are on the road for the penultimate game of the 2021 season for a Week 17 matchup with the New Orleans Saints (-6.5), and the Panthers are expected to lose to a superior team as the line from DraftKings Sportsbook still has the Panthers as 6.5-point underdogs to New Orleans. The over/under is currently set at 39 points.
The point spread hasn’t moved from the opening line, which also saw the Panthers as 6.5-point underdogs with a 40 point over/under total, but the over/under has shifted slightly to 39 points. It’s not really surprising to me that the Panthers are the underdogs in this one, but to be honest I’m a little surprised the line hasn’t moved after the news broke that the Panthers have put multiple key players on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
