The Carolina Panthers host the Dallas Cowboys for Week 6 matchup for this NFC South vs NFC East matchup. The Panthers come into this game with a 2-3 record, winning their last matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Bryce Young has shown some growth this season, but is still struggling with 4 interceptions thrown already in 5 weeks on just 60.9 percent completion rate. Panthers have somehow managed to get two wins, but are still far from a playoff contender.
Meanwhile, the the Dallas Cowboys have had a very interesting start to their season so far. The Cowboys beat the New York Jets in their Week 5 matchup and defense has been the biggest concern for them, ranking 32nd in passing, overall defense. They are 2-2-1 for the season, drawing against the Green Bay Packers, and despite Dak Prescott’s efforts, they sit at third position in NFC East. Losing Micah Parsons to Green Bay has surely hurt them defensively and are looking much more vulnerable than they were last season.

If you’re looking for a complete guide to the best NFL betting sites, we’ve got you covered.
Javonte Williams is off to an excellent start this season, scoring at least one touchdown in 4 out of 5 games so far. In 5 games the Cowboys running back has already had 79 rushing attempts, 447 rushing yards, and 5 touchdowns. Looking at the Panthers’ rushing defense which has allowed 5 rushing TDs so far, Williams to a threat to score at any given moment.
Rico Dowdle, running back for the Carolina Panthers, is a threat to score as he had an explosive game against the Dolphins going for 206 rushing yards and a touchdown. He had 23 attempts last game, and looking at the Cowboys’ 22nd ranked rush defense, Dowdle should be able to get a touchdown.
We except the touchdowns to go over 5.5 because of the defenses for both teams. The Panthers rank 12th in total defense, but are 18th on scoring defense (14 TDs allowed so far), and 21st in red zone defense. Meanwhile, the Cowboys rank dead last in total defense, 24th in red zone defense, and 29th in scoring defense (18 TDs allowed). This game will come down to who can make more plays on the offensive end, to determine the winner.
We expect the Dallas Cowboys to somehow whether the storm and take away the game. The Cowboys are on the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to their offense, ranking 1st in total offense, 3rd in passing offense, and 8th in rushing offense. While the Panthers have been solid on the defensive end, their passing offense ranks 26th in the league. The Cowboys should be able to outscore the Panthers and pull away win a win.
Prediction: Cowboys win the game 27-24
