are expected the 2022 season on the right foot ahead of their Week 1 matchup against the Cleveland Browns (+1.5), as the opening line from DraftKings Sportsbook has the Panthers as 1.5-point favorites over the Browns. The over/under is currently set at 42 points.
The Panthers are hoping that changes made to the coaching staff (new offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo) and at quaterback (Baker Mayfield replaces Sam Darnold as the starter) will be enough to get an offense that struggled last season over the hump and help lead them to an improvement over last season’s 5-12 record.
