Panthers vs Washington Week 16 Betting on the Game
Washington has been held to 23 points or less in each of their last three games but has not allowed more than 20 points defensively during the span.
Moneyline
Washington has gone 4-15 SU in its last 19 home games, but Carolina has dropped eight of its last nine games while going 2-10 SU in its last dozen road dates. If Alex Smith is back under center, Washington will have a great chance to take care of business. If not, Carolina could get the win they’ve been denied while losing each of their last three games by one score.
Point Spread
Despite their struggles to win outright, the Panthers are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 road games and 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games as an underdog. Washington is the hottest ATS team in the league right now, having gone 5-0 ATS over their last five games. Washington has gone 5-2 ATS in its last seven games against their NFC conference rivals and an identical 5-2 ATS in their last seven home games.
Over/Under
The Over is 17-8 in Carolina’s last 25 games following an ATS win and 25-12 in the Panthers’ last 37 games as a road underdog. The Under is 5-0 in Washington’s last five home games and 8-2 in Washington’s last 10 games overall. This NFL Week 16 matchup has the look of a low-scoring affair just waiting to happen.
