In this article, we will formulate a Carolina Panthers vs New Orleans Saints Prediction for this NFL Week 8 game on Sunday, November 3rd, at the Bank of America Stadium.
Saints are Really Struggling
The Saints are really struggling right now, and coming into this game they have lost five games in a row. One of the biggest issue for the Saints has been injuries, but it’s not been the only problem that this team has run into. In the last game, the Saints faced off against the Chargers, and they ended up losing 26-8. Spencer Rattler completed 12 of his 24 passes for 156 yards. Without Derek Carr, this team has so many issues moving the ball. Carr is still dealing with the oblique injury, and it’s unclear heading into this game if he’s going to be able to go in this game.
The Saints are averaging 23.1 points per game, while their defense is giving up 25.8 points per game. The offense is ranked 17th in the league, while the defense is ranked 25th best in the league. In this game, the Saints’ offense has to find a way to move the ball, no matter who is under center.

Panthers Are Playing for the Draft
The Panthers are playing for the draft, and they are coming off another terrible game in the last game. In the last game they turned back to Bryce Young because of injury, and he moved the ball, but he continued to make dumb mistakes. The Panthers faced off against the Denver Broncos and they lost 28-14. Young completed 24 of his 37 passes for 224 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. Jalen Coker finished with four catches for 78 yards and a touchdown.
It’s unclear if they are going to turn back to Andy Dalton here, but the offense needs to not turn the ball over. The Panthers are averaging 15.5 points, while their defense is giving up 33.8 points per game. The offense is ranked 29th in the league, while the defense is ranked 32nd.
Carolina Panthers vs New Orleans Saints Prediction
The Panthers and Saints are both going to really struggle to get the offense going. It doesn’t matter who starts for the Panthers, they are averaging only 15.5 points, and they are going to really struggle to get going. The Saints’ offense is going to get terrible quarterback play again, and this game is going to end up staying well under the total. 30 points is going to be tough to get. Back the under.
