At press, <a href=\"https:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/football\/nfl-futures\">NFL Futures<\/a> list the Giants at +1,200 to win the NFC East while the Panthers are priced at +250 to take the NFC South.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read on for a preview of this intriguing matchup below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/topbet.eu\/signup\">Click here to sign up and make your NFL Week 5 picks<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/football\/nfl\">Already a Member?

That said, the Giants can\u2019t seem to find a way to utilize both of them perfectly, as what their 18.2 points per game average. That\u2019s the fourth-worst mark in the NFL thus far this season. That\u2019s not to mention that the Giants are 25<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with 314.2 total yards per game. In Week 4\u2019s 33-18 home loss to the New Orleans Saints at home, Eli Manning went 31 of 41 for 255 passing yards and a touchdown. Barkley only had 44 rushing yards and a touchdown on 10 carries, while Beckham only had 60 receiving yards on seven receptions. With tight end Evan Engram still not expected to return due to an MCL sprain, the Giants\u2019 offense has a grim outlook ahead of their showdown with the defensive-minded Panthers team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Giants, however, have covered the spread in two of their last four games as an underdog by seven points or fewer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Betting on the Carolina Panthers (2-1)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Panthers are coming into this coming Sunday\u2019s date with the Giants as a well-rested team. Cam Newton and company are fresh off a bye in Week 4, which came after a 31-21 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3. Beating and limiting the high-powered offense of the Bengals is a loud and clear warning for the Giants\u2019 offense that\u2019s still trying to figure out a way to get it together. In the Bengals game, the Panthers picked Andy Dalton off four times and sacked him twice for a loss of 22 yards. Eli Manning could have a long day next week against this Panthers\u2019 stop unit that is averaging 2.o takeaways per game \u2013 sixth in the NFL so far this season. Carolina\u2019s pass rush is also 12<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the league with a 7.21 percent sack rate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Panthers are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Writer\u2019s Prediction <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carolina wins, 26-17.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/topbet.eu\/signup\">Click here to sign up and make your NFL Week 5 picks<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/football\/nfl\">Already a Member?
