How many games will the Carolina Panthers win in the 2020 NFL season? We look at BetMGM‘s projected win total and the Over/Under odds, while looking back at the 2019 season and key offseason roster changes.
Carolina Panthers’ 2019 season
Carolina struggled to a 5-11 record in 2019, dealing with the absence of QB Cam Newton. They were only slightly better against the spread, finishing 6-9-1 ATS. They were 11-5 O/U.
Carolina Panthers’ 2020 offseason changes
The Panthers overhauled their coaching staff, hiring former Baylor head coach Matt Rhule from the college ranks. They got rid of both their top quarterbacks, releasing Cam Newton and trading Kyle Allen. They signed Teddy Bridgewater to be the starter and added receiver Robby Anderson. They also drafted defensive tackle Derrick Brown in the first round of the draft.

Carolina Panthers’ 2020 win total: Best bet
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Odds last updated Tuesday, Aug. 4 at 8:30 a.m. ET.
Projected wins: 5.5 / OVER: -120 / UNDER: +100
Not much is expected from the Panthers this season with an overhauled roster, a head coach without NFL head coaching experience and a strange offseason with the COVID-19 pandemic. They will most certainly be the last-place team in a tough NFC South. All-world running back Christian McCaffrey could give them one game in the division. They also have winnable games against Washington, the Chicago Bears and perhaps the Detroit Lions. Their games against the Arizona Cardinals, Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos are toss-ups, and the rest look unwinnable. This team will be lucky to win five games this year. Take the UNDER +100.

Exact season wins – bands
0-4 wins: +210
5-8 wins: -250
9-12 wins: +1200
13-16 wins: +8000
The favorite for the Panthers in bands of wins is 5-8, but that will pay out very little. Five seems to be their realistic ceiling. Between the value of the bet and the very likely possibility the Panthers will be bad, the BEST BET here is 0-4 WINS +210.
Exact wins: Best bet
If you are looking to bet on an exact total, five wins is the favorite at +265. Based on their schedule, your best bets are 4 WINS (+375) or 5 WINS (+265).
