Panthers vs Saints Prediction
New Orleans comes into this matchup looking to snap their four game losing streak, but they have scored a total of 27 points in their last three games. The Saints are one of the worst teams in the NFL and I don’t believe in Shough at quarterback. Carolina is currently above .500 and they have won four of their last five games, but they can’t afford to lose this one. The Panthers are 3-1 at home so far this year and I think their defense will have a very solid outing here. Take Carolina to cover at home.
