1. Panthers are the obvious pick, just about every trend, metric, stat, etc points to the Panthers... and in the NFL we all know how those play out. Especially with heavily bet on road favorites. Remember Steelers vs Jets last year?
2. Since New Orleans has lost their seemingly tremendous home-field advantage, they have only been an underdog at home once, and that game they won outright by 10 against the undefeated overrated road favorite Atlanta Falcons....sound familiar? Saints actually have a reputation for covering against teams with winning road records covering 20 of the last 28 in that situation.
3. Last time these 2 teams played in Carolina just a few weeks ago, Panthers only won by 5 points, failing to cover the spread. And 3 things are different now since then....1. Drew Brees is playing 2. Saints are at home, and 3. Drew Brees is playing. If the Panthers can't beat a struggling Saints with their back up quarterback on the road by a touchdown, then I'm not betting my money on them to do it when they are actually at home with their starting Hall of Fame quarterback who's motivated (and undervalued) off 3 losses and wants revenge on top of that.
But I'm no psychic.....good luck

Lol...since that first matchup what has happen with each team? The saints have fallen apart. With the mighty Drew Brees they scored 6 points vs Houston last week. It was the first time in 5-7 years they did not score a TD. The saints and Drew Bree's are nothing like they use to be. Tell me a matchup where the saints have an advantage? Panthers are on fire right now. I'm not saying it's not possible but i would make it a non play for you I could never bet my money on a team who is so bad on all sides of the ball. Good luck with your bet you will def need a ton.

Every week someone says to take the opposite team vs the Panthers, and every week the Panthers win. Just give in and realize they will probably go 16-0. Pats should have too except for horrendous officiating in the Denver game.

Luke was out with a concussion first game. Panthers were -8, they failed to cover, almost lost, they picked off mccown in the endzone late in the game.

I think Cousin Sal goes 1-2 this week. Strangely enough, the Teaser looks good. ATL gets beat outright by a better Tampa team that just beat ATL in their place a few weeks ago. Nothing has changed in Atlanta. They still turn the ball over a ton and they still can't close games. Atlanta gave up a while ago. Also realize whatever system they have going on, on offense isn't working. Matt Ryan doesn't see 4-5 targets per play, he is locked in on Julio Jones. Hence the interceptions and lack on 1st downs. Tampa Bay is hungrier IMO, and still has a chance to make the playoffs. Atlanta, hasn't shown me anything since before they got crushed by the Saints some Thursdays ago.
I don't recommend betting against Carolina. Vegas is loosing a ton of money on these guys, their schedule is fluff rest of the season. Why do you think they will fold now, against this really awful Saints team? (Drew Brees?) Carolina Team is a 3 stage monster. OFFENSE/DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMS. I live in South Carolina. I have seen every game, I have been betting against these guys the last 3 weeks and have ate CROW. I hope NO beats them, but you have a better chance of getting through a minefield blindfolded on a pogo-stick.
If you take your play, I hope you win. If you head my advice and Carolina crushes then this bud is for you sir. . If I talked you out of a brilliant play, because I can't sleep at 430AM

OVER is the play on CAROLINA IMO. BOL

love the saints here. Bree's at home labeled a 7pt dog? Division game?
Remember you have a proven Superbowl QB.
Even if NO loses, I will lay my money on them to keep it game and cover.
NO scores first...you are down 14pts taking Carolina.
I'm going to offer a friendly piece of advice. You added the statement that if even the Saints lose the game, you expect them to cover. The dirty secret is that since 1989, teams that win the game also cover the spread just over 80% of the time. So you want to try and pick the winner of the game before considering the number. The points are handy in case you think a game will be tight or the number is too large. However, the most pertinent thing you can ask about yourself about the game is which team will end up winning it.
