The Cowboys are so bad that even the Panthers are favorites against them.
If you ever needed a reminder of how badly things have gone for the Dallas Cowboys in 2024: This is it. In Week 15 the Cowboys travel to Charlotte to face the Panthers, and for the first time in TWO YEARS Carolina is favored in a game.
The vast majority of sportsbooks have the edge going to the Panthers this week, both in the spread and the moneyline.
Fanduel: Panthers -2.5 spread, -152 moneyline
DraftKings: Panthers -2.5 spread, -110 moneyline
ESPNBET: Panthers -2.5 spread, -120 moneyline
BetMGM: Panthers -2.5 spread, -110 moneyline
Caesar’s Sportsbook: Panthers -2.5 spread, -135 moneyline
The marks the first time since December 18, 2022 that the Panthers have been favored in a game, period. In that contest they were three-point favorites to the Steelers at home, and wouldn’t promptly go on to lose 24-16.
A lot of the hype around Carolina right now centers on Bryce Young. Benching the second-year quarterback has turned him into a different player. Young is playing the best football of his NFL career despite having a receiving corps that’s still a work in progress and dropping a lot of passes.
At the very least the Panthers are playing good teams close, losing their last three games by an average of 4 points to the likes of Kansas City, Tampa Bay, and Philadelphia. There’s a very real reason why Carolina is the favorite here — and it underscores how far the Cowboys have tumbled.
