The Dallas Cowboys (5-8) meet the Carolina Panthers (3-10) for a Week 15 matchup Sunday at Bank of America Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Cowboys vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Cowboys were tripped up 27-20 against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football last week. Dallas was tied 20-20, with a chance to get the ball back. However, on a blocked punt, a returner misplayed the ball, touching it, and giving the Bengals the ball back. QB Joe Burrow connected with WR Ja’Marr Chase to make them pay with 61 seconds left in regulation for the winning score.
The Panthers lost 22-16 at Philadelphia last week, but they gave the Eagles all they could handle. It was their fifth consecutive game decided by a single score, with 2 victories in the span. Carolina has covered each of the past 5 games, too. The Over is on a 4-2 run in the past 6 games.

Cowboys at Panthers picks and predictions
Prediction
Cowboys 26, Panthers 22
Moneyline
The COWBOYS (+125) are an underdog, which is a bit shocking. Yes, they have some injuries on the defensive side of the ball, and they’re coming off a very disappointing loss to Cincinnati.
However, Dallas also has explosive WR CeeDee Lamb and RB Rico Dowdle, who is coming off back-to-back 100-yard games, including a career-high 131 yards against the Bengals. Dowdle also played his college ball at nearby South Carolina, and he is an Asheville, N.C., native. He should have an extra gear in his first start back in his home state against a Carolina rush defense which is the worst in the NFL, allowing 170.1 yards per game.
Against the spread
PASS.
Cowboys +3 (-115) doesn’t make sense if you like Dallas, unless you’re convinced the Panthers -3 (-105) are going to win, but only by 1 or 2 points.
If you like Dallas, just bet it straight up.
Over/Under
OVER 42.5 (-110) might be the best play on the board.
While the Under cashed on MNF against the Bengals, the total has gone high in 3 of the past 4 games for the Cowboys. The Over is 2-1 in the past 3 games on the road, too.
For the Panthers, they’ve cashed high in 2 of the past 3, and 8 of the previous 11 outings. The offense has been much better lately, going for 20 or more points in 4 of the past 5 outings, while allowing 22 or more points in all but one game this season.
