The Carolina Panthers and Dallas Cowboys square off in a week 4 NFL contest from AT&T Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Carolina Panthers will be out to build on a 24-9 win over Houston in their last game. Sam Darnold’s thrown for 888 yards, 2 touchdowns and an interception on 65.2% passing while DJ Moore is his leading receiver with 285 receiving yards on a team-high 22 catches. Robby Anderson also has 103 receiving yards for the Panthers this year. On defense, Shaq Thompson leads the Panthers with 20 total tackles while Haason Reddick has a team-high 4.5 sacks and Brian Burns has 3 sacks of his own this season.

The Dallas Cowboys will look to build on a 42-21 win over Philadelphia on Monday night in their last game. Heading into Monday night’s matchup, Dak Prescott threw for 640 yards, 3 touchdowns and a pair of interceptions while Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott each have 100+ rushing yards. CeeDee Lamb leads Dallas’ receivers with 185 receiving yards while Amari Cooper has 163 receiving yards and a pair of scores.

Carolina is 8-0 ATS in their last 8 road games and 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games following a win. Dallas is 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games against a team with a winning record and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games in October while the over is 8-2 in their last 10 home games.

The Cowboys kicked the snot out of Philly in primetime, but I have to admit, I’m not overly impressed with the Eagles and thought that the result from Dallas was a bit expected. The Panthers aren’t world-beaters by any means, but this is the best position Sam Darnold has bee in as a starter and the defense is looking legit for Carolina. I think the Panthers could be a team to watch. Give me the Panthers here.
