Detroit at Carolina comes down to structural stability.
The Lions have the cleaner protection picture and more ways to stay efficient. Carolina can still create offense through Bryce Young, Chuba Hubbard and its pass catchers.

The projected game script is competitive early, then increasingly favorable to Detroit.
A Lions lead forces Carolina away from Hubbard and into more obvious dropbacks, which magnifies the exact area where Detroit has the strongest matchup edge.
Game-state is a major separator.
If Seattle leads, L.A. becomes more pass-heavy and Herbert faces more obvious passing downs.
If L.A. leads, Seattle can still operate through its strongest offensive structure: Darnold throwing to JSN, Kupp and Barner.
