Only two NFL teams have opened as an underdog for all 17 of their games on the 2024 schedule

After the 2024 NFL schedule was released last week, it didn’t take much time for the oddsmakers to go through and set a point spread for all 272 games on the slate. And if those point spreads are any indication, there are two teams that might not be that good this year. Those two teams are the New England Patriots and the Carolina Panthers. 

Of the NFL’s 32 teams, the Patriots and Panthers are the only two that are not favored to win A SINGLE GAME this year, according to the point spreads from Draft Kings sportsbook. 

Let’s take a look at what the point spread will be for each game this season involving New England and Carolina:

The Panthers’ biggest game as an underdog will come in Week 14 when they travel to Philadelphia, where the Eagles are currently favored by 7.5 points. As for the Patriots, their numbers are actually uglier. For one, the Patriots are currently an 11.5-point underdog to the 49ers for a Week 4 game that will be played in San Francisco. Also, the Patriots are a 9-point underdog to the Bengals in Week 1, which makes New England the biggest underdog out of any team in the NFL for the opening week of the season.
