The Panthers are a perfect 3-0 SU and ATS on the season, and while hardly any credit can be given for beating the Jets and the Texans, their underdog win against the Saints stands out. Their defense has held opponents to a league-best 191.0 yards per game, so if any team should be able to slow down the Cowboys' high-octane offense it's Carolina.

Dallas has reeled off back-to-back wins since coming up just short in its season opener at Tampa Bay. In their last game (Monday night), the Cowboys put a 41-21 beating on Philly. Now they'll be playing on a short week, and perhaps in a letdown spot following that blowout win against a divisional rival.

Cowboys are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite. Panthers are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog.

8* play on Carolina Panthers.
