Philadelphia is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a road underdog while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games following a loss. Carolina is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 7-15 ATS in their last 22 games against a team with a losing record while the under is 6-1 in their last 7 games overall.
Truth be told I’m not sure what to make of this matchup as maybe we got a look into the real Carolina Panthers last time out, but I’m also not big on what I’ve been seeing from the Eagles this year. That’s why I’m looking at the under here. This could be a game where the first to 20 wins and I’m banking on that being the case here between two less than stellar offenses. Give me the under.
