NFL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Panthers vs. Titans
Panthers vs. Titans
The Panthers and Titans have both lost four of their last five games. But analytically, the Panthers are still much worse. Bryce Young will need some time to develop in Carolina. He's thrown nine touchdown passes but has eight interceptions on the season. Meanwhile, the Panthers don't have any running back over 500 yards this season between Chubba Hubbard and Miles Sanders. Adam Thielen has played well and is Carolina’s No. 1 receiver. That's just typically not going to get the job done. The Titans don't have the best secondary. But the pass rush should at least create some kind of havoc for Tennessee. While Carolina's pass defense is a bit better, the Panthers struggle to tackle. They're also weak against the run. Derrick Henry hasn't had a huge season for the Titans. But Tennessee should consider feeding Henry the ball as much as possible in this game. If the Titans rely on Henry to win them the game, they'll leave with their fourth win of the season. Take the Titans at -3.5.
Pick: Titans -3.5 (-110)
What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
