will be walking into the 4-1 Miami Dolphins (-14) home stadium as +14 underdogs according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Only the New York Giants (+15) (+15) face longer odds against the Buffalo Bills (-15). As the sole winless franchise and in possession of perhaps the least fired-up fanbase in the league this season, there is only one thing that really, reasonably matters for this team this week—and, hot take, it’s not winning.
It would be winning if that felt even remotely possible. But you can say “any given Sunday” like you’re expecting Beetlejuice or Bloody Mary to pop out of your TV screens, it’s not going to change the fact that the Panthers only win on Sunday if the Dolphins think the game is in Charlotte.
