Why are the 10-0 Carolina Panthers being disrespected this week?

Carolina is undefeated at 10-0, yet the Vegas odds have the Cowboys favored to win tomorrow.

How is a 10-0 team the underdog to a 3-7 team?

Because the Cowboys are the most bet on team by the public in the NFL.

And now that Romo is back and they won last week, odddmakers know that the public will flock to put money on Dallas again, like they always do.

So they make a line that will theoretically get 50% of the money on Carolina.

You do understand that lines are created and set based on public perception rather than reality, right?

Anyways, I see what this thread is. Obvious "lowkey" attempt at hyping Carolina some more and throwing shade at Dallas. Whether you agree with it or not, Dallas -1 is about right in terms of splitting the public money 50-50. It's thanksgiving. People are going to bet on Dallas in droves.

Yes, I do.
And how many times have the Patriots been the underdog in Vegas this year?

Of course the ATL
Mediocre QB/offense with a great defense playing on the road in a short week against a Romo led Cowboys team desperate for a win. Outside of Panthers fans, who is really scared of Carolina? They're a good team, but are they great? Nah, Boys should be favored TBH

Dallas, Green Bay, Pittsburg/New England. That's the order of most bet on NFL teams by the public.


So ask yourself again, what game exactly should NE have been underdogs so far on their schedule?

Your realize NE was only -10 or so to fukking Washington just a couple weeks ago, yes? We all knew they would win by 3 scores, but it was only 10 so that they could get some money on Washington.


It's really not that hard. :lolwtf:

I think the public will flock to Carolina even with a healthy romo. These degens don't wanna leave the party till they get kicked out and Carolina starts losing

That's the point.
NE is never the underdog.
Carolina is unbeaten facing a bad Cowboys team. Why are they not favored?

Do you not understand that the same logic about balancing the bets applies to all teams, yet certain teams are always listed as favorites?

It's the reason why Green Bay was -3 favorite over Pittsburgh in the 2011 Super Bowl.

Because even tho Pittsburgh has won 2 SBs in the past 5 years, odddmakers knew GB was the 2nd most bet upon team (after Dallas) and the line reflected that in an attempt to get money on both sides equally.


Has nothing to do with Vegas thinking GB was going to win, but rather they expected the PUBLIC to come out and put money on GB no matter what so they gave the Steelers points.


A 10-6 Cowboys team in the Super Bowl would almost assuredly be favorites if they were to play a 13-3 Patriots team. Not because Dallas is better or should win, but because of public perception and how the masses will throw their money around.
