The Carolina Panthers are making a move for their future. They traded two firsts, two seconds, and WR DJ Moore to the Bears for the first overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft. Carolina used that pick on potential franchise QB Bryce Young out of Alabama. Carolina likely isn’t done making big moves. Carolina Panthers odds to win the Super Bowl range from +5000 to +7500.
Below, you can find Carolina Panthers odds for the NFL playoffs. Included is a weekly outlook, odds for every game this season, futures, and more.

Panthers betting futures are also available to bet on now. See the best prices below.
Carolina is signing former Saints quarterback Andy Dalton to a two-year, $11 million contract with $8 million guaranteed, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported.
With this move, the Panthers have found a veteran leader for their quarterback room. Carolina almost certainly has its sights set on a quarterback of the future thanks to a trade with the Bears that netted it the No. 1 pick in the upcoming draft. In 14 games as New Orleans' starter in 2022, Dalton threw for 2,871 yards, 18 touchdowns, and nine interceptions with a 6-8 record.
The Panthers are signing former Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen to a three-year, $25 million deal with $10 million in the first year, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported on Sunday.
Minnesota released Thielen on March 10 after nine seasons with the team. Carolina's decision to sign a player like Thielen would indicate that the veteran wide receiver could be a safety blanket for a rookie signal-caller they may ultimately draft. In 2022, Thielen produced 70 receptions for 716 yards and six touchdowns.
The Carolina Panthers have agreed to terms with former Eagles running back Miles Sanders on a four-year, $25.4 million contract with $13 million guaranteed, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported.
Sanders rushed for 750-plus yards in each of his first three seasons. With Sanders in town, he’s likely to take the lead running back duties as head coach Frank Reich and running backs coach Duce Staley were in Philadelphia when Sanders was drafted and played a significant role in luring him to Carolina.

The Panthers play as three-point home favorites against the Steelers in Week 15. The over/under is set at 37.5.
Carolina has now rushed for at least 185 rushing yards in their last two games and faces a Steelers defense that has allowed an average of 157.7 rushing yards over its last three games (No. 26 in the NFL). Carolina has also stayed dominant on defense, giving up 5.3 yards per play (No. 12 in NFL).

This would mean Carolina is turning to their third starting quarterback of the season. After arriving in a trade with the Jets, Darnold started 11 games for the Panthers last season. He opened this season on injured reserve and hasn’t played this year. Now he’ll get an opportunity to show what he can do as the season winds down and he heads into free agency in 2023.

How to bet on the Carolina Panthers
Moneyline
The moneyline is the simplest of bets, decided by the straight-up winner and loser of each game. Consider the following example:
- Ravens -185
- Panthers +310
The Panthers are heavy underdogs in this matchup, paying out $410 total for a $100 bet ($310 in winnings). The Ravens are the favorites in this matchup (indicated by -185), requiring a $185 bet to win $100 (plus the initial bet back). How much either team wins or loses by does not matter in moneyline betting, the payout remains the same.
Point spread
Betting on the point spread is determinant on how many points a team wins or loses by. Take the following example:
- Panthers -3.5 (-110)
- Washington +3.5 (-110)
In this example, Carolina is favored by 3.5 points, indicated by “-3.5.” If the Panthers win the game 24-20, the Panthers (-3.5) win the bet and would have a total payout of $19.09 on a $10 bet ($9.09 in profit). If the Washington keep the game within four and lose 23-17, Washington (+3.5) would win, and the payout would be the same as listed above.
Point total (over/under)
The point total refers to the over/under line set by books. This number projects the total number of points scored in a game and, like prop betting, is bet whether one thinks the score will go over or under the set point total. For example, the Panthers’ Week 8 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons had a projected point total of 44.5 points. The Panthers lost that game 25-17, resulting in 42 total points. Those that bet under the point total would have cashed out.
In-play and live betting
Sometimes, the most thrilling and rewarding bets are bets made while games are being played. These are referred to as live bets or in-play bets. Odds are ever-changing during games, which would prove to be fruitful for sharp and prepared bettors. For example, if the Panthers (-110) were heavily favored against the Jets (+190) before kickoff, a payout on a $10 bet on Carolina to win would win $9.09.
However, say the Panthers fell to a big 21-3 deficit in the first half despite controlling the overall game (due to costly turnovers or a special teams gaffe). Odds may swing in favor of the Jets, who may be a -110 favorite at halftime. Taking the Panthers to come back and win the game could present plus-odds (say, +155). Should a bettor take Carolina (+155) at halftime and the Panthers pull off the comeback, winners would win $15.50 instead of $9.09 (plus the initial $10 bet).
This could also be an effective way to “hedge” your bet; say a bettor took the Jets (+190) in that game, but Carolina jumps out to a 14-0 first quarter lead and is controlling the overall feel of the game, bettors could hedge by throwing some money down on Carolina (-190) to return some of the inevitably-lost bet.
Parlays and teasers
You can always string bets together in the form of parlays or teasers. Usually during busy Sundays, bettors can parlay several teams to win or cover against the spread and if all bets are successful, the payouts are multiplied. Teasers function similarly, except they allow bettors to move each point spread to a more favorable line in exchange for diminished odds.
Futures
Futures are long-term bets that can range from an offseason to a full season (or beyond). Team win totals, award winners, and player performance are common futures.
