Two of our best metrics apply here. Our true line (previously known as outlaw line) is Carolina -2. The true line is what the line would be without public perception or bad line moves.

Also, this is a sharp versus square, which is when our Vegas, offshore, and outlaw contacts tell us the majority of sharp money is betting one team, the square money the other. We go with the smart money as contrarian betting is used by many professional gamblers.
