Patriots vs. Panthers betting preview
Odds: Patriots -5.5, over/under 43
The Panthers have been on a bit of a tear, scoring 49 unanswered points since trailing the Arizona Cardinals 27-3 in the third quarter of Week 2. Bryce Young went without a touchdown pass against Atlanta but ran in his own touchdown to open up scoring and didn’t turn the ball over once. Chau Smith-Wade turned a Michael Penix Jr. pass into a pick six in Week 3, and the Panthers’ defense will push to pressure a Patriots offense that turned the ball over five times against Pittsburgh.
The Patriots are in an unusual situation being 0-2 at home to start the season, but winning in Miami against the Dolphins for the first time since 2019. Mistakes played a massive role for New England in Week 3, even as Maye threw for 268 yards and had two touchdowns. New England’s defense has been average, ranking 17th in the NFL in yards allowed per game (316.7) and hitting the Under in two games this season.
