September and the NFL season 2022 are a long way off to begin yet. The preseason games, however, can undoubtedly help fill the void left by all this time without activity on the gridiron.
If betting is your thing, here at JefeBet we present you an analysis of how the Washington Commanders and the Carolina Panthers are coming into this game of preseason Week 1 as well as their odds and predictions.
Predictions and Betting Preview for the Washington Commanders vs Carolina Panthers NFL Preseason Week 1 Game on August 13, 2022
- Where: FedExField, Maryland, Washington, D.C.
- When: Saturday, August 13, 2022, 13:00 PM ET
Betting on the Washington Commanders
- Record: 0-0
- Spread: -2.5
- Moneyline: -135
- Over/Under: 36
The Washington franchise has in their hands the opportunity to make their surroundings forget about the disappointment they went through in the 2021 season, at least in this preseason game. Their offense promised great things, but the reality was different, and the team led by head coach Ron Rivera ended up winning only 10 games, taking third place in the NFC East.
With the addition of quarterback Carson Wentz, the offensive line is expected to perform better, and this will be a good time to test how much the former Colts player brings to the table for the 2022 NFL season.
Betting on the Carolina Panthers
- Record: 0-0
- Spread: +2.5
- Moneyline: +115
- Over/Under: 36 points
The Carolina Panthers made several moves prior to the 2021 season with the intention of being a protagonist, but everything went wrong, and they finished in last place in their division by only winning five games. The team has struggled to get a quarterback who can provide confidence and, above all, be key to positive results, and Sam Dornald didn’t get it in 2021.
This season, the Panthers made another big move and managed to add quarterback Baker Mayfield to their offense, coming from the Cleveland Browns. He is an experienced player even though he has not exploited his skills to 100%, but surely Carolina fans will give him the benefit of the doubt.
JefeBet Prediction
The Commanders have home-field advantage for this game, and have also won three of their last five games, including the most recent 21-27 win.
