Carolina travel to New England in week fourteen of the NFL season desperately needing a win to rekindle any hopes they may still have of making the playoffs. Last week they beat the Bucs 16-6 but that win only improved them to 5-7 and they will need to run the table to try to squeeze into a wild-card spot. New England have also had a disappointing season, especially by their standards, and fell to 7-5 after losing 22-21 to Miami last week.
The Patriots are heavy favourites going into the game on the money line at -600 (bet $600 to win $100 profit), leaving Carolina as underdogs at +600 (bet $100 to win $600 profit). Betting on the money line so far has slightly favoured the Panthers, with 68% of money backing an upset win for the visitors.
The points spread for the game has been set at thirteen points, making the Patriots favourites at -13 points and giving the Panthers a handicap of +13 points, Betting against the spread so far has also been in Carolina’s favour, with 58% of action backing the visitors to beat the spot today. Last time the sides met was way back in 2005 but the Panthers came out on top then, beating New England 27-17.
The Over/Under for the game is set at 43.5 points and betting so far has seen 74% of money backing the Over. New England have been good at scoring this season but have also been giving up a lot of points recently, particularly in their defeats to Indianapolis and New Orleans.
New England are fifth favourites for the Super Bowl this season, priced at 12/1. Carolina are not given a realistic hope of glory this year and where odds are available they are as long as 500/1.
