Panthers vs. Stars picks and predictions
Prediction
Stars 31, Panthers 23
Money line
PASS.
The Panthers have played games close but have only 1 win all season. The Stars already beat the Panthers once this season and have scored 35 points in each of their last two games.
However, at -240, betting the money line on the Stars just isn’t worth it as a single bet. PASS.
Against the spread
The Panthers have lost by fewer than 5 points only twice this season.
Of the Stars’ 4 wins this season, 3 have been by at least 7 points. The only win in which they did not do so by at least a touchdown was their 1-point victory over the Panthers.
Take the STARS -4 (-110).
Over/Under
The Stars have put up 35 points in each of the last 2 games. Four of their 7 have had more than 47 points and another had exactly 47.
The Panthers’ last 2 games and 3 of their last 4 have had more than 47 points. The other of the 4 games had exactly 47 points.
In their first matchup, the Stars and Panthers combined for 51 points.
Take OVER 47 (-107).
