With legalized gambling slowly spreading from sea to shining sea https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/hats , odds will emerge for just about anything. Now that the 2019 schedule has been released, odds have been set regarding the last team to be unbeaten.Based on odds from the DraftKings Sportsbook, via Darren Rovell, the often slow-starting Patriots are surprising favorites to go unbeaten the longest, at +750 (bet $100 to win $750). The longest odds belong to the Bengals, at +12500.The Chiefs come in second, at +900. The Chargers Carolina Panthers Hoodie , Rams, Seahawks, and Eagles are +1100 each.Here’s a sneaky attractive pick, given the odds: The Panthers at +2500. If quarterback Cam Newton fully recovers from should surgery (indications are that he will), the Panthers will be hard to handle — especially at home. They open with the Rams in Carolina; if the Panthers can get to 1-0 by taking down the defending NFC champs, that boost of confidence can carry over to wins against Tampa Bay at home, Arizona on the road Luke Kuechly Color Rush Jersey , the Texans in Houston, the Jaguars at home, and then the Bucs in London.That’s six games. After the bye, the Panthers go to San Francisco, host the Titans, and travel to Green Bay.Ultimately, the identity of the last team standing depends on when the others fall C.J. Anderson Jersey , but Vegas doesn’t believe in the Panthers the way it should, and the notion of a healthy and motivated Cam carrying the Panthers to a strong start isn’t as ludicrous as 25-1 would suggest. CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — All it took for the Carolina Panthers to land All-Pro defensive tackle Gerald McCoy was a one-year deal worth up to $10.25 million — and a vegan lunch with some future teammates.When some of Carolina’s core players heard general manager Marty Hurney was considering signing the free agent defensive tackle, they organized a lunch at a local vegan restaurant during McCoy’s visit to Charlotte last week knowing the 31-year-old McCoy had given up eating meat five months ago.Luke Kuechly, Greg Olsen, Kawann Short, Shaq Thompson Russell Color Rush Shepard Jersey , Trai Turner and Christian McCaffrey all attended the lunch, hoping to convince their former division rival to sign with Carolina rather than the Baltimore Ravens or Cleveland Browns, the other two teams who were courting the six-time Pro Bowler.It worked better than the Panthers could have imagined.McCoy said the lunch — and camaraderie he noticed with the players — was a big reason why he signed with the Panthers.“Instant chemistry,” McCoy said Tuesday at an introductory news conference.McCoy said it felt as if he was back in high school again being recruited by Oklahoma.He recognized that the players could have been doing something else, but said it felt special that they showed up to give him a sales pitch and eat at a restaurant they normally wouldn’t visit.“I left that lunch feeling I could fit right in here,” McCoy said.The 31-year-old McCoy has been one of the better players at his position over the past nine seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and is the only NFL defensive tackle with at least six sacks in each of the past six seasons. He has 296 tackles and 54½ sacks during his career.Hurney said in a statement that “it’s great to have Gerald on our side now. We are very familiar with his skillset.”McCoy likes being on the same team as quarterback Cam Newton instead of chasing the former 2015 league MVP around the field twice a year.He’s admired Newton from a distance Jordan Scarlett Jersey , calling him “the best escape artist in the league.”McCoy’s son is a big fan of Newton too, always using him to play on Madden football.McCoy isn’t worried about where he will fit in on Carolina’s defensive line, one that will rotate between a three- and four-man front this year.“In this league you have to be a Swiss army knife,” McCoy said. “And (defensive coordinator) Eric Washington has a great plan in place where we can move guys around.”McCoy said he’s a loyal team player.At Oklahoma he supported his school by going to volleyball, basketball and baseball games.That said, he doesn’t seem to have any ill feelings toward the Bucs jettisoning him after nine seasons and quickly giving away his No. 93 jersey to replacement Ndamukong Suh.“Business is business,” McCoy said. In 2012 Peyton Manning was released by the Colts. At that point https://www.carolinapanthersfanshop.com/Christian-Miller-Jersey , my perspective on this league changed. If you can let a person like Peyton Manning go, then anybody can be released. It’s a business.”
