Carolina at Washington Week 15 Betting Pick & Prediction

The Monday Night Football game of the week will take us to the nation’s capitol as the Carolina Panthers visit the Washington Redskins. The Carolina Panthers are the defending NFC Champions, but will not be heading to the postseason this season. The Panthers are coming off a win last week, but are 5-8 on the season. Carolina is tied with the Saints for the final spot in the NFC South. On the other side, the Washington Redskins are 7-5- 1. Washington is in third place in the NFC East, but just ½ game behind for the final wildcard spot. The Washington Redskins come into this game at -3 over the Carolina Panthers in the NFL lines.

Why Bet on the Redskins?

The Washington Redskins are led by their quarterback Kirk Cousins. The former Michigan State signal caller has thrown for more than 4,000 yards this season. The top receiving for the Redskins has been Jamison Crowder. He has 60 receptions, more than 800 yards and 7 touchdowns. Washington is one of the top scoring teams in the league with more than 25 points per game. Washington beat the Eagles last week, to snap their two game losing streak. The Redskins will play at the Chicago Bears next week, and then come home and host the New York Giants in Week 17.

Why Bet on the Panthers?

The Carolina Panthers are looking to play the spoiler role in this game. The Panthers are not going to head to the postseason, following their 1-5 start. Carolina’s defense has not been very good this season. The Panthers are allowing teams to score more than 25 points per game. On the offensive side, the Panthers are scoring 23.9 points per game. Greg Olsen is the top target for last year’s Most Valuable Player Cam Newton. Olsen needs just 93 yards to reach 1,000 on the season. The Panthers are at home against the Atlanta Falcons next week, and then head out on the road and take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Betting Pick & Score Prediction

The Carolina Panthers would love to keep another team from heading to the postseason. Ron Rivera is a great coach, and is going to have his team ready to play. The Panthers will get a chance to play on national TV, and they are going to want to show that they still have something left in them. The Redskins should be able to score, but the Panthers are going to score more points than they do. In the end, the bet for this game is the Carolina Panthers +3 over the Washington Redskins. This is the Monday Night Football game for Week 15 in the NFL.
