Favorite futures for 2023
Panthers under 7.5 wins (+100)
It’s not a big bet, but I’m on under 7.5 wins here. This number is a bit inflated due to Carolina’s soft competition within the NFC South as well as the Panthers’ above-average defense. But let’s not forget that the Panthers still have a rookie quarterback who is undersized with a below-average supporting cast. Keep the following in mind: Since 2000, rookie signal-callers drafted within the top five selections who have started at least eight games saw their teams wins just 39% of their contests. That’s not a good sign for bettors on the over. — Joe Fortenbaugh
*Record against the “Over” line set for the game. Both teams are credited with a win if the game went over, a loss if under, and a tie if pushed.
