Carolina Panthers vs New Orleans Saints Prediction
The Saints are coming off a nice win over the Bucs, but they haven’t won back-to-back games since November of last year. The Saints have one of the worst offenses in the league, and their defense has issues stopping the run. The Panthers have issues of their own, but they’ve been finding ways to win games, and they’re in the thick of the NFC South race. The Panthers have also had an extra week to prepare for this game.
Oddly enough, the Panthers have failed to cover each of their last 11 games as a favorite. So, you can make a case for the Saints and the points. We’re still getting a soft number with a team that’s had more success, has something to play for, and has a rest advantage. Give me the Panthers.
