Carolina at N.Y. Jets
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (Interstat) — The struggling New York Jets, still in search of their first win, are installed as narrow home favorites Sunday against a Carolina Panthers team riding a wave of momentum.
The Jets (0-6) host the Panthers (3-3) at MetLife Stadium in a Week 7 NFL matchup. Despite their winless record, New York is favored by 1.5 points, with an over/under of 41.5 points. A statistical projection from Interstat forecasts a 30-23 Jets victory.
Carolina arrives having won three of its last four games, including a 30-27 victory over Dallas last Sunday. Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is coming off a strong performance, completing 17 of 25 passes for 199 yards and three touchdowns while adding another score on the ground.
Conversely, the Jets are reeling from a 13-11 loss to Denver, a game in which their offense managed just 11 points. Quarterback Justin Fields was limited, passing for 45 yards and rushing for 31 in the defeat.
New York’s winless start has been marked by narrow losses, including three defeats by a single score. Carolina’s season has been a tale of two halves, starting 0-2 before finding its footing with a potent offense that has scored 27 or more points in three of its last four outings.
The game presents a stark contrast: a Panthers team building confidence against a desperate Jets squad looking to salvage its season.
