Panthers at Commanders picks and predictions

Prediction

Commanders 36, Panthers 23

Moneyline

The Commanders (-500) will cost you 5 times your potential return, and that’s a little too much risk for not nearly enough reward.

Washington should be able to get the job done against the lowly Panthers (+375), but even as part of a multi-leg parlay, including the Commanders sucks all of the value out of your ticket.

PASS.

Against the spread

The COMMANDERS -9.5 (-110) are laying a big number, and with their defense, it isn’t a sure thing.

However, the Panthers +9.5 (-110) have a pretty shabby defense, too, and QB Jayden Daniels should find plenty of open spaces. Carolina is just 1-5 ATS this season, including 3 consecutive non-covers with losses by 10 or more points. And, Carolina has lost by 10 or more points in 5 of 6 outings this season.

Over/Under

OVER 51.5 (-110) might be the best play on the board.

While the Over was 0-3 in games with a closing total of 50 or more points in the 1st 5 weeks, we saw the Over go 2-0 in 2 such games in Week 6.

The Over has cashed in 4 straight games, while going 5-1 this season, for Carolina. The Panthers have allowed 34 or more points in 3 in a row, and 4 of 6 outings.

For the Commanders, the Over has hit in 4 in a row, too, while going 5-1 in the 6 games this season. The Commanders have allowed 30 or more points 3 times, while going for 34 or more points in 3 of the past 4 outings on offense.
