The Saints are entering this game with a 3-5 record overall and they have a 0-1 record in their divisional games too. They are 1-3 in their home games, 2-1 in their road games, and they are also 0-1 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game. They won their last game against the Cleveland Browns 23-22 in OT. Tyler Shough was the starting QB and he completed 21/35 passes for 265 passing yards, 1 touchdown, and 0 interceptions. Audric Estime led the team in rushing yards with 72 and 1 TD. Chris Olave led the receivers with 98 receiving yards on 7 receptions. Pete Werner and Kaden Elliss each led the defense in that game with 11 solo tackles while Carl Granderson led the defense in sacks with 2.

The current betting odds have the Saints listed as a 1.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Saints haven't looked good in their games this season with their 3-5 record overall, but that record has them right near the top of the NFC South in a bad division. They haven't looked great on their home field either with their 1-3 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Panthers haven't looked good in their games this season with their 3-5 record overall, but that record has them right at the top of the NFC South in a bad division. They haven't been a great road team either with their 2-2 road record this year. The Panthers had a nice start to the season and they are still leading the division, but lately they have been falling apart. Their offense was rolling to start the year, putting up a ton of points with Bryce Young looking good, but lately that good offense has disappeared. Young hasn't looked nearly as good lately as the offense has been struggling and even when their offense was playing well, their defense was still bad and has been one of the worst defenses in the NFL. They are coming off a 26-21 loss to the Broncos in their last one and their defense made a struggling Broncos offense look good. The Saints haven't looked any better this season and have also had one of the worst defenses in the NFL, but lately that defense has looked a lot better. They went into their bye week off a good defensive game, losing to the Steelers 16-10 in France, and they looked a lot better coming out of their bye week in their 23-22 win over the Browns last week. The offense has taken a turn lately, having a lot of trouble, but they did have a great offense to start the season and have some momentum on their side from that win. This is also a big game since the Saints can actually be leading the division with a win here, so look for them to bring their best effort against a Panthers team that hasn't looked good lately. The best way to place a bet here is on the Saints to cover the spread in this game.

“No matter what, if the ball is in my hands we need to have it the next play. I take accountability for that. Good moment, we’re rolling, and then for it to be cut abrupt, again, I take accountability for that. We have to find a way to get it done in a moment like that.” - Bryce Young after their loss against the Broncos in their last game. 

“He was able to contribute and make some positive plays. We’re going to have to protect the football, but he’ll get to learn from that.” - Kellen Moore on Jordan Tyson after his team’s win against the Browns in their last game.
