Spread & Over/Under Predictions for Panthers at Saints

Can the Panthers cover the spread?

Each week, we at All Panthers will release an article on our thoughts on the spread and the over/under of Carolina Panther games. The star ratings next to the play describe the overall confidence in that particular play.

Star ratings:

1 Star - Not very confident

2 Star - A little confident

3 Star - Fairly confident

4 Star - Very confident

5 Star - Should be a lock to happen

Spread: Saints -5.5

1 Star play on the Panthers covering (+5.5): Carolina keeps games close thanks to its defense. New Orleans keeps games close because of its offense being so stagnant. As bad as the Panthers have been this season, it's hard for me to lay 5.5 with New Orleans. This has the makings of another really tight game. I'll take the points.

Over/Under: 37.5

1 Star play on the over: Prior to last week, the Panthers failed score more than 15 points in a game for five weeks straight. There were signs last week of this group figuring it out a little bit, particularly on the ground where Chuba Hubbard went over 100 yards. Carolina is well overdue to go for 20+. I think they do which helps us get up and over the number.

My picks this season:

ATS: 5-7 (42%)

O/U: 6-6 (50%)

Overall: 11-13 (46%)
