Carolina Panthers

Will Panthers beat the Cardinals to win 2 in a row? Here’s what oddsmakers are saying

The Panthers ended a 10-game losing streak in California on Sunday, beating the Los Angeles Chargers 21-16.

The Panthers were six-point underdogs against the Chargers, playing without Christian McCaffrey.

Carolina (1-2) comes home to Bank of America Stadium for Week 4 and will host the Arizona Cardinals. (In front of fans!) Arizona (2-1) beat the 49ers, 24-20, in Week 1 and topped Washington, 30-15, in Week 2. Sunday, the Cardinals lost, 26-23, to Detroit, which got its first win of the season.

So who do the oddsmakers like Sunday?

Most are going with the Cardinals, who opened as a 3.5-point favorite over the Panthers and, according to the Vegas Insiders consensus, are 4-point favorites as of lunchtime Monday.

DraftKings likes the Cardinals by four. The William Hill SportsBook says Cardinals by 3.5. SportsBettingDime likes Cardinals by 4.5. And four other Las Vegas oddsmakers like the Cardinals by 3.5 to four points.

The Panthers haven’t been favored in a game all season.
