The Carolina Panthers are set to face the Dallas Cowboys in a matchup that highlights their recent improvement, particularly since Bryce Young returned to the lineup. For the first time, the Panthers are favored to win, a significant shift from last year's blowout loss to Dallas.

Injuries play a crucial role, with key players like Jaycee Horn and Trevon Diggs listed as questionable. The game is expected to focus on the ground game, given both teams' struggles against the run. Carolina's rising defense and Young's development could lead to a pivotal victory.
