The Carolina Panthers are currently favored

The new Carolina Panthers jerseys are led by head coach John Fox who brings with him 8 years of NFL coaching experience. The Carolina Panthers are currently favored at 35/1 betting odds to win Super Bowl XLV.

Below you will find a review of the Carolina Panthers broken down into three categories: Offense, Defense and Special Teams.

The 2010 Carolina Panthers offense, which was traditionally led by Jake Delhomme the past few years, will now be led by a young Matt Moore at quarterback. Last NFL season the Panthers scored an average of 19.7 points/game and had 174.9 passing yards/game which Jonathan Stewart sports handicappers are expecting the Carolina Panthers to improve on this season with a new offensive look.

Last season the Carolina Panthers defense was 9th in the NFL for points against, averaging 19.2 points/game and the Panthers were 22nd in the NFL at stopping their opponents running game, averaging 124.8 rushing yards against per game.

The Carolina Panthers special teams are ranked 19th in the league for field goals and ranked 31st in Kickoff returns which is an area of interest for them in the upcoming NFL season.

Currently the 2010 Carolina Panthers are favored at 16/1 betting odds to win the DeAngelo Williams NFC conference and they are favored at +550 to win the NFC South Division.

Smith broke his arm last month while playing flag football, and the injury typically takes two months to fully heal. Smith has been regularly working with trainers, a team source said Thursday, and could be back in time for the Panthers' Sept. 2 preseason finale at Pittsburgh.

Smith is a notoriously fast healer and already is making good progress Kenneth Moore  toward a return, the source said. Even if Smith isn't ready for a preseason game, the Panthers remain confident that he will be back for the Sept. 12 season opener against the New York Giants.
