Dallas Cowboys at Carolina Panthers: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 11 game
The lowly Carolina Panthers (1-8) will give their best effort to slow down the roaring Dallas Cowboys (6-3) in Week 11 action.
The Panthers will have a few extra days of rest and preparation after losing to the Chicago Bears 16-13 on Thursday. Rookie Bryce Young went 21 of 38 for 185 yards in the effort. Their lone trip to the end zone came on a punt return from Ihmir Smith-Marsette. Carolina has scored an average of 17 points in nine games.
The Cowboys, meanwhile, are running on all cylinders after sweeping the New York Giants and outperforming them 640 yards of offense to 172 in last week's 49-17 win. Since their Week 7 bye, they have 1,433 yards of offense compared to 744 from their opponents — they even outpaced the Philadelphia Eagles in a loss.

Lorenzo Reyes: Cowboys 30, Panthers 10
The Panthers struggle to maintain their pass protection and the Cowboys can generate pressure with ease. Dallas can also move the ball through the air and Carolina ranks dead last in the NFL in red zone efficiency. The Cowboys will score big.
Tyler Dragon: Cowboys 30, Panthers 16
The Cowboys are in a soft part of their schedule, case in point last week’s 49-17 demolition of the Giants. The Panthers have the worst record in the NFL, the only one-win team in the league. Bryce Young is going through proverbial rookie growing pains and the Panthers struggle to protect him up front.
Safid Deen: Cowboys 38, Panthers 20
The Cowboys will go from blowing out one bad NFL team to another this week. Dallas should beat Carolina easily because of the talent disparity.
Victoria Hernandez: Cowboys 32, Panthers 10
This game should be a pretty easy win for the Cowboys, who should cover the spread without a problem. Their defense remains solid and their offense is outperforming every opponent, including the Eagles. Carolina just doesn’t have anything going for them that would present the slightest threat.
Jordan Mendoza: Cowboys 31, Panthers 12
Dallas has shown the pain they can cause when facing much lesser opponents. Dallas has been able to put up at least 30 points in all but one of their wins, while they haven’t given up more than 20 points in each win. They feast on a Panthers team still trying to figure out its future.
