-3.7
vs market (Earl \u2212 line)
Carolina's rating sits at -4.818 points, and that -6.99 weekly drop is the loudest number here — this team is trending hard in the wrong direction despite a manageable -0.175 strength of schedule. The last-five profile (22.8 PPG scored, 19.4 allowed, +0.113 EPA per play) is better than a 2-3 record suggests, so the market's -3.66 vs_market gap looks like an overcorrection — I'd buy low on CAR as an underdog rather than lay points with them. The Jaelan Phillips and Thomas Incoom absences are already baked into the rating dock, so don't double-count them.
