Panthers at Giants odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Panthers 23, Giants 16
Money line
The PANTHERS (-155) are a decent play at this price as it isn’t terribly out of line if you don’t want to worry about laying the points. Yes, Carolina has lost three in a row, but the Giants could be the elixir to cure the Panthers’ ills.
Against the spread
The PANTHERS -2.5 (-130) is a little on the expensive side, so you might just want to play the money line. Carolina is the play because of its defense, and the fact New York is so banged up.
The Panthers rank third in the NFL with just 308.3 total yards per game allowed, and Carolina is second in the league with just 196.8 passing yards per game.
The Panthers have allowed just 20.2 PPG. That will be the difference here.
Over/Under
The UNDER 42.5 (-112) is the lean based upon New York’s rash of injuries, and Carolina’s sturdy defense.
The Under has hit in four straight for the Panthers as favorites, and is 6-1 in the previous seven as road faves. The Under is 10-3-1 for the G-Men dating back to last season, and 5-0-1 in the past six as home dogs.
