Washington at Carolina

The Carolina Panthers are 13-0 straight-up in their last 13 regular season games. The numbers for this year's 9-0 record don't really indicate a team that should be 9-0. The Panthers are out-gaining their opponents by just 15 yards a game, and have been out-gained in four of their last five contests - all wins. Since Washington allowed 34 points to the NY Jets four games back, the Skins have allowed fewer points every week for the last three weeks. They will go against a rather average Carolina offense, and certainly could limit them here. It's the Carolina defense, which has carried this Panthers team, that is likely to hold their ground here as well. The Panthers are 9-2-1 to the UNDER in their last 12 games after allowing 14 or fewer points in their previous contest, and 22-8 to the UNDER in their last 30 at home vs. a team with a losing road record. Play the UNDER.
