Cardinals at Panthers: Odds, betting lines, picks and prediction
Prediction
Cardinals 31, Panthers 26
Money line (?)
The Cardinals are 1-1 straight up in games in which they were favored. Carolina is 1-2 straight-up as underdogs. The Cardinals had a chance to win last week despite turning the ball over three times. Murray won’t throw three interceptions often, so the offense should easily put up points. Take the CARDINALS (-182).
Against the spread (?)
The line continues to move towards the Panthers. Arizona began the week -5.5, but the line has dropped to -3.5. The Cardinals have covered the spread in two of three games, including one of two games in which they were favored. Carolina has covered one of its three games – it was underdogs in all three. The Cardinals covered their one road game and the Panthers did not cover in their one home game so far this season. Take the CARDINALS -3.5 (-110).
Over/Under (?)
The Cardinals’ games have gone Under in all three so far this season. Carolina’s have gone Over in two of three. With a bad Carolina defense, a banged-up Arizona defense and two offensive units that can put up points, take the OVER 50.5 (-110).
