Panthers at Saints Week 13
The Carolina Panthers will be going for their fifth consecutive win when they travel to Louisiana to take on the New Orleans Saints. The game will be played at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, and is scheduled to begin at 4:25 PM. ET for NFL Week 13 wagering.
Carolina Panthers Analysis
The Panthers have been one of the most unpredictable teams this year, but they still find ways to win. On Sunday, they withstood one of the worst games quarterback Cam Newton ever had, and were still able to get the win over the New York Jets.
Unfortunately for Carolina, they aren’t playing the Jets this week and they will have to be at their best if they want to defeat the Saints.
Despite Newton’s struggles, the Panthers were able to get solid production from their running backs and timely stops from their defense, which helped them get the win.
The Panthers were embarrassed by the Saints in their first meeting, losing 34-13, so they will be trying to get some pay back in this one.
New Orleans Saints Analysis
The Saints had won eight consecutive games before losing to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Now, they will try to get back to their winning ways against a rival they defeated on the road earlier this season.
The Saints have been very solid on both sides of the ball this season, which is one of the reasons they have been so successful this year. However, quarterback Drew Brees finally has a solid running game to compliment the passing attack, giving them their most balanced offense in a while.
Rookie running back Alvin Kamara has been special for the Saints, and almost helped them complete a comeback against the Rams, finishing with 188 yards from scrimmage and 2 touchdowns.
The Saints will be expecting Kamara to give the Panthers defense fits on Sunday to help them get the win.
Pick and Prediction
The Saints are favored to win this game by 3.5 points. The over/under on total points scored is not yet available.
The Saints will be tough to beat, but the Panthers have enough talent to do so. Take Carolina +3.5.
