Bill Speros writes: "The Future Is Now. The top 2 players and quarterbacks taken in the 2023 NFL draft offer a neat sneak peak at what might in store for the league. Bryce Young for the Panthers and C.J. Stroud for the Texans. Both teams are in full development mode. This is solid test for both. And a good one for bragging rights. The Panthers opened as 3-point home favorites. They are now 3-point home underdogs. Stroud and the Texas are more than 3 points ahead of their Carolina counterparts on the development curve. Young is still trying to develop a groove with any receivers aside from Adam Thielen. The Texans will be ready for that."

CBS Sports: Odds favor Texans in NFL Week 8 vs. Panthers
Tyler Sullivan writes: "Both of these teams were on the bye in Week 7, so they'll be fully rested for this head-to-head. This will be a matchup between quarterbacks that went No. 1 (Bryce Young) and No. 2 (C.J. Stroud) in the 2023 NFL Draft. So far, Stroud has enjoyed more success as his Texans are 3-3 on the year while Young and the Panthers have yet to record a win at 0-6. With that in mind, it's not surprising to see Houston favored despite being the road team. The Texans are 2-1 ATS on the road this season while the Panthers are 0-1-1 ATS at home."
