The Panthers were pounded 33-10 by the visiting Dallas Cowboys, and Carolina has dropped 3 in a row, while going 0-2-1 against the spread (ATS), since its lone win of the season against the Houston Texans in Week 8.

Carolina is 1-2 straight up (SU) and ATS in 3 games against AFC teams this season, while the Under is also 2-1 in those games. The Under has cashed in 4 straight games for the Panthers, while averaging just 12.8 points per game (PPG) during the span.

The Titans were roughed up 34-14 in Jacksonville last weekend, losing for the 3rd consecutive game. Tennessee has also failed to cover in 3 in a row, while going just 1-5 ATS in the past 6 games overall.

Tennessee is 1-2 SU against NFC teams this season, while going 2-1 ATS in those outings, with both covers as an underdog. The Under is 2-1 in 3 games vs. NFC opponents.

Panthers at Titans picks and predictions

Prediction

Titans 23, Panthers 12

Moneyline

The Titans (-186) are just slightly over my personal limit for a singular moneyline play, but if you were to toss Tennessee into a multi-team parlay of perhaps 4 or more teams, I wouldn't be as much against that.

PASS on betting Tennessee straight up, however.

Against the spread

The TITANS -3.5 (-110) are a strong play in Week 12, and might be the team I have the most confidence in this entire weekend.

The Panthers +3.5 (-110) have been terrible on offense, regardless of who is calling the plays. And Carolina has a laundry list of injured players, especially in the back end on defense, which will make things dicey trying to lock down WR DeAndre Hopkins and the Tennessee receivers.

And if Luvu is sidelined for the Panthers, Carolina's tackling machine in the middle of the defense, it's game, set and match for the home side.

Over/Under

UNDER 36.5 (-110) is a rather low number, but neither of these teams have been very explosive on offense.

Tennessee is averaging just 286.0 total yards, 181.0 passing yards and 16.8 points per game, and all of those categories rank 27th in the NFL.

Carolina has cashed the Under in 4 straight games, and it is averaging just 266.7 total yards, 174.4 passing yards, 92.3 rushing yards and just 16.3 points per game, ranking 28th or lower in the NFL in each category.
