Saints vs Panthers Prediction
The current betting odds have the Saints listed as a 7 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Saints have looked terrible in their games this season with their 2-6 record overall which has them near the bottom of the NFC South with one of the worst records in the NFL. They have looked terrible over the last few weeks as they have been dealing with injuries and now they are coming off another bad loss to the Chargers in their last one. They have been getting healthier though and there is a chance that Derek Carr plays this week and that will give a huge boost to this offense that could really use Carr back in the lineup. Meanwhile, the Panthers have also looked terrible in their games this season with their 1-7 record overall which has them at the bottom of the NFC South with the worst record in the entire NFL. They are 0-2 in the division too and 1 of those losses was a blowout loss to the Saints earlier this season. Bryce Young is back at QB for the Panthers and he looked better last week after sitting behind Andy Dalton a few weeks, but they still lost by 14 to the Broncos. The offense has looked bad for the Panthers, but the defense has also been terrible as they are giving up tons of points in their games. This Panthers team has a lot more problems than just Bryce Young and the offense so this is a great get right game for the Saints as they start to get healthier. The best way to place a bet here is on the Saints to cover the spread in this game.
