Carolina Panthers' Super Bowl Odds Reveal Inspiring Offseason Trend

The Panthers have been hard at work in 2026, signing good free agents and drafting good prospects to help bolster the roster and deliver a second consecutive playoff berth and perhaps even the first winning season since 2017.

THe early odds suggested that wasn't possible. Per R.J. White of CBS Sports, the Panthers were +10000 on DraftKings. At that time, they were a possible longshot with a lot of betting value in White's estimation.

Now, they're not. The reason? They have much stronger odds now. "The Cowboys, Raiders and Panthers saw their odds come down enough that they went from potential plays at value to no chance I'll be thinking about betting them," White wrote.

Carolina is now +6500 on FanDuel to win the Super Bowl in 2026. That is obviously not a strong case, but it's a much stronger case. The odds agree with us that the Panthers have improved tremendously. In fact, only one team has had a bigger jump in title odds (Las Vegas Raiders).

They're still just outside the top 20, but consider the teams they are with now: Minnesota Vikings, Washington Commanders, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Pittsburgh Steelers. Certainly not a who's who, but it's better than being ranked with the Titans.

And according to these odds, the Panthers have the second-best shot at the title in the NFC South, which suggests that they will compete for another division title. That isn't surprising, but other odds at different times in the offseason have implied that Carolina's the worst team in the South.
