Carolina Panthers cover the spread

The Carolina Panthers are underdogs – and rightfully so – at the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. It’s the biggest points differential against the spread this season at +10.5 according to the latest odds from WynnBET, which is proof positive that the task awaiting Matt Rhule and his players is a steep one.

Many people will be waiting on the fitness of quarterback Josh Allen before making a wager. If the stud signal-caller is ready to go, then more than a few big bets will be going on Buffalo prior to the contest.

Carolina’s performed a lot better when expectations are low this season. They are also a little more consistent on the road, which also helps.

This should allow the players to perform with a sense of freedom with playoff talk now evaporated. Whether that brings about an upturn in production is yet to be decided, but judging by what we’ve seen this season, it definitely cannot hurt.

Now, getting a win might be a stretch.

There are simply too many questions surrounding this roster for that.

But if everything goes right and the Panthers start well, then they are more than capable of keeping things closer than many expect.

With this in mind, our final bold prediction is Carolina covering the spread at Highmark Stadium.
