Dallas Cowboys vs Carolina Panthers Betting Preview

It was quite the blowout the last time these two teams played. The road Cowboys won by double digits, defeating the Panthers 33-10 in Week 11 of 2023. They say, good teams win, but great teams cover. The Cowboys not only won, but covered the -11.0 spread that game. The Game Total for that game was 43.5 and which the Under hit.

Carolina's primary disadvantage has been their defense, which has allowed a monstrous 417 yards per game this year, sliding them into the #1 spot among the league's worst. Much of their struggle has come in trying to shut down the run game, as they've allowed opposing ball-carriers to rush for the #1-most yards per carry: 5.52. That kind of ineffectiveness has also leached over to their pass defense, which has landed them in the #28 spot in terms of yards per target (8.25). Panthers linebackers are perhaps most responsible for their dismal run defense this year, given that they grade out as the #1-worst unit in the NFL. When it comes to their offense, the Panthers check in at #26 in football when it comes to total yards per game. Their passing game has compiled 206 yards per game (#28 in football). Their run game has ranked #13 with 4.32 yards per attempt on the ground.

Dallas's biggest weakness has been their defense, ranking #28 in the league while allowing 388 yards per game. Much of their struggle has come in trying to shut down the run game, as they've allowed opposing ball-carriers to rush for the #4-most yards per carry: 5.15. That's not to give any unnecessary credit to their pass defense, though, which checks in at #2-worst in yards per target (8.6). The Cowboys defensive tackles have played a big part in their inability to stop the run, ranking #8-worst in the NFL by this measure. In terms of their offense, the Cowboys have ranked #20 in the league in total yards per game. They've passed for 241 yards per game (#15 in football). On the ground they've ranked #25 with 3.85 yards per carry.
