Carolina Panthers vs Dallas Cowboys Prediction 12-15-24 NFL Picks

In this article, we will formulate a Carolina Panthers vs Dallas Cowboys Prediction for this NFL Week 15 game on Sunday, December 15th, at Bank of America Stadium.

Cowboys Are Bad

The Cowboys haven’t been able to get all of their way all season, and it happened again on Monday night football. Late in the game after a blocked kick the Cowboys decided to touch it, and then fumbled it, and the Cincinnati Bengals were able to overcome it. The Cowboys ended up losing 27-20. Cooper Rush completed 16 of his 31 passes for 183 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Running back Rico Dowdle finished with 18 carries for 131 yards. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb caught six passes for 93 yards and a touchdown. 

The Cowboys are averaging 2.6 points while their defense is giving up 28.2 points per game. The offense is ranked 21st in the league while the defense is ranked 31st. Cooper Rush actually didn’t play all that bad in the last game, it’s just bad mistakes that keep killing this team. 

Panthers Have Been More Competitive

The Panthers have been more competitive as of late, but they fell just short in the last game. The Panthers faced off against the Philadelphia Eagles, and they scored 16 points, while the defense gave up 22 points. The Eagles were outscored 8-0 in the 4th quarter and that led to the defeat. Bryce Young completed 19 of his 34 passes for 191 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Carolina on the season is averaging 17.9 points while their defense is giving up 29.9 points per game. The offense is ranked 28th in the league while the defense is ranked 32nd in the league. In this game, if they want to find success, the defense is going to need to be good. 

Why the Panthers Will Beat the Cowboys

• The Cowboys have lost four of their last five Sunday games.
• The favorites have won seven of the Cowboys’ last eight games.
• The Panthers have covered the spread in seven of their last eight December games against NFC opponents.
• The Cowboys have failed to cover the spread in each of their last four games in December.
• The Panthers have won the first quarter in six of their last seven December games against NFC East opponents.
• The Panthers have won the first half in six of their last seven December games against NFC East opponents.

Carolina Panthers vs Dallas Cowboys Prediction

Betting on the Panthers as favorites seems scary, but I just don’t know how you bet against them. Bryce Young looks good, and he should probably get another year to see if he’s the answer for this team. Young is going to have a strong game against this terrible Cowboys defense, and that is going to be the difference here as Carolina is going to get the job done. Back the Panthers against the spread here. It might be a scary bet, but the Panthers are going to find a way to come out on top.
