The Washington Football Team (3-6) visit the Carolina Panthers (5-5) on Sunday for a Week 11 game at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Washington vs. Panthers odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.
Washington is coming off its most impressive showing of the season, a 29-19 win over the defending Super Bowl-champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week. That snapped an 0-4 SU/ATS run. The Under is 4-0 in the past four for WFT.
The Panthers won 34-10 at Arizona last week as seven-point underdogs, and Carolina is now 2-1 SU/ATS across the past three. QB Cam Newton will make the start, taking over for QB P.J. Walker, who started last week in place of the injured QB Sam Darnold (scapula).

Washington at Panthers odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Panthers 24, Washington 19
Money line
PANTHERS (-180) is not terribly out of line if you just want to back Newton and the home team without worrying about laying the points.
Against the spread
The PANTHERS -3.5 (-103) welcome Newton back under center, and welcome former head coach Ron Rivera to town. There are all kinds of interesting storylines in this game, and Washington +3.5 (-117) is riding high after an upset of the Bucs last week, too.
I think the crowd is going to be electric in Charlotte with Cam making his first start with the team since re-signing, and they’ll hold off Washington. Three-and-a-hook is not a great spread, so play it lightly. I actually like the money line much better in what should be a close game.
Over/Under
The OVER 42.5 (-117) is the lean, ever so slightly. The Panthers offense is averaging just 20.5 PPG, ranking 21st in the NFL this season. And the defense is yielding just 19.3 PPG, which is sixth in the NFL. This defense is nasty, and will give QB Taylor Heinicke and the Washington offense trouble. But Cam and the Panthers should be able to do enough, and WFT likely will score late to inch this one over the finish line.
