Carolina +3 over Dallas

 

Bank of America Stadium – Charlotte, NC

 

1:00 PM ET. Dallas is back in the public’s good graces after two straight strong showings without CeeDee Lamb. Dak Prescott is racking up numbers, Brian Schottenheimer’s offense is humming, and the Cowboys are getting hyped as a team “figuring it out.” That’s precisely when they become fade material.

 

Dallas is being priced like a trustworthy road favorite, which they are not. They’ve faced a string of soft defensive looks and benefitted from short fields and turnovers — not sustained, efficient drives. Prescott’s production looks great on paper, but he’s doing it against units that can’t rush the passer or defend the deep middle.

 

The Cowboys still have no downfield dimension without Lamb, and their offensive line is one injury away from a full-blown shuffle. Now they head into humid Charlotte for an early start against a Carolina side that’s trending up.

 

The Panthers just rallied to beat Miami in a game that showed their grit more than their flash. Dave Canales’ team doesn’t care how it looks; they care about making you uncomfortable. They play heavy, control time of possession, and force you to defend the run for four quarters. Rico Dowdle’s breakout performance against the Dolphins (206 rushing yards, NFC Offensive Player of the Week) came at the perfect time. Dowdle spent four years buried on the Dallas depth chart, and he’s waited for this moment.

 

Motivation won’t be an issue, and if Chuba Hubbard returns, Carolina has the one-two punch to attack a Dallas defense that’s quietly dead last against the pass and middle-of-the-pack against the run. That’s a bad combination against a ball-control team. The Cowboys are walking into a trap: cross-country travel, an early start, heavy humidity, and a physical home team that wants to slow everything down. The Panthers are healthier, motivated, and catching points in their own building.
