Check out what the oddsmakers think about the Panthers this week
The Carolina Panthers are back in action this weekend against the New Orleans Saints. That means you can once again risk it all on your favorite team—or, as should be more likely, bet against them.
Week 1 was an embarrassing, catastrophic beginning for the Dave Canales era and take two on the Bryce Young era. It’s never a good look when the first overall pick from the last season is facing calls to be benched in favor of Andy Dalton after Week 1 for the second year in a row.
The Los Angeles Chargers, newly helmed by Jim Harbaugh, on the other hand, delivered a convincing win against the Las Vegas Raiders. It’s no wonder when comparing the two franchises that oddsmakers were not kind to the Panthers. Take a look:
Week 2
Spread
Chargers: -4.5
Panthers: +4.5
O/U
39.5
Moneyline
Chargers: -230
Panthers: +110
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 the Chargers would be favored by over a touchdown on a neutral field or what the Saints scored in the first quarter today if they were at home.
