NFL Odds: Cowboys vs. Panthers Week 7

The Dallas Cowboys visit the Carolina Panthers after losing three of their last four games, which eclipsed an auspicious victory against the New York Giants in the first game of the season.

Dallas (2-3) had planned to dominate the Eastern Division of the National Conference, especially after the victory in his visit to the Giants. Now, the Cowboys are mired in last place in the division after failing to properly handle breaks in matches and dropping crucial passes.

Perhaps, the worst calamity was quarterback Tony Romo, who has been intercepted nine of his passes, the most in the conference.

"We desperately need a win," said fullback Lawrence Vickers. "It is critical to get this win."

Bovada sportsbook currently have the Cowboys listed as 2- point favorites versus the Panthers, while the game's total is sitting at 45.

Carolina (1-4) had no expectations as big as the Cowboys. However, the Panthers expected to continue to improve, one season after Cam Newton was named the Offensive Rookie of the Year, and hoped at least compete for the top spot in the NFC South.

Instead, Carolina's attack was the worst in the NFL, even in a terrible campaign of New Orleans and Tampa Bay. The Panthers rank 23rd place in yards gained and 25th in points scored. In 2011, had the seventh best offense and fifth place in points.

"This team relies heavily on their offense, and this was different from previous years," admitted the veteran receiver Steve Smith. "And we have not done anything consistently that helps our defense has a little more rest in games ... We have been really lethargic, and our defense has been in the field longer than it should."
