Things are heating up as the NFL regular season comes to an end with eight tickets still available for the postseason. The teams that still have a slim chance to make it to the postseason will surely make the final effort for it.
One of the games involving two teams aspiring to get one of those postseason tickets is the Lions vs Panthers. This Saturday, December 24, will be their last chance to get to the postseason, and although they still depend on other results, a win in this game is a good thing for anyone.

Betting on the Detroit Lions
- Regular season record: 7-7
- DraftKings Spread: -3
- BetMGM Moneyline: -150
- Over/Under: 44
The Detroit Lions do not want to be left out of the postseason, and they will make every last effort to secure one of the eight remaining tickets available. The team had many ups and downs at the beginning of the season, and it was difficult to picture them being among the best in their conference and their division. Now, the team is among the best as it has only one loss in its last seven games they have played, and it arrives to this match with three consecutive victories.
They rank second in the NFC North Division with a 7-7 record, trailing only the Minnesota Vikings (11-3).
Betting on the Carolina Panthers
- Regular season record: 5-9
- DraftKings Spread:+3
- BetMGM Moneyline: +125
- Over/Under: 44
Incredible as it may seem, the Carolina Panthers have entered Week 16 of the NFL season with a chance to move into the postseason. The NFC South has been pretty generous to say the least, as the Atlanta Falcons, the New Orleans Saints and the Panthers have the same 5-9 record. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers has a 6-8 record, which indicates that this weekend, in that Division, all four teams are playing for everything.
The Panthers fell by a score of 24-16 to the Pittsburgh Steelers in their previous game and that is what makes it all the more surprising that they are still alive prior to this game.
JefeBet Prediction
The two franchises arrive to this game with the obligation to get a win, and although the game will be played at the Panthers’ home, it is not enough reason to believe that they will be able to get the victory, mainly because the Lions have just defeated teams like the Jaguars, the Vikings and the Jets in their last games.
Prediction: Detroit Lions win and Over.
