The receivers have been balanced out wide, but Xavier Leggette has been the best player, with 393 yards and four touchdowns on 37 receptions. Chuba Hubbard has been great in the backfield in this offense. He has 919 yards and seven touchdowns on 189 carries. This offense has been playing better in recent games, but they have a huge challenge against the Eagles defense, which is statistically the best defense in the NFL. It will be a struggle to move the ball on this defense.
The Panthers' defense has been awful this season. They are allowing 392.1 yards per game, the second-worst in the NFL.

This Panthers' defense will have a huge challenge against Saquon Barkley. They have the worst rushing defense in the NFL, and Barkley might have a field day in this game against the Panthers. He has an MVP-caliber season, which is the key to this game.
Why The Eagles Could Cover The Spread/Win
The Philadelphia Eagles look unstoppable right now. Their offense has been great and is third in the league in yards per game at 377.7 yards. Then, they also scored 26.7 points per game, seventh in the NFL. Jalen Hurts is the key for this offense and makes this team go at quarterback.

AJ Brown is the best receiver on the team, with 793 yards and four touchdowns on 44 receptions. They have the best-rushing offense in the NFL, with 188.9 yards per game. The combination of Hurts and Saquon Barkley has been lethal on offense. Hurts has 485 yards and 12 touchdowns on 124 carries, while Barkley is in the MVP conversation with 1,499 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on 246 carries. This offense is on a roll, and Barkley has a great chance to pad his stats as an MVP favorite against an awful Panthers rushing defense. This entire offense has a great matchup against a struggling Panthers defense.

They are the third-best passing defense in the NFL and seventh in rushing defense. They allow 178 yards through the air and 104.8 yards per game on the ground.

Gardner-Johnson, and rookie Cooper DeJean have been massive in the lockdown Philadelphia secondary. This Philadelphia defense has found its stride on their huge winning streak this season. This is an interesting matchup because the Panthers' offense has looked much better in the last three weeks, but the Eagles' defense is a different beast.
Final Panthers-Eagles Prediction & Pick
The Eagles look unstoppable thanks to Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts on offense, and then the defense looks like they are the best unit in the NFL. The Panthers are playing well despite their recent losses, and they have given the Chiefs and Buccaneers all they could handle in their last two games. Still, the Eagles have become Super Bowl favorites and should continue their dominance at home against the Panthers with a win. This spread is too big based on how the Panthers are playing. The Panthers should cover this spread, but the Eagles win and continue their winning streak.
Final Panthers-Eagles Prediction & Pick: Carolina Panthers +12.5 (-110)
