Panthers Favored Over Cowboys for First Time in Two Years

Carolina's improved play and Dallas' struggles set the stage for a competitive Week 15 matchup.

The Carolina Panthers are favored for the first time since December 2022, with most sportsbooks giving them a 2.5-point edge over the Dallas Cowboys.
Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has shown significant improvement since being benched earlier this season, despite ongoing challenges with his receiving corps.
Carolina has been competitive in recent weeks, narrowly losing to top teams like the Eagles, Chiefs, and Buccaneers by an average of four points.
The Dallas Cowboys, coming off a close loss to the Bengals, have shown inconsistency this season, with quarterback Cooper Rush stepping in for an underwhelming offense.
Neither team has playoff hopes, but both are focused on ending the season strong, with the Panthers seeking their first win as favorites since 2021.
