Week 16 NFL Spread: Panthers vs. Giants

Point spread and prediction for the week 16 NFL clash between the Carolina Panthers and the New York Giants plus the betting spreads, and betting trends for nfl football gambling…

NFL Odds Panthers @ Giants

The Carolina Panthers travel to New York to take on the Giants in a game with huge implications for which team will secure home field throughout the NFC Conference playoffs. A lot of sports betting fans probably aren’t aware that the Panthers have quietly gone through the regular season winning game after game. They are currently 11 and 3 straight up and 8-5-1 against the BetUS online betting spread. Carolina has done it with a newly revamped offensive line that has created huge holes all season for Jonathan Stewart and DeAngelo Williams. The Panthers are a pretty good team for NFL betting fans to key on but they face a tough task in trying to beat the New York Giants on the road.

The Giants are reeling after suffering their second defeat in a row. To make matters worse it was against one of their biggest rivals, the Dallas Cowboys. The G-Men had a chance to knock their rivals out of the playoffs but failed to do so. New York has been fantastic against the BetUS online wagering spread this season going 10 and 4, but the two losses in a row have to be worrisome for football betting fans. New York has to bounce back in this game against the Carolina Panthers if they want to secure home field advantage in the playoffs.

Game-day: 21/21/2008
Kick-off: 8:15 pm est.

Here are the BetUS online NFL betting odds for this game:

Carolina Panthers + 3 Ev + 155 O 39 ½ – 110
New York Giants -3 – 120 – 175 U 39 ½ – 110

Here are a few online wagering trends that might help us find a good online bet in this game:

The Carolina Panthers are 4 and 1 against the spread in their last 5 games on grass.
The Over is 5 and 0 in the Carolina Panthers last five games versus an NFC opponent.
The New York Giants are 5 and 1 against the spread in their last 6 games as the favorite.
The Under is 6 and 1 in the New York Giants last 7 games following a straight-up loss.

Carolina is a very good team but the key to beating them is simple. If you can contain Steve Smith, then you can beat the Carolina Panthers. That’s been the key to beating this team for a very long time. Even though their offensive line has improved, this team will only go as far as Steve Smith will take them.

The Giants know this. I just can’t believe that the Super Bowl defending champs are going to lose three games in a row. New York had no business losing to the Philadelphia Eagles two weeks ago. They had no business losing to the Dallas Cowboys last week.

No team plays with as much pride as the G-Men. To me, that means that they go out and take down the Panthers and cover against the BetUS online NFL betting spread.

Giants vs. Panthers Prediction:

I’ll be making an online bet on the New York Giants to cover the BetUS Sportsbook betting spread of 3 points in their game against the Carolina Panthers.
