Showboats at Panthers picks and predictions
Prediction
Panthers 34, Showboats 23
Moneyline
The Showboats have been bad defensively. They have allowed 32 points in their last 5 games including 47 last week.
The Panthers have scored at least 28 in 3 of their wins.
This doesn’t feel like it is going to be very close, but there is no need to bet Michigan at -450.
PASS.
Against the spread
The Panthers have won by double digits in 3 of their 5 victories.
The last 5 losses for the Showboats have been by at least 15 points. Now, giving up so many points in recent weeks, are playing a team that has scored over 30 twice, this will get ugly.
BET PANTHERS -8.5 (-115).

Over/Under
The Showboats’ last 4 games have all surpassed 47 total points.
In 3 of the Panthers’ last 4 wins, they allowed 18 or more points.
With the Panthers likely to score at least in the 30s, The Showboats just need to approach 20 points, which they have surpassed the last 2 weeks.
BET OVER 47.5 (-110).
