Carolina Panthers vs. Commanders odds and prop bets for the Week 7 game

Washington commanders cannot afford any slip-ups if they are to live up to rising expectations. A win against the Carolina Panthers on home soil is a good start.

No one expected them to beat the Baltimore Ravens last time out, so being more competitive than expected was a bonus. Fans will be demanding more in Week 7 at Northwest Stadium when they see how things are currently shaping up for the Panthers through six contests.

Carolina is once again one of the bottom teams in the league. They have low confidence, benched former No. 1 pick Bryce Young and are dealing with a variety of injuries to key personnel. It's a winnable game for the commanders, but it's crucial to remain professional and avoid complacency.

The Panthers have an offense that can exploit Washington's weaknesses if improvements don't occur. This will be more difficult without Jonathan Allen and Dorance Armstrong Jr. to rely on, so Dan Quinn and Joe Whitt Jr. will have to find adequate solutions before facing a formidable offensive line.

There's also the small matter of Darrell Green finally retiring his jersey number, No. 28. Honoring his unmatched legacy with a win is of the utmost importance.

According to the latest odds from FanDuel Sportsbook, the Commanders are 9.5-point favorites at home against the Panthers in Week 7. It's hard to remember a time when Quinn's men were so heavily favored, which is -110 depending on which side the point spread you're on (bet $110 to win $100).

Anyone wanting to bet on the Commanders moneyline will need a lot of cash for a good return with odds currently set at -510 (bet $510 to win $100). Carolina is the underdog, unsurprisingly all things considered, at +390 (Bet $100 to win $390).

A plus for those watching the game is the over/under score at FanDuel Sportsbook. The score is 51.5, suggesting it could be an entertaining affair at Northwest Stadium.

The game odds are updated regularly and are subject to change.

Jayden Daniels deserves endless praise for the way he has committed himself so far. The quarterback is everything the Commanders thought he would be and more, showing a poise and composure under center that this team has craved for years.

Daniels held his own against the Ravens' formidable defense to keep Washington competitive in the face of a potential Super Bowl champion. This may be less of a challenge for the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, but he certainly won't underestimate the Panthers.

FanDuel Sportsbook has Daniels' over/under for passing yards in Week 7 at 239.5. This is possible at -110 in either direction (bet $110 to win $100). The former LSU star is expected to average around 20.5 completions on 29.5 attempts. His over/under for touchdown passes is 1.5.
