The Saints are entering this game with a 5-7 record overall and they have a 1-2 record in their divisional games too. They are 2-3 in their home games, 3-4 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game. They lost their last game against the Detroit Lions 33-28. Derek Carr was the starting QB and he completed 17/22 passes for 226 passing yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception.

The current betting odds have the Panthers listed as a 5.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Panthers have looked terrible this season with their 1-11 record overall which is the worst record in the league and they are the only team to already be eliminated from the playoffs this year as of right now. They have looked a lot better in their games lately though with much closer losses and they looked a lot better in their game last week, their 1st game since firing their head coach. Meanwhile, the Saints haven't looked any better this season with their 5-7 record overall and they have even struggled in their home games with their 2-3 home record. The Saints do have a really good defense but they haven't been playing at their best lately and their offense has also been struggling to put up points all season. The Panthers don't have a draft pick next year as the Bears own it so they have nothing to tank for this season and they will be looking to play spoiler in this game. Even if the Saints do squeak out another win on their home field, it won't be by much in another close game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Panthers to cover the spread in this game. 

Panthers Saints Prediction:  Our NFL Pick for Sunday, December 10, 2023 (1:00 pm ET start time) is Saints 20 Panthers 17.

“I love those guys. I feel for them. Losing stinks and it's hard and it's frustrating. But at the same time, you can handle things two ways, and that's what we talked about. You can either handle it with character or you can handle it with compromise. So which is it going to be? I like our guys. We'll just keep working.” - Chris Tabor after his team’s loss against the Bucs in their last game. 

“Any time you have a concussion, it’s concerning." - Dennis Allen on Derek Carr after his team’s loss against the Lions in their last game.
