The Carolina Panthers host the Dallas Cowboys at Bank of America Stadium on Sunday, December 15, and Carolina is a favorite for the first time since 2022.

Read along as my top Cowboys vs. Panthers predictions and same-game parlay NFL picks expect Dallas to pull off the road upset.

Cowboys vs Panthers same-game parlay for Week 15

Cowboys moneyline

Chuba Hubbard Over 80.5 rushing yards

Brandon Aubrey Over 1.5 field goals

It’s easy to forget that Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush is 7-4 as a starter during his career (2-3 in 2024), and the Cowboys have won two of their past three while looking much sharper on defense. 

Dallas has surrendered the third-lowest EPA per play and second-lowest EPA per dropback while generating four turnovers during the stretch. Head coach Mike McCarthy and the rest of the Dallas brass still have plenty on the line, and I’m not expecting them to be looking past a Carolina Panthers team that has lost three in a row. 

An injury-riddled Carolina backfield has running back Chuba Hubbard set up to be busy again in Week 15. He rushed 26 times last week against Philadelphia, and it was the third time this season that he handled 20+ carries.

Hubbard is also averaging an impressive 4.7 yards per tote, including career highs in yards after contact per attempt (3.4) and breakaway percentage (28.5%). Meanwhile, the Cowboys have surrendered the highest EPA per rush and rank 30th in PFF run defense grade and 29th in run-stop win rate.

Turning to the final leg of this same-game parlay, Dallas kicker Brandon Aubrey has connected for two or more field goals in 11 of 13 games this season and 22-of-30 for his career. Additionally, the Panthers are tied for the third most field goals allowed (seven) over the past three weeks, and Carolina is tied for the seventh-most field goals against this season.

A huge supporter of the Cowboys, Cubs, and Maple Leafs, he has managed to parlay his passion into writing gigs with Sportsbook Review, USA TODAY, theScore, DraftKings Playbook, and RotoWire, among many others. He also co-hosted the Daily Fantasy Edge podcast and can now be seen offering expert golf and hockey advice on Covers’ Before you Bet broadcast.

Neil takes a numbers-based approach to his handicapping and complements his in-depth statistical analysis with a keen eye on the markets to provide the best available odds. He loves to lean on his rolodex of idioms to offset his inner nerd. When it comes to wagering, he throws down on anything that catches his eye at bet365, Betway and BetVictor. He also keeps a close eye on CoolBet because the polar bear brand often has outlier NHL and NFL moneyline prices.

Neil graduated with honors from St. Thomas University in 2007 before completing his BEd at Acadia University in 2010. After teaching a myriad of courses and subjects, he found a groove delivering fun lessons to exceptional learners in non-traditional classroom environments. If his decade-plus teaching run taught him anything about sports betting, it’s to stay the course and use the summer – or offseason – to refresh and prepare to be better in the year to come.

Neil’s top pieces of advice for recreational bettors are to stay within your means and to remember sportsbooks aren’t bank accounts. Don’t be afraid to pull those winnings and treat yourself to a lifetime experience courtesy of a big win.
