Saints vs. Panthers picks against the spreadBlake Schuster: New Orleans Saints (+2.5)
The Saints may have found something in rookie tailback Devin Neal. At least enough to keep a division game close.
Jon Hoefling: Carolina Panthers (-2.5)
One of these teams is riding high after a shocking win over the Bucs. The other is playing for a division title. The Saints will come back to Earth this week.
Tyler Dragon: Carolina Panthers (-2.5)
The Panthers are in contention for an NFC South title. They won’t let the opportunity slip away in New Orleans.
Jordan Mendoza: Carolina Panthers (-2.5)
Can New Orleans show it potentially has something under Tyler Shough? Carolina is coming off the bye week hot and it continues to hit its stride.
Christopher Bumbaca: New Orleans Saints (+2.5)
The Panthers have lost 11 straight games in which they entered as the favorite. No reason to overthink this one.
Lorenzo Reyes: Carolina Panthers (-2.5)
I would stay away from this game, though the Panthers, who just had their bye, are the more consistent team. The Saints did just pull off the upset against the Bucs, but it’s hard to see them doing it twice in a row.
