Carolina Panthers Betting Trends

Although the Panthers have lost four of their last five games, Steve Wilks has his team playing hard. Installed as head coach after the firing of Matt Rhule, the interim bench boss has steadied the ship.

Additionally, Carolina should have won the versus Atlanta last week and be sitting in 1st place in the NFC South. After a wondrous hail mary toss from PJ Walker to DJ Moore, all kicker Eddie Pineiro had to do was hit a long extra point to secure the win. He shanked the kick and then missed another opportunity to win in overtime. Panthers ownership really is doing all it can to tank this season away.

That being said, after an atrocious start to the campaign, the Panthers have covered the spread in two straight games. A week 7 demolishing of Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has to be the highlight of the year thus far.

Many questioned just how far this Carolina team would fall after trading Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers. However, backup D’onta Foreman has thrived in his stead, rushing for 118 yards in back-to-back contests, and scoring 3 touchdowns last week.

Nevertheless, wager on the Panthers at your own risk. Carolina is just 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games and 5-17 ATS in their last 22 games overall.

Cincinnati Bengals Betting Trends

Just when we believed the Bengals season had turned the corner, Burrow and company struggled mightily against the Cleveland Browns.

After winning four games in five weeks, bettors could be forgiven for finally believing in this year’s Bengals squad. Frighteningly, Joe Burrow is now 0-5 against the once lowly Browns in his career.

Having said that, the Bengals have been dominant at home recently, winning 7 of their last 10 games at Paycor Stadium. Moreover, Joe Burrow is quietly having a splendid season. The LSU alumni is completing nearly 70% of his passes while tossing for 2,329 yards and 17 touchdowns on the year. Joey B should be able to beat up on a Panthers secondary allowing nearly 240 passing yards per game this season.

The betting trends are tough to ignore in this one. Cincinnati is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games, and 13-3 against the spread in their last 16 games played. Moreover, the Bengals are excellent at exacting revenge after a big loss. Zac Taylor’s squad is 4-0 against the spread in their last 4 games following a straight-up loss.

Carolina Panthers vs Cincinnati Bengals Prediction

The betting public is all over Carolina against a Bengals squad that is sorely missing superstar wideout Ja’Marr Chase. After watching the Bengals’ offensive line get beat up yet again last week, few will have any faith in this offense.

Regardless, although they’ve played better as of late, the Panthers are hardly a bettors’ dream. Especially on the road.

Don’t overthink this one, bet on the better football team.
