Panthers-Giants predictions, odds, injuries, what to pay attention to in the Munich match

Match day in Munich, Germany Carolina Panthers Our game against the New York Giants begins in a few hours.

Let’s go over everything you need to know about this matchup, starting with the latest odds.

As of this writing, the Giants still have a 6.5 point lead. DraftKings Sports Bettingas it has been all week. But why the line is so heavily on their side is open to debate. Like the New Orleans Saints last week, these Giants are reeling from losing four straight games after starting the season 2-3. That gives them a 2-7 record, tied with the Panthers and several other teams for the league’s worst record in Week 10. Meanwhile, Carolina comes off an emotional victory at home and snaps a five-game losing streak.

Jadeveon Clowney is listed as: Injury report questionable however, he fully participated in Friday’s practice and is expected to play. Carolina may also feature DJ Wonnum for the first time this year, as he has been activated from the PUP list. However, left winger Ikem Ekwonu and experienced winger Adam Thielen were left out of the squad. Brady Christensen will start in their place and rookie Xavier Legette will take over as the team’s WR1. Rookie running back Jonathon Brooks is also listed as questionable; If he plays, it will be his first action in the NFL.

The G-Men are a bit thin at wideout this week, with Darius Slayton suffering a concussion and Bryce Ford-Wheaton sidelined with an Achilles injury. Former Panthers kicker Graham Gano is expected to return after being injured since September. Superstar defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence was limited in practice Thursday and Friday, but that appears to be just a case of load management. He has no status and will line up across the interior of Carolina.

This matchup will be the biggest matchup to watch in this game — specifically Lawrence going up against Cade Mays, Robert Hunt and Damin Lewis — but more generally it will be the Giants’ passing offense against Carolina’s offensive line. This is the case of an unstoppable force against a motionless object. New York leads the NFL with 35 sacks entering this week, but the Panthers are one of the best pass-protecting teams in the league. If they can consistently get the better of Lawrence, Kayvon Thibodeaux and former Panthers offensive lineman Brian Burns, another upset will be a real possibility.

This is exactly what we expect. The Giants don’t do many things well on the field, and if you can neutralize this pass rush, they’ll be nearly toothless outside of rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers, who has an interesting game against Jaycee Horn. We expect Chuba Hubbard to have a strong game on the court again, and if Bryce Young can get another quality start they could even win by a point. Panthers 27, Giants 20.
