What the ESPN FPI Says About the Panthers' Chances Against New Orleans

Can Carolina finish out the season on a strong note?

After sluggish starts to the season, the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints have rallied to finish the 2022 season the right way. Unfortunately, the rallies came a bit late as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were crowned NFC South champions following Sunday's win over Carolina.

It may be a meaningless game to some, but for these two, it's an opportunity to continue that momentum into next season. The Saints are winners of three straight and are coming off a 20-10 win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Panthers have won three of its last five with both losses being by just one score. A win over New Orleans this week would give Carolina its first season sweep over a division opponent since 2017 and its first sweep of the Saints since 2015.

According to the ESPN FPI, the Panthers have a 40.2% chance to win while the Saints have a 59.3% chance.
