**New York Jets vs Carolina Panthers Prediction and Tips - NFL Week 7, 2025**

New York Jets 6–13 Carolina Panthers in NFL Week 7 at MetLife Stadium. Here's how the result stacked up against the model's call, with the win-probability story and where the value landed.

Carolina Panthers never trailed, and that's the whole story in six words. New York Jets spent four quarters chasing a scoreboard that opened at 0-3 after the first quarter and only grew from there. By the time Xavier Legette crossed for the game's lone touchdown with 1:18 left in the second quarter, making it 9-3, the Jets were already playing from behind against a team with no intention of easing off.

The final was 13-6, but the shape of it matters more than the number. Carolina led 10-3 at the break, pushed it to 13-3 through three quarters, and a late Jets field goal in the fourth was as close as New York got. Every one of New York's points came off the boot. They were kept out of the end zone completely, which tells you plenty about how this one was decided.

The stat sheet backs up what the scoreboard suggested. Carolina outgained New York 323 yards to 253, won first downs 27 to 19, and did it while running for 125 yards against the Jets' 81. That rushing gap lines up with the pre-match read: Carolina's backfield rated 77 against New York's 44, about as lopsided as these positional numbers get, and Rico Dowdle cashed it in with 79 yards on 17 carries.

Through the air, Bryce Young was efficient without needing to be spectacular: 15-of-25 for 138 yards and the one touchdown. Tyrod Taylor had the toug
