The Carolina Panthers are entering their home game against the Dallas Cowboys as favorites for the first time in nearly two years, ending a 33-game underdog streak. Coach Dave Canales remains focused on his team's performance rather than external odds.

Quarterback Bryce Young emphasized that being favored doesn't guarantee a win, recalling a previous loss when they were favorites. Meanwhile, the Cowboys are dealing with injuries but have seen running back Rico Dowdle excel in recent games.

Adam Thielen has also emerged as a key player for the Panthers, contributing significantly in recent matchups.
