The Panthers go into Week 16 in the middle of another long and agonizing losing streak. The experts are not expecting it to end on Sunday, either. According to BetMGM, the Panthers are 7.5-point underdogs on the road against the Colts this week.
Indianapolis just got lit up by the Saints on Monday Night Football, allowing Drew Brees to complete 29 of 30 passes and throw four touchdowns en route to a 34-7 blowout. The Colts have now lost four games in a row and six of their last seven. While they don’t look particularly tough, Carolina likely has to prove they can beat another team before the odds will be in their favor again.
One positive is that history has been kind to the Panthers in this matchup. They have won five of six meetings against the Colts, including an overtime win back in 2015.
