Carolina Panthers vs. Commanders odds and prop bets for Week 7

The Carolina Panthers need to motivate themselves and plow through ongoing adversity in Week 7. Dave Canales is trying to keep this team engaged as another campaign spirals into oblivion. Easier said than done, but there is no other option.

Carolina faces a daunting challenge at the Washington Commanders this weekend. They're much further ahead than even the brightest optimist envisaged at this stage of their rebuild. It's an ambitious project waking one of the NFL's sleeping giants. These are two teams heading in different directions right now.

The Panthers are not without a chance despite missing more key men for the clash. Washington's defense is vulnerable without an early lead. Controlling the clock and keeping No. 2 pick Jayden Daniels off the field is the best chance of securing a surprising triumph on the road.

Whether the depleted Panthers are capable of this remains to be seen.

Andy Dalton prop bets

Andy Dalton played fairly well last time out. A crucial mistake ended up turning the tide, but the veteran quarterback will once again be under center in Week 7 at the Commanders.

How much longer this continues if the Panthers cannot get out of their slump is the big question. There's no point keeping Dalton in the lineup if Carolina has nothing to play for other than pride. But much will depend on how Canales perceives Bryce Young's future with the franchise after benching the former No. 1 overall pick.

Dalton has an opportunity to put a big game together at Northwest Stadium. Washington's defense isn't exactly blessed with outstanding playmakers, especially in the secondary. They are also without two starting defensive linemen to further raise encouragement.

The former second-round pick's over/under for passing yards is 233.5 according to FanDuel Sportsbook. This is available at -110 in both directions (bet $110 to win $100).

Dalton's pass completion marker stands at 22.5 from 34.5 attempts. His touchdown over/under is set at 1.5.

• Over 1.5 touchdowns: +116 (bet $100 to win $116)
• Under 1.5 touchdowns: -152 (bet $152 to win $100)
