Check out what the oddsmakers think about the Panthers this week
The 1-6 Carolina Panthers are subjecting their loyal, long suffering fans to another Sean Payton coached team in the 2024 Denver Broncos. The Broncos are 4-3 through seven weeks and are coming off of a big Thursday Night Football win 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.
The Panthers are bad. That comes as no surprise to anybody who has been watching this team since 2017. What is new this season is that they are occasionally almost good. This afternoon was not one such occasion, but last week against the Atlanta Falcons was. There does not seem to be a rhyme or reason to which weeks the team shows up, so there is no telling if next week is going to be one or not. That may explain why FanDuel doesn’t have them as bigger underdogs against a team that has won games (plural). Take a look:
Week 8
Spread
Panthers: +7
Broncos: -7
O/U
41.5
Moneyline
Panthers: +375
Broncos: -375
Remember that home-field advantage is traditionally accounted for by spotting the home team—the Broncos, in this case—three points on the spread. That means the Broncos would be favored by a little over a field goal on a neutral field.
