Panthers strong favourites to improve to 15-0 in NFL betting

New York Giants @ Minnesota Vikings (-4.5)

The 9-7 Vikings, meanwhile, play host to the Giants as 4.5-point favourites. Minnesota can clinch a playoff berth with a victory, and enters Week 15 within striking distance of Green Bay in the NFC North, who hold a tenuous one-game lead in the divisional standings.

The Vikings are just 2-3 SU in their past five after opening on a strong 7-2 run, but face a fading New York squad that has fallen from top spot in the NFC East with just one SU win in their past five.

New York will also be without star receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who will sit out Sunday’s game, serving a suspension for his unsportsmanlike antics in the Giants’ loss to Carolina last weekend.

A win over New York, combined with a Green Bay loss in Arizona on Sunday would set the stage for a showdown between the Vikings and Packers next week at Lambeau Field to decide the NFC North championship.

Green Bay Packers @ Arizona Cardinals (-4.5)

The Packers visit the Cardinals as 4.5-point underdogs following their third straight win, a 30-20 victory over the Oakland Raiders last weekend, but Green Bay has been less than prolific offensively in recent weeks, with quarterback Aaron Rodgers failing to crack 300 yards in the air in each of his last five outings.

Green Bay has won seven of their last nine SU against Arizona, but just one of their last three at University of Phoenix Stadium, where the 12-2 Cardinals have won 16 of their last 19 SU.

Winners of eight straight overall, Arizona also has an eye on a first-round bye in this year’s playoffs, which they can secure with a win over the Packers.

In other NFL Week 16 betting action at Coral, the Washington Redskins can clinch the NFC East title with a win when they visit the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday night, pegged as 3-point underdogs.

The Seahawks host the St. Louis Rams as heavy 13-point favourites, while the New York Jets try to keep their playoff hopes alive when they entertain the New England Patriots as 3-point underdogs, and the Colts visit the Miami Dolphins as 2.5-point underdogs.
