When it seems the Dallas Cowboys’ season can’t become even more pathetic, it does.
As of Tuesday, ESPN BET lists the Carolina Panthers as a 2.5-point favorite in their home matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday.
If Vegas doesn’t change the spread, the Panthers will be favored in a game for the first time since Dec. 18, 2022, when they were a three-point favorite against the Pittsburgh Steelers (via ESPN’s David Newton). The Steelers upset the Panthers 24-16 in that matchup.
Panthers second-year quarterback Bryce Young has improved after Carolina benched him in favor of Andy Dalton earlier this season. Over his past five games, the 2023 No. 1 overall pick has completed 58.8 percent of his passes for five touchdowns and has tossed two interceptions.
Despite Young’s progress, Carolina (3-10) is last in the NFC South and will likely miss the playoffs for a seventh straight season.
If the Panthers are one of the worst organizations in the league, what does that make the Cowboys? A potential shipwreck.
Dallas fell to 5-8 after an embarrassing 27-20 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on “Monday Night Football” in Week 14.
With 1:01 left in the game, Bengals QB Joe Burrow threw a 40-yard touchdown to wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase after Dallas bungled a blocked punt. Cowboys cornerback Amani Oruwariye tried to recover it, but he fumbled, giving the Bengals the ball.
