The Carolina Panthers (4-7) visit the Minnesota Vikings (4-6) at U.S. Bank Stadium Sunday at 1 p.m. ET in Week 12. Here’s a look at the early betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.
The Panthers shellacked the Detroit Lions as 3-point home underdogs 20-0 last week. The defense stepped up with QB Teddy Bridgewater sidelined by injury, holding Detroit to 185 total yards, 10 first downs and sacking QB Matthew Stafford five times.
QB P.J. Walker filled in for Bridgewater—completing 24 of 34 passes for 258 yards, 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions. Carolina hopes to have Bridgewater back under center. He is a game-time decision this week.
Carolina’s betting records
- Against the spread: 6-5
- Over/Under: 5-6
Minnesota lost as a 7-point home favorite against the Dallas Cowboys 31-28 in Week 11. The offense put up an awesome game: 314 passing yards, 3 passing touchdowns, zero interceptions and a 140.1 QB Rating from QB Kirk Cousins, and RB Dalvin Cook carried the ball 27 times for 115 yards with 1 touchdown.
Both starting WRs—Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson—scored touchdowns with Thielen hitting paydirt twice with one of the touchdowns a nominee for the catch of the year. But Minnesota’s defense reverted back to early-season form as it gave up 180 yards on the ground and Dallas QB Andy Dalton threw 3 touchdowns.
