Panthers at Saints picks and predictions

Prediction

Saints 31, Panthers 10

Moneyline

PASS.

At -275, there is no profit to be made betting on a Saints team that is looking to get back in the win column against the Panthers, who have just 1 win this season and zero on the road.

Against the spread

LEAN SAINTS -6 (-110).

Both teams have struggled ATS this season with the Panthers sporting a 2-8-2 ATS record and the Saints sporting a 2-9-1 ATS record. However, the Saints have won by more than 6 points in each of their last 3 wins, while the Panthers have lost by more than 7 points in 8 of their 11 losses this season.

Over/Under

BET OVER 39 (-110).

The Saints have hit the Over in 4 of their last 6 weeks, and their last 6 games have had 39 or more total points scored. This Over will be dependent on the Saints carrying the majority of the load, which is likely. New Orleans has scored at least 24 points in 4 of its last 6 games while giving up at least 17 over that stretch.
