Check out what the oddsmakers think about the Carolina Panthers this week.
If you thought things were going to get better after that debacle against the New Orleans Saints, you thought wrong. The Carolina Panthers opened their home schedule against Jim Harbaugh and the Los Angeles Chargers and were thoroughly routed once again. While the defense looked a little bit better, the offense somehow managed to look even worse.
The Las Vegas Raiders just pulled off an upset win in Baltimore against the Ravens, so surely the oddsmakers are going to like them at home against a Panthers team that currently looks like they have little chance of beating any team in the NFL. Let’s see what we’ve got.
Week 3
Spread
Raiders -7
Panthers +7
Over/Under

Moneyline
Raiders -360
Panthers +290
I’d hazard to say the line seems too generous to the Panthers. They haven’t looked remotely competitive through two games, so having them losing by a single touchdown on the road to a team that just beat a Super Bowl contender is somewhat surprising. But I guess expectations are low for the Raiders too, so maybe the Panthers can sneak up on them. That is what Panthers do after all.
If watching the Panthers for the love of the game isn’t enough for you, you can wager some of your dollars on them on FanDuel Sportsbook. Those odds were as of the writing of this post and are subject to change.
