You can find Carolina Panthers futures heading into the new season with some updated throughout, but the best payout odds can always be found early to bet on.
Oddsmakers have this Panthers squad performing much better than last year’s reversion backwards as they are expected to win at least 10 regular season games at a high price of -150.
They have built a deep pass rush during the off season while locking up key players the likes of Julius Peppers and Kawaan Short.
Wes Horton and third-round pick Daeshon Hall will help this team win games as well.
The Charlotte Observer offered its mini-camp observations for Russell Shepard, noting that he has made big play after big play throughout OTAs and is carrying that into minicamp – and head coach Ron Rivera is not surprised.
“He’s a veteran guy that we felt was on the cusp,” said Rivera. The Panthers signed Shepard in the spring after he spent four seasons in Tampa Bay, after a 2016 campaign during which he sealed his up-and-comer status with 23 catches for 341 yards and two touchdowns.
“Those are the kind of guys you look for in free agency,” Rivera said, “the guys who have been three, four years in the league and they’re right on the cusp of taking the next step. We feel like he’s one of those guys.”
On paper this looks like one of the toughest divisions, if not THE toughest. As such, that 10 number is just a little too high for our liking.
