What the ESPN FPI Says About the Panthers' Chances Against the Jaguars
Have the Carolina Panthers turned the corner? Finally? Over the last two weeks, the Panthers have proven to be more competitive and were a couple of plays away from entering this week's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on a two-game winning streak.
Bryce Young is coming off his best game as a pro where he completed 23-of-36 pass attempts for 312 yards and a pair of touchdowns. It may having came in a losing effort but nonetheless, it's a great thing to see. Young's development as a quarterback is more important than the outcome of a game at this stage of the season.
Flipping over to the other side, the Jacksonville Jaguars are in desperate need for a win. After starting off the season 6-2, they've dropped to 8-7 and have lost four straight -- two of which have been by multiple scores.
Franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence has been beat up with a handful of injuries and was knocked out of Sunday's game with a shoulder. His status for this week's game is up in the air.
According to the ESPN FPI, the Panthers have just a 21.8% chance to win while the Jaguars have a 78% chance.
