The Arizona Cardinals and the Carolina Panthers haven’t necessarily played too well to start the season. People expected that Carolina was going to struggle throughout the year, but Arizona being 1-2 is certainly a surprise to many out there.
Continue reading below if you would like to get our Panthers vs. Cardinals total for this game.
Carolina Panthers
The start of the season for the Carolina Panthers is definitely not the way that they were hoping for it to go.
Newly-acquired quarterback Baker Mayfield has struggled to start the season, and that didn’t change even in their 22-14 win against the New Orleans Saints. Baker threw for 170 yards and completed less than half of his passes.
It’s been a major call for concern for this Panthers team if they want to be the team that they’re hoping to be this season.
Once again, everybody didn’t expect them to play too well, but the Panthers team stats to start the season are not looking great for them.
Moneyline
Opening Line
In what might be a surprise to some, the Carolina Panthers will be coming in as a -120 favorite.
How the Line Moved and Why
The line opened up at Carolina -130, but money must be coming in on Arizona as it has now changed to -120. This is because people expect Arizona to possibly win this game.
What Makes Lose the Bet
This bet could certainly lose if Baker Mayfield doesn’t play well once again.
Spread Line
Opening Line
The spread coming into this one is going to see the Carolina Panthers coming into this one as a 1.5-point favorite.
How the Line Moved and Why
Carolina opened up as a 2.5-point favorite, and that moved because people think that Carolina can at least win this game or only lose by one point.

There is a good chance at this bet could lose if the Carolina Panthers come out and play the same way that they had throughout the first few weeks of the season.
Total

How the Line Moved and Why

Betting Trends to Know
The Carolina Panthers are currently 1-2 against the spread, and the over/under has hit the over once in their first three games.
Arizona Cardinals
The Arizona Cardinals have an argument to be made that they could be one of the best teams in all of football. With Kyler Murray running their offense and some of their weapons around him, this team could make some noise in the NFC West.
They’ve had a disappointing start to the season, losing to the Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs, but those are arguably two of the best three teams in all of football.
If they want to be the team that everybody is hoping for them to be this season, they need to win games like this one. Let’s break down the Cardinals odds.
Moneyline
Opening Line
The Cardinals are going to be coming into this one at +100 on the money line.
How the Line Has Moved and Why

How the Line Has Moved and Why

Most Profitable Players of this Matchup to Bet On
Some of the most profitable players to bet on in this game are going to be:
- Kyler Murray
- Baker Mayfield
- Christian McCaffrey
With NFL Week 4 odds. Our first bet is going to be taking Kyler Murray to throw for over 238.5 yards for -110 odds.
Kyle Murray
He hasn’t necessarily looked great throughout the first few games of the season, but he’s shown that he is still one of the better quarterbacks in all of football as he threw for 314 yards against the Los Angeles Rams in their most recent loss.
Baker Mayfield
Baker Mayfield, sitting at 206.5 total yards for -110 odds, is also going to be another play that we’re thinking about here.
He’s another one who needs to be playing better if this Carolina Panthers team wants to play better than they have, but he has shown some promise once again.
He hasn’t thrown for more than 235 yards once this season, but he’s been close to that 206 range in terms of just needing a few more throws to go his way.
Christian McCaffrey
Our final NFL picks today bet is going to be taking Christian McCaffrey to have over 74.5 yards for -105 odds.
McCaffrey is arguably the best running back in all of football when he’s healthy, and that’s been evident throughout the first few weeks of the season.
He rushed for 102 yards in Week 2 against the New York Giants and then had 108 yards against the New Orleans Saints in Week 3.
