Panthers vs. Maulers picks and predictions
Prediction
Panthers 21, Maulers 13
Money line
The Panthers shut out the Maulers 24-0 in Week 3 for their only win of the season.
The Maulers’ only win was a 21-20 win over the 2-win Houston Gamblers in Week 5.
The Maulers average the fewest points in the league, 14.0 points per game, while the Panthers average 19.7 points per contest.
Take the PANTHERS (-160).
Against the spread
The Panthers’ lone victory was a 24-point shutout over the Maulers.
Seven of the Maulers’ 8 losses were by at least a touchdown.
The Maulers have the better ATS record at 4-5 ATS, compared to the Panthers’ 3-6 ATS mark, but considering the previous game between the two teams and the small spread, take the PANTHERS -3 (-110).
Over/Under
The Maulers have scored 16 points or fewer 6 times this season. The total points scored have been 42 or fewer in 7 of their 9 games.
However, the Panthers’ last 6 games all have had more than 42 points.
The first game between the two teams had only 24 points and the Maulers have the league’s worst offense.
Take UNDER 42.5 (-112).
