Who's winning the Panthers vs. Jaguars game?

The Panthers are currently 3.5-point underdogs at home this week, and that line does not make much sense to me. There is much mystery over the type of impact that the sensational Travis Hunter will make on both sides of the ball, but on paper, the Panthers have a better QB, RB, and O-line. After gaining some momentum at the end of the 2024 season, I like the Panthers to cover +3.5 at home.
