The Carolina Panthers are coming off of a two-week winning streak, if you count getting healthier over their bye while the Bucs also lost as a win. This has them facing the New Orleans Saints as a rare favorite. That worked out so well for them the first time around.
Panthers: -2.5 (-112)
Saints: +2.5 (-108)
39.5 (-110/-110)
Panthers: -142
Saints: +120
It has been a minute since the Carolina Panthers have won a game that they were favored in, one of the few events more rare than them being favored at all. The pressure will be on for this game as a win over the Saints who just beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could both cement their position atop the NFC South and their status as contenders in the playoffs.
It has been so far so bad for Bryce Young and Dave Canales in high pressure games. The good news for them is that this isn’t for all the marbles, just for control of the playoff race. Win or lose, the division will still likely come down to the Panthers Week 16 and Week 18 dates with the Bucs.
