Dolphins at Panthers: Preview, prediction, odds and pick

The Carolina Panthers will host the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football in Week 10. Here is the game preview, the betting odds and a score prediction.

There is one game left on the Week 10 slate in the NFL. That would be Monday Night Football. This week, that nationally televised primetime game will be in the Queen City of Charlotte, as the Carolina Panthers (6-3) will host the Miami Dolphins (4-4). Kickoff from Bank of America Stadium will be at 8:30 p.m. ET on Nov. 13. ESPN will have the national telecast.

Miami has to win this one to avoid doing something really embarrassing. The Dolphins have the chance at doing something unheard of. If they lose to Carolina in Charlotte, the Dolphins will have lost in primetime on three consecutive weeks on three different days. Sunday Night Football last week wasn’t great and Thursday Night Football two weeks ago was horrible for ‘Phins fans.

Carolina seems to have found itself of late. It is starting to get the running game going, which should complement its stout defense most marvelously. The Panthers look to be back in the NFC playoff picture. 10 wins seems like a likely outcome for this good, but not great NFC franchise in 2017.

Betting Odds

Point Spread: Carolina -10
Moneylines: Carolina -410, Miami +351
Over/Under: 38

According to OddsShark, the Panthers will be laying 10 points at home to the visiting Dolphins. The associated moneylines for this game are Carolina -410 and Miami +351. This game’s over/under comes in at a combined 38 points.

This one will not be particularly close. The Panthers will come out and get two touchdowns on the Dolphins on their first two possessions of the ball game. If you love to see Cam Newton celebrate in the end zone, this game will be for you. He will find pay dirt twice on his own in this one.

Miami will have two scores of its own to briefly make it interesting. The Panthers will suffer from a Kiko Alonso scoop and score. Even Jay Cutler will connect with Kenny Stills for another six points.

However, a third touchdown on the day will be enough to lead the Panthers to a victory. A pair of Graham Gano field goals sprinkled in between helps push this one over and gives the Panthers the ability to cover the 10-point spread at home. Carolina improves to 7-3, while Miami stumbles to 4-5 on the season.

Pick: Panthers 27, Dolphins 14
