Carolina Panthers vs. Commanders odds and prop bets for Week 7 clash
By Dean Jones
The Washington Commanders cannot afford any slip-ups if they want to meet some rising expectations. Beating the Carolina Panthers on home soil is a good place to start.
Nobody expected them to get the better of the Baltimore Ravens last time out, so being more competitive than anticipated was a bonus. Fans will be demanding more at Northwest Stadium in Week 7 looking at how things are currently unfolding for the Panthers through six contests.
Carolina is among the league's bottom feeders once again. They are low in confidence, have benched former No. 1 pick Bryce Young, and are dealing with a plethora of injuries to key personnel. It's a winnable game for the Commanders, but staying professional and avoiding complacency is crucial.
The Panthers have an offense that can exploit Washington's weaknesses if improvements don't arrive. That will be more difficult without Jonathan Allen and Dorance Armstrong Jr. to depend upon, so Dan Quinn and Joe Whitt Jr. must find adequate solutions before going up versus a formidable offensive line.
There's also the small matter of Darrell Green getting his No. 28 jersey number retired at long last. Honoring his unrivaled legacy with a win is paramount.

Jayden Daniels prop bets
Jayden Daniels deserves endless praise for the way he's applied himself so far. The quarterback is everything the Commanders thought and more, displaying a poise and composure under center this team has craved for years.
Daniels held his own against the formidable Ravens' defense to keep Washington competitive in the face of a potential Super Bowl winner. This might be a lesser challenge for the No. 2 overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft, but he won't be underestimating the Panthers that's for sure.
FanDuel Sportsbook has Daniels' over/under for passing yards in Week 7 at 239.5. This is available at -110 in both directions (bet $110 to win $100). The former LSU star is projected to be around 20.5 completions from 29.5 attempts. His over/under for touchdown passes is 1.5.
- Over 1.5 touchdowns: -135 (bet $135 to win $100)
- Under 1.5 touchdowns: +104 (bet $100 to win $104)
