Detroit and Carolina are two teams that are moving in opposite directions headed into Week 4. The Lions have lived up to expectations, beating inferior opponents while getting smoked by the Bills in Week 2. Meanwhile, the Panthers have been a disappointment after starting the season 1-2.That puts both teams in completely different positions ahead of Sunday Night Football. The Lions will be expected to win this game despite going on the road in a big spot. But the Panthers are now a cornered animal and need to get a win to save their season.So which team will come out on top in this one? And which players should fans have their eyes on ahead of this NFC showdown?Watch sports LIVE with fuboTV (free trial)Here are three bold predictions before the Lions and Panthers square off on Sunday Night Football in Week 4.Jared Goff outduels Bryce Young, continues his streak of games without an interceptionMark Konezny-Imagn ImagesThe only time that Goff seems to be the center of attention in Detroit is when everything is going wrong. But he is flying under the radar as one of the league’s best quarterbacks this season.Through three games, Goff has 802 passing yards with eight touchdowns and zero interceptions. He also boasts an impressive 116.1 passer rating, the best of his career up until this point. Detroit’s offense has thrived as a result, scoring over 30 points per game.Primetime games have a unique energy and can often be hotly contested. In those situations, the team with a better quarterback often comes out on top. That is exactly what Lions fans should expect in Week 4.Goff will finish this game with more passing yards than Young. To put an exactly number on it, we’ll say Goff needs at least 275 passing yards.But more impressively, he will continue his streak of consecutive games without throwing an interception.Jahmyr Gibbs rushes for over 200 yards, doubles up Panthers running gameThe Lions have featured Gibbs as the most important player in their offense so far this season.On some level, this has always been true. But Detroit has never given their superstar running back such a huge workload in the past. To his credit, Gibbs has more than excelled in a high-volume role.Jahmyr enters Week 4 with 65 carries for 307 rushing yards and four touchdowns. He also adds 18 receptions for 156 receiving yards and two touchdowns through the air. That means Gibbs is averaging over 150 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns per game.That should be a terrifying prospect for Panthers fans who
