What are some of the best prop bets available when the Carolina Panthers welcome the New England Patriots in Week 9?
Gameday has finally arrived after another interesting week for everyone associated with the Carolina Panthers. Their impressive win at the Atlanta Falcons in Week 8 brought a much more positive feel to preparations ahead of Week 9, which will see them lock horns with the New England Patriots at Bank of America Stadium.
The Panthers are currently 3.5-point underdogs for the contest, according to the latest odds from WynnBET. However, this is far from the dominant New England teams of old and Carolina has a good opportunity to get themselves back to winning record with an efficient display.
This game also represents something of a measuring stick for Matt Rhule. The head coach lavished praise on Belichick and everything he’s accomplished during his career, but it’s important that the former Baylor man doesn’t get outcoached and reacts quickly to in-game situations as they develop.
Without further ado, here are the three best player prop bets for Week 9 game.
Prop Bet No. 1
Carolina Panthers hold Jakobi Meyers under 4.5 receptions
- -115 odds with WynnBET
The Panthers have a loaded defense that’s only been enhanced by the arrival of Stephon Gilmore, an All-Pro cornerback that held stud rookie Kyle Pitts in check during their much-needed win at the Falcons.
This game will have some added spice for Gilmore against the team that was going to release him before Carolina offered a 2023 sixth-round pick. Add in the South Carolina product’s displeasure at the way a serious torn quad injury was handled by the organization and it’s not hard to see why things could mean a whole lot more.
Keeping Jakobi Meyers in check will go a long way to determining the outcome in this one. Gilmore, Donte Jackson, A.J. Bouye, C.J. Henderson, and Keith Taylor Jr. should be too much for the wideout, so betting under 4.5 receptions at -115 (bet $115 to win $100) is a solid wager considering the strength of Carolina’s secondary.
