Drew Brees continues to get the job done as the starting quarterback in New Orleans. The quarterback is tossing for more than 267 yards per game. Alvin Kamara has come into the league and been terrific, along with Mark Ingram. Those two are combining for just shy of 150 yards per game on the ground, while Kamara is the pass catching back out of the back field. The Saints also have Michael Thomas, who needs 195 yards to reach 1,000.

Carolina Looking for Revenge

The first time these two teams played, the Saints came to Carolina and whipped the Panthers. Carolina has been playing better football since that point, and look to get revenge and take over as divisional leaders. Unless one of the two teams falls big time down the stretch, both these teams should be in the postseason.

The Panthers have seen their quarterback Cam Newton throw for 2,400 yards on 211 of 350. The problem with Newton this season has been the interception. The signal caller has thrown 11 interceptions to 14 touchdowns. The Panthers top target has been Devin Funchess, who has caught 50 passes for 643 yards and 5 touchdowns. The Panthers still see Jonathan Stewart leading the run game, but Christian McCaffrey gets a great chunk of action as well.

Saints Sweep Panthers

The New Orleans Saints are really good when they play at home. Drew Brees has had some outstanding games in New Orleans. This looks like one of those games. While the spread is 4 points, the Saints still win and cover the spread. Look for Carolina to give them a good game, likely better than the first meeting, but the final bet has to go to the Saints. Bet on the New Orleans Saints -4 over the Carolina Panthers.
