Chicago Bears Carolina Panthers Betting Predictions
NFL Week5’s Bears at Panthers game will be a war of attrition. Both teams have many key injuries going into this one so it will be interesting which back up players have the most impact. Today we will go over our NFL Week 5 predictions starting with the Bears at Panthers game where the Panthers are currently listed as -3 point home favorites.
In week 5 of the NFL season, the Chicago Bears will travel to Charlotte, NC to play against the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers have been on fire ever since Cam Newton has come into his own. The Bears have also been firing on all cylinders with a few big wins in primetime games. Most recently, the Bears defeated the Jets on Monday Night Football. This game between the Bears and the Panthers will take place on Sunday, October 5th at 1PM at Bank of America Stadium.
The Bears will start Jay Cutler as quarterback against the Panthers. The Panthers look pretty good on defense this year so this game could be the ultimate test. Being that the Bears look like one of the best teams in the NFC North while the Panthers pass the eye ball test as being one of the top teams in the NFC South, its entirely plausible that these two teams could cross paths again in the 2014 NFL playoffs.
Ron Rivera is the coach of the Panthers and he is as defensive minded as they come. Rivera made a name for himself after diffusing Peyton Manning’s offensive attack while Rivera was defensive coordinator with the San Diego Chargers. Rivera is looking to make a name for himself as he tries to battle the surprisingly potent offense of the Chicago Bears.
