The Los Angeles Chargers are 5.5-point favorites over the Carolina Panthers in Week 2 of the 2024 regular season. The over/under is 39 points, per BetMGM Sportsbook.
That means oddsmakers are taking bets on whether the two teams will combine to score more than or fewer than 39 points.
My score prediction for the game is a 21-10 win for the Bolts, with a combined total of 31 points. So, if I were putting money based on my prediction, I’d bet the under.
As for game picks, analysts are leaning toward the Chargers improving to 2-0.
