NFL Preseason: Carolina Panthers -1

Handicapper: Joe Duffy

Joe Duffy also backs Carolina -1 at Jacksonville, with the case built around multiple preseason betting systems. Jacksonville was attracting 61% of spread tickets and 79% of the money despite becoming an underdog. From 2023-25, teams receiving the majority of tickets in preseason games lined at 2.5 points or less went just 17-32 ATS (34.6%); fading that group had started this preseason 5-1 ATS.

Another system favors teams rebounding from double-digit preseason losses on the road, a group that entered 61-43 ATS (58.7%) since 2013. Duffy notes that Carolina’s move from an official outlaw line of Jacksonville -2.5 to Panthers favorite prevents the play from reaching premium status, making PANTHERS -1 the free selection.
