Panthers vs Saints Prediction
In this Panthers vs Saints prediction, New Orleans is coming in as a -2.5 favorite at home. The two teams have the exact same record this season and neither one has looked good lately. New Orleans has gone 2-4 over its last 6 games and 1-5 against the spread in that stretch, and it has only one home win all season. Carolina has lost three in a row without covering in any of them and even though its offense has been better than New Orleans’ overall, it is scoring just 17.6 points per game over those last three. The history is not on Carolina’s side either, it is 1-5 in the last 6 meetings between the two and it lost each of its last three trips to New Orleans. I’m taking New Orleans and laying the small number in this one.
