NFL Thursday night
PHILADELPHIA (4-1)
AT CAROLINA (4-1)
TV: 5:15 p.m., Channel 2, NFL Network.
Odds: Panthers by 3.
Over/under: 45½.
Sam Farmer’s pick: This figures to be a great matchup between two hot teams. Going on the road for a Thursday night game is rough, and Cam Newton is hitting his stride after missing virtually all of the preseason. Panthers 24, Eagles 20
