Panthers vs Cardinals: Opening odds

The 0-1 Carolina Panthers open as underdogs against the 1-0 Arizona Cardinals. Arizona is fresh off of beating the New Orleans Saints by one touchdown in a 20-13 Week 1 win, while the Panthers are coming from whatever it is they claim to have been doing down in Jacksonville last week.

The odds are not kind to the Panthers and they should not be expected to be. They will be underdogs in every game this season, save perhaps against the Miami Dolphins, until they pull multiple and consecutive upsets.

Week 2​

Spread​

Panthers: +6.5 (-105)

Cardinals: -6.5 (-115)

O/U​

44.5 (-115/-105)

Moneyline​

Panthers: +250

Cardinals: -310

Remember that home-field advantage is traditionally accounted for by spotting the home team—Arizona, in this case—three points on the spread. That means Kyler Murray and company would still be favored by at least a field goal on a neutral field.

I will say that seems like a wide margin to favor the Cardinals by given their narrow win over a Saints team that is still expected to be worse than the Panthers in the long run. Of course, Bryce Young and his offense did little to support that expectation yesterday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, so maybe this is right on the money.

The above odds were current as of the writing of this post. You can take a look at—and place a bet on—live odds for this game and more here at FanDuel Sportsbook.

Brian Asks: Bring your questions after a horrific week 1

Hello CSR! Welcome to Brian Asks, your weekly Panthers fan mailbag for everyone! Many of our questions last week centered around how the result of week 1 would impact the Panthers season. We tried to be optimistic, but unfortunately the Panthers followed suit from the last 7 or so seasons and really got their butts kicked in week 1, prompting many strong reactions. As someone who has been with this website for well over 10 years now, I totally understand the frustration, and hopefully this little weekly forum we’ve been cultivating since last year will give you a place to discuss your feelings and thoughts on the direction of this team.

As a reminder, this is the place where you can ask all your questions, whether they be Panthers related, football related, or even completely off topic! All you have to do is comment down below with your questions and/or general comments, and I’ll answer your questions and highlight my favorite responses later on in the week in part 2; Brian Answers. So comment down below, and hopefully we can have a more positive discussion next week. Above all else, KEEP POUNDING!
