Check out what the oddsmakers think about the Panthers this week
The Carolina Panthers one-week streak of being favored in NFL games is already over. It’s almost like it wasn’t even there. The Panthers are taking on their more traditional role of home underdogs next week against the Arizona Cardinals. That does mean you can once again risk it all on your favorite team—or, as is more often the case, bet against them.
The simple fact that they have given real teams a run for their money should not be taken as evidence that they can beat a bad team. Take a look:
Week 16
Spread
Cardinals: -4.5
Panthers: +4.5
O/U
45.5
Moneyline
Cardinals: -200
Panthers: +168
Remember that home-field advantage is traditionally accounted for by spotting the home team—the Panthers, in this case—three points on the spread. That means Arizona would be favored on a neutral field by a full touchdown.
