Tipico Sportsbook has the Panthers as 2.5-point underdogs to the host Giants for Week 2.
What are the odds of New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones reeling in another long reception against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday? Well, since it was so painfully bizarre—particularly for the latter team—good luck finding a prop bet on that.
But we can tell you where to find the more conventional numbers.
For those, we look to Tipico Sportsbook—who opened up the 0-1 Panthers as 2.5-point underdogs to the 1-0 Giants ahead of their Week 2 matchup.
Carolina will enter MetLife Stadium on an eight-game losing streak—the longest active mark in the NFL. Their latest defeat came in the season opener, where the visiting Cleveland Browns thwarted a furious comeback effort from quarterback Baker Mayfield and the Panthers in a 26-24 nail-biter.
New York, on the other hand, got the luck of the leg. Whereas the Panthers were downed by the opposing kicker to end the game, the Giants grabbed a victory off a missed 47-yard field goal from the Tennessee Titans’ Randy Bullock as time expired.
This’ll be the second meeting in as many seasons for these two teams, with the Giants having topped the Panthers, 25-3, in their 2021 clash.
Tipico Sportsbook currently favors Baker Mayfield’s Panthers in their Week 1 opener against the Browns.
Will the Carolina Panthers get off to a winning start here in 2022? Well, the current odds are in their favor.
As of Tuesday morning, five days before kickoff, our friends over at Tipico Sportsbook have quarterback Baker Mayfield and his Panthers as the favorite against the visiting Cleveland Browns. The spread for the Week 1 matchup is, however, sitting at a snug 2.5 points.
Between the two teams, Cleveland comes in as the superior product from the 2021 campaign—a roller coaster of a year in which they went 8-9. They won’t, however, be heading into Bank of America Stadium on Sunday at full force, as Jacoby Brissett is set to take the start under center for a suspended Deshaun Watson.
Carolina, on the other hand, enters play off a 5-12 mark from a season ago while riding a seven-game losing streak. Mayfield, the franchise’s third different Week 1 quarterback in as many years, will try to snap that skid in facing the team that just dumped him off two months ago.
Tipico, additionally, has set the moneyline at -135 for the Panthers and +115 for the Browns with an over/under of 41.5 total points.
Is this the week Cameron Young can break through for his first win?
The 2022 FedEx Cup playoffs are officially on the horizon as players are down to their last two opportunities to earn their way into the postseason.
This week, the PGA Tour is in Detroit for the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club, a track designed by Donald Ross.
After a star-less event at the 3M Open, the RMC features some of the Tour’s best talent.
Patrick Cantlay is the betting favorite at +1000 with last week’s winner, Tony Finau, and Will Zalatoris next in line at +1500. Coming off a T-16 at the 3M, defending champion Cam Davis sits at +3000 to repeat.

After having Cam Smith at The Open, let’s get another winner.
We’re pretty sure the world of golf is going to be feeling a hangover-type come down from the festivities at the 150th Open. Our reward for pushing through the long weekend?
The 3M Open.
Tony Finau, coming off a T-28 at the Old Course, is the betting favorite at +1200. Hideki Matsuyama and Sungjae Im are next at +1500. Chez Reavie won the opposite field event last week at the Barracuda Championship and sits at +3000.
TPC Twin Cities is a par-71 layout that will measure 7,431 yards this week.
There aren’t many star-level names in this field, so we’ll have to find some value farther down the board.

Rory? Tiger? Spieth? There are plenty of targets for the Open this week.
With respect to the Masters and Augusta National Golf Club, when the Open Championship is held at the Old Course, it’s impossible to beat.
The best players in the world have arrived at the Home of Golf, including Tiger Woods, who is making his first start since the PGA Championship where he withdrew after the third round.
Rory McIlroy, who has finished in the top 10 in all three majors this season, is the betting favorite at +900. He wasn’t in the field the last time the Open has held at St. Andrews (2015) but did play in 2010 where he tied for third after an opening-round 63 (he’d shoot 80 in round two).

With two top 10s in the last three years, can Justin Thomas finally win at the Renaissance?
A week before the final major of 2022, a major championship-type field has traveled to the Renaissance Club for the Genesis Scottish Open.
Fourteen of the world’s top 15 players are expected to tee it up Thursday, with the lone missing name being No. 3 Rory McIlroy (who played in this week’s JP McManus Pro-Am at Adare Manor).
Last year’s champion Min Woo Lee, who made the Scottish Open his second DP World Tour win, tied for 27th in his last PGA Tour start (U.S. Open at The Country Club).
The par-3 17th hole is a welcome respite before the difficult 18th hole that plays at 485 yards and likely into the prevailing wind at Renaissance Club.

In a star-less field, who can take advantage of the opportunity?
Before the best players in the world head across the pond for a few weeks of links golf, a field of PGA Tour pros is in Silvis, Illinois, for the John Deere Classic.
Webb Simpson, who’s coming off a tie for 13th at the Travelers Championship, enters the week as the betting favorite at +1300. Adam Hadwin follows him at +1500 while Sahith Theegala, who suffered heartbreak once again, this time in Cromwell, Connecticut, sits at +2000.
Lucas Glover is the defending champion and enters with four straight made cuts, including a T-23 at the PGA Championship.
Let’s take a look at some names to target this week.

Key statistics
Birdies. Players need to make a lot of birdies if they want a shot at contending. The average winning score over the last five playings of the JDC is 21.4 under. So, let’s target players with great par 4 scoring averages and proximity to the hole.

Betting odds, field notes and more for this week’s PGA Tour stop.
A few days after Matt Fitzpatrick’s stellar U.S. Open win at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, the players have traveled just down the road to TPC River Highlands for the Travelers Championship.
And the field is loaded.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and world No. 2 Rory McIlroy are in Hartford, Connecticut. In total, five of the world’s top-10 players will be teeing it up this week.
As it stands now, Brooks Koepka is also in the field. However, it was reported Tuesday morning that the four-time major champion is leaving the PGA Tour for LIV Golf. We’ll have to wait and see if he actually plays on the U.S. circuit this week.

Key statistics
Even though this is a short golf course, distance isn’t king around here. A variety of different styles can win at River Highlands, just look at the last three winners: Harris English, Dustin Johnson and Chez Reavie. With that being said, driving accuracy will be key this week as the rough is long and very penal. The winning score will be somewhere in the mid to high teens, so running into a hot putter will be important, as well.

Can Matt Rhule go from the dog house to the penthouse in 2022? Welp, we wouldn’t bet on it. But with these odds (and a lot of magic) maybe you should.
After driving his team to seven straight losses in closing out an embarrassing 2021 campaign, Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule might’ve pulled off one heck of a magic trick to keep his job. So, can he pull off another?
Provided by our friends over at Tipico Sportsbook, here are the current odds for the 2022 AP Coach of the Year honors.
Can the 2019 Open champion finally grab another PGA Tour win?
The excitement, the golf course, the atmosphere — everything about the Masters is impossible to live up to, or in this case, follow up.
With the help of a surprisingly loaded field the week after a major championship, the RBC Heritage is next up on the PGA Tour schedule.
Fresh off a top-10 at Augusta National, Justin Thomas is the betting favorite at Harbour Town (+1200). In his second start back from the COVID-19 break in 2020, Thomas tied for 8th in Hilton Head.
Last season, Stewart Cink used Thursday and Friday 63s to end the week victorious. The defending champion is in the field but enters the tournament missing three weekends in his last four starts (T-7 at the Valspar was his lone Sunday finish).

Key statistics
Driving accuracy
Harbour Town, for much of the layout, is the definition of tree-lined. It’s not about overpowering the golf course, it’s about playing the right shot at the right time — and that starts with hitting the fairway.
Strokes Gained: Around the Green
The greens are small and contoured. It’s inevitable that the field will have to get up and down around this track and they’ll have to do it efficiently if they want a chance to win.
