One bettor in Kentucky placed a ludicrous bet against Carolina for Sunday's game in Philadelphia.
have managed to beat the spread in four straight games, but this week they're getting a challenge on a whole other level when they visit the Philadelphia Eagles. When the line opened earlier this week they were 12-point underdogs. With about 28 hours to go before kickoffProfessional athletes shouldn't need motivation from outside sources going into any game, but if the Panthers want it they certainly have one. Onan absolutely wild wager against Carolina. from one bettor in Kentucky.
Somebody has to teach modern bettors about pot odds, but that's a story for another day. The bet was so big that it prompted the sportsbook to shift the moneyline - the Eagles are now at -870. What they're banking on is Carolina's inability to stop the run going against the best rushing team in the NFL this year. The Eagles are putting up 188.9 rushing yards per game, while the Panthers are allowing a league-worst 166.8 yards on the ground.
While it's a good bet that Saquon Barkley is going to go off, putting over $3 million on a game you have no control for such a small return is a bit nuts. There are a lot of other dynamics that might not go in Philly's favor - including Bryce Young's ongoing hotstreak and some marginal improvements from the Panthers' defense recently - especially their pass rush. An upset is pretty unlikely, but given how they have played lately Carolina might give this bettor a real scare.
