One of the teams that will be trying to establish a winning attitude vs the NFL preseason odds at the online sportsbook are the Panthers.
The Panthers are returning from a weak 2009 season and they begin 2010 with a lot of questions. Due to a broken left forearm, star wide receiver Steve Smith might not play in some of the early NFL preseason gambling matches, while the battle at quarterback might be intriguing to watch.
The Panthers are posted as underdogs in their preseason opener on August 12th on the road at Baltimore by NFL preseason odds. Since it’s being aired on ESPN, that competition could get some interest. The Panthers might also be underdogs at home versus the Jets in NFL preseason betting in Week 2 but they should be favored versus Tennessee in Week 3 and in Week 4 anything is feasible in their preseason finale versus Pittsburgh.
The Panthers are taking a look at Matt Moore as their starting quarterback this season and he really needs the time with top wide receiver Steve Smith in the preseason. Given that Smith has an injury, though, he is not going to get as much. Smith is anticipated to be ready for the start of the normal season but how much he plays in the preseason is surely in question. Smith shattered his left forearm playing flag football.
The Panthers want Moore to get a lot of work this preseason so he should get a lot of playing time but they also need to take a prolonged look at rookie quarterback Jimmy Clausen. The squad also needs a alternative for wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad who retired. They require someone to make tackles, too, since top linebacker Thomas Davis is out due to injury. Davis was one of the best defensive players for Carolina last season. The Panthers will check out Jon Beason to take over Davis’ spot. If cornerback Richard Marshall doesn’t sign his contract tender, the Panthers could have another defensive concern.
The emphasis in NFL preseason odds with the Panthers will be on Moore, Clausen and another rookie quarterback, Tony Pike, who the Panthers took in the 6th round of the draft. Carolina will need to have success in the preseason so they can be self-assured in Moore and the offense proceeding into the 2010 NFL normal season.
In 1995, the Panthers joined the NFL as part of the South Division of the National Football League. In their 15 years, they have compiled a history of 115-121. They made an appearance in Super Bowl XXXVIII in Houston, Texas. They were beaten by the New England Patriots, the American Football Conference squad champ.
The Panthers are presently coached by John Fox, who was opted for in 2002. He was at one time the New York Giants’ defensive coordinator, and was renowned for defensive discipline, which would surely be required to turn around a squad that had landed at the bottom of the defensive standings the previous year. The last a number of years have been spent by Fox seeking to revamp the squad into a real contender by way of the NFL draft.
