Panthers Odds and Betting Trends

Bet on Carolina Panthers

Historically speaking, wins came quickly to the Carolina Panthers, and the team may be considered one of the NFL’s greatest expansion franchises. Of all teams born in 1976 or later, only the Seattle Seahawks have a better cumulative winning percentage – NFLbets is not including the Baltimore Ravens, not a true expansion team that was instead “born” with a complete roster and history. Going into the 2018 season, the Panthers’ cumulative record was an impressive 182-183-1 – just a half-game under .500. Unfortunately, since then…

Debuting in 1995, the Panthers hired then-Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator Dom Capers as head coach the team, which managed a record-setting 7-9 inaugural season and a run to the NFC championship game after going 12-4 in ’96. In two subsequent years, Capers could not get Carolina back into the postseason, bust his success piloting the Panthers certainly directly led to his hiring by the expansion Houston Texans in 2002.

The George Seifert Era lasted three years, culminated in the aforementioned 2001 season featuring Chris Weinke at quarterback “leading” the team to a 1-15 record, and is best forgotten.

John Fox took over on the sidelines for the Panthers in 2002 and enjoyed some success over the next nine seasons, thrice making the playoffs and playing in the very odd and endlessly fascinating Super Bowl XXXVIII. However, Fox’s teams often produced mediocre results in seasons with tougher schedules – five teams Fox Panthers were 7-9 or 8-8 – and the team bottomed out at 2-14 in ’10.

When Ron Rivera became head coach for 2011, the team was transformed across the board. Throughout the 10s, mercurial and thrilling QB Cam Newton had led dangerous offenses with names like Johnathan Stewart, DeAngelo Williams, Steve Smith and Greg Olsen while Luke Kuechly has crushed it for the defense. The peak of Rivera’s run – and that of the Carolina Panthers franchise itself – remains the 15-1 season of ’15 which led to an unfortunate SU/ATS demolishment by a brilliant Denver Broncos defense in Super Bowl 50.

The Panthers may have lost in both their Super Bowl appearances but through their history have proven to be lucrative indeed for NFL bettors. Despite the many guises they’ve won, Carolina is an impressive 9-8 SU/11-6 ATS in the playoffs historically.

Summary

Throughout their relatively brief history, the Carolina Panthers are one of the NFL’s most successful franchise – and usually a pretty good bet on Sundays. If and when the Panthers are next in the playoffs again, NFLbets would say bet as favorites or underdogs in any round of the playoffs: Carolina is 9-8 SU/11-6 ATS in the postseason, including 4-2 SU/ATS when favored…
