Best Bet of the Day – Bengals vs. Panthers
Our best bet wager between Cincinnati and Carolina will target the Over on Panthers QB Andy Dalton’s passing prop, currently set at 226.5.
The game total for this one currently sits at 47, meaning professional oddsmakers and sportsbooks are anticipating a high-scoring matchup between two inter-conference opponents on Sunday afternoon.
After Bryce Young was benched in Week 2, Dave Canales and the Panthers turned to Dalton last week, and the move paid instant dividends. The 36-year-old veteran was terrific in Week 3, leading his team to a convincing 36-22 road victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.
From a statistical perspective, Dalton completed 26 of 38 passes (68.4%), to go along with 319 passing yards, three touchdowns, zero interceptions, and a fantastic 120.4 passer rating.
On Sunday, the Panthers will be up against a Bengals defense that has struggled mightily thus far in 2024 ranking 26th in football in Opponents’ Average Time of Possession (31:53), 30th in Opponents’ Completion Percentage (75.1%), and 23rd in Opponents’ Yards per Pass Attempt (7.0), via NFL Team Rankings.
In addition, under offensive coordinator Brad Idzik, the Panthers have also shifted to a more pass-heavy offense, ranking 11th in the NFL in Pass Rate (63%), meaning Dalton should get plenty of opportunities through the air against a porous Bengals D-core.
Look for Dalton to surpass his pass prop at an intriguing (-110) price point.
