Saturday’s Best NFL Preseason Picks & Bets: Panthers vs. Texans
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Carolina Panthers vs. Houston Texans
Both teams are coming off lackluster outings in Week 1, where they only scored 10 points. We'll probably see both star quarterbacks in action, but both will undoubtedly get pulled early. However, the Carolina defense appears to be in bad enough shape that C.J. Stroud can give the Texans a lead before he sits that the team will not lose.
Panthers head coach Dave Canales is 1-3 straight up (SU) and 0-4 against the spread (ATS) in preseason action. DeMeco Ryans is 5-3 SU and 4-4 ATS in preseason play. Houston has a better roster and the depth to play well enough to win this game.
Pick: Texans -2.5 (-115)
