Week 3 Odds: Panthers vs Saints

Can the Panthers cover the spread?

The Carolina Panthers return home to Bank of America Stadium this Sunday for its first divisional game of the year against the New Orleans Saints. Despite losing the first two games of the season, head coach Matt Rhule believes this team is "close" to getting over the hump and reminded his team that they have yet to play an NFC South game and that there was a lot of football left to be played.
