Will the Panthers beat the Chiefs? Here are predictions from national NFL experts
The Panthers (3-5) will face arguably their biggest test of the season when they take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
The Chiefs won the Super Bowl in February, and with a 7-1 start to the 2020 season, don’t appear to have lost a step. The Panthers received great news in time for this game: Star running back Christian McCaffrey will return from a high ankle sprain that caused him to miss the past six weeks. The Panthers were 3-3 without him.
The Panthers are 10.5-point underdogs.
So is anyone picking the Panthers to pull off the upset?
