Result
Final: Carolina Panthers 25 – 14 Philadelphia Eagles. Our pick, Carolina Panthers, won ✓.
Our pre-game preview
Carolina Panthers are our pick on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6. The model gives them a 54% chance of winning, which makes this game close to a coin flip (under 55%).
Philadelphia Eagles have the higher team rating (1507 to 1471), but the quarterback situation and rest push the pick to Carolina Panthers.
Schedule: Carolina Panthers are coming off a bye.
Quarterbacks: we expect Bryce Young to start for Carolina Panthers (46 career starts); Philadelphia Eagles' starter Jalen Hurts is listed injured reserve, so we have assumed a backup starts. We assume each team's most recent starter plays unless the injury report says otherwise.
Season so far: Carolina Panthers are 3–4 and Philadelphia Eagles are 2–6.

Game review
What happened
The Panthers beat the Eagles 25–14 on the road. Bryce Young completed 20 of 39 passes for 281 yards with 2 touchdowns, and Chuba Hubbard ran for 120 yards on 28 carries and scored once. For the Eagles, Tanner McKee completed 26 of 45 passes for 215 yards with 1 touchdown.
What the model got right
The model gave the Panthers a 54% chance on the road, mainly because of the quarterback situation and rest, even though the Eagles had the higher team rating (1507 to 1471), and they won by 11. Bryce Young started for the Panthers, as the preview expected.
What didn't work
The preview assumed Jalen Hurts would start for the Eagles, but Tanner McKee started instead. Our rating had the Eagles as the stronger team, and on the day that didn't decide it.
Why
The result fits what the model leaned on, the quarterback situation and rest. One win doesn't prove the model right: at 54% this was close to a coin flip and could easily have gone the other way, and every result stays on our record.
