Spread & Over/Under Predictions for Panthers vs. 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 -2.5

3 Star play on the Panthers covering: Carolina has done well in these early season home matchups against the Saints winning four of the last five home games against New Orleans in the month of September, including two straight. Plus, it's not like the Saints impressed in last week's win over Tennessee. They forced three turnovers, yet scored just 16 points. I'll take the Panthers plus the points here.

Over/Under: 39.5

4 Star play on the under: The Saints are on a terrific run defensively, allowing 20 or fewer points in nine consecutive games, dating back to last season. Considering the question marks along Carolina's offensive line and the lack of a downfield passing attack, the Panthers will have their work cut out for them. On the flip side, the Saints' offensive line really underwhelmed in Week 1 and if the Panthers win in the trenches, this one should have no trouble staying under.

My picks this season:

ATS: 1-0

O/U: 1-0
