road game lost by 21 at home defense didnt force a punt all last game I know the panthers have a ton of issues with injuries, suspensions and poor play too but I don't think its insane that they are favored. they did just destroy the 3-1 Lions a couple of weeks ago (albeit followed up with 2 crappy performances) 'destroy' seems like a strange characterization Lions played them pretty even (yardage, TOP) but mostly unenforced mistakes (TD drop, RZ fumble, missed FGs) were the difference that should bode well for the Bears, following your logic
