Panthers vs Browns NFL Week 14 Odds & Game Preview

Why Carolina Panthers are a good bet -1.5?

Carolina has lost 4 straight, but 3-of-4 losses were on the road versus good teams: 21-52 at Pittsburgh, 19-20 at Detroit, and 17-24 at Tampa Bay. Even the loss to Tampa makes sense because the Buccaneers lead the NFL in passing yards per game.

The other loss was to the hottest team in the NFL, the Seattle Seahawks. Carolina now faces one of the worst teams in the league on Sunday. They’ll win and cover.

Why Cleveland Browns are a good bet +1.5?

Are the Browns a safe bet for NFL Week 14?

Cleveland’s much improved from last season. Although they’ve only won 4 games, they’ve beaten teams like Cincinnati and Atlanta that would have dominated them last season.

The Browns give up a ton of yards each game, but rank 26th in points allowed. Interim head coach Greg Williams will come up with a game plan to contain Cam Newton and Christian McCaffrey. There’s a good chance the Browns win this by 6 or 7 points.

Panthers vs Browns Final NFL Betting Analysis

Because Carolina’s really struggling, this is one of the most difficult to handicap games in Week 14. On one hand, the Panthers are the obvious choice because they’ve got a former NFL MVP playing quarterback.

On the other hand, Cleveland steps it up at home, going 4-2 ATS this season. The Browns also bounce back after against the spread losses, and they’ll be more fired up than Carolina. Cleveland takes it.
