September's presence, mere days away, and the air turning crisp can only mean one thing … NFL football is back, baby!

Now that sportsbooks have dropped Over/Under win totals for every team in the league, it's time to dive into the fun and look at the numbers from a betting perspective.

Can the Carolina Panthers eclipse their win total of 7.5?

Here is how our FOX Sports talent sees the Panthers' season playing out.

Pick via FOX Sports Betting Analyst Jason McIntyre: Panthers Under 7.5 wins

Too much new for me with the Panthers — new OC, new QB, new head coach. They’ll have tons of kinks to work out, so don’t be stunned by a slow start.

Bryce Young’s offensive line has had a bad preseason, and the skill position players are average at best. Toss in four of the first six games being on the road, and there’s a recipe for a 4 or 5 win season, with many of those wins coming against the AFC South.

It’s never easy winning with a rookie quarterback, and Bryce Young may have some growing pains early on. But Ejiro Evero’s defense has some versatile pieces that could be used creatively. Can that unit build on what they did in the second half of 2022? Frank Reich has the best chance at immediate success of the coaches dealing with rookie quarterbacks this season.
