PANTHERS at JETS

1 p.m., Ch. 5, Panthers by 4½, 40½

HANK’S HONEYS: Possible trap game for Panthers if they look ahead to Saints next week. Don’t think they will, especially coming off a bye week eager to get back into the fray. Jets, too, had the week off and they’ve been too unpredictable to figure out how they will react with playoff hopes dimming. Panthers’ running game is built for cold weather. Cam Newton should present problems on read option. Other than Tyrod Taylor, Jets haven’t seen it much, and he did run it with some success. Both teams have favorable trends. Jets are 6-0 ATS in last half dozen home games, Panthers are 6-1 ATS in last seven on road. IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Panthers and the over.
