Carolina Panthers odds to win and betting lines

The odds on the Carolina Panthers to reach the 2008 Super Bowl don't come even close to last year.

Carolina Panthers odds to win and betting lines In 2006 most of the sportsbooks viewed the Carolina Panthers as one of the teams favorite to reach the Super Bowl and the odds back then reflected the prediction. But this year the online betting companies have taken much more conservative approach towards the Panthers. With Jeff Davidson as a new coach, and the addition of the quarterback David Carr from the Texans have not moved the betting lines on the Carolina by much.

Poor performance by the QB Jake Delhomme last year is partially responsible for the low odds on the Carolina Panthers. Delhomme threw for just 17 TDs and 11picks. It's not a sure thing which of the quarterbacks will be at the helm, but whoever it is, his job will be much easier, now that WR Steve Smith is back on the roster after a hamstring injury.

But the Preseason game was good for the Carolina Panthers, taking a 24-21 victory over the New York Giants. Brett Basanez went 3-for-8 for 111 yards and a touchdown, while Taye Biddle had two catches for 108 yards and two majors for the Panthers.
