Patriots vs Panthers Prediction
The Panthers are one of the worst teams in the league, just like they were a year ago. I understand they’re going to be underdogs nearly every week. However, that doesn’t mean we throw opponents all of this chalk. The Patriots aren’t world beaters, and they’ve had issues in pass defense, while the offense isn’t finishing drives. The Pats have scored 14 or fewer points in 2 of their first 3 games.
Also, the Patriots are 0-5 SU and ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. The Patriots haven’t won a game as a favorite since September 2023. That was two years ago, folks. The Panthers have quietly covered 7 of their last 10 games and are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games when underdogs of 3 or more points. Give me the Panthers and the points.
