Christian McCaffrey to the rescue! The all-purpose RB is set to return after an injury rehab to pry the Panthers out of their offensive doldrums. They have averaged 65 more yards per game with him than without him. Four of Carolina’s five straight-up setbacks were by one-score margins, though no foe was as potent as the Chiefs. QB Teddy Bridgewater remains the underdog player’s best friend; he’s 20-4 ATS when his side receives points.

Teddy Bridgewater is 19-4 ATS as an underdog in his career and 17-3 on the road. Doubt him in this matchup at your own peril. The Chiefs thrashed the worst team in the league but haven't been firing on all cylinders lately aside from that, and their struggles defending the run line up well with a Carolina offense ready to welcome Christian McCaffrey back into the fold. The Panthers have lost by more than one score just once all year, and that was thanks to turning the ball over four times. Trust Teddy to protect the ball here and keep the Panthers close.
