Sunday’s game calls for sustained winds of 15 mph, but with wind gusts up to 30 mph blowing sideline to sideline at Solider Field.
