With only a few weeks left before the official NFL season kicks off, the Panthers' odds are on the move.

After opening with a win total of 4.5, that line for Carolina has moved to 5.5.

According to John Ewing at BetMGM, that's the only win-total increase in the NFL so far this year.

But professional bettor Adam Chernoff warned gamblers earlier this summer that the Panthers might be headed toward a more promising 2024 — despite finishing 2023 with a franchise-low two wins.

"I think [the Panthers] are a fringe NFC wild card team," Chernoff said on " The Herd ."

" Bryce Young [is] in a much better position with the modern coaching staff that is coming in, led by Dave Canales.

"Last year, [Canales] revived Baker Mayfield — another QB that everybody wrote off. I think it's a great coaching staff and an organization that's going to compete for that spot as a wild card in the NFC.

"Very bullish on the Panthers this season."
