Why the Saints can cover
New Orleans has faced a difficult schedule over the past month, playing a pair of single-digit divisional road games before losing to Detroit in a 33-28 final last week. Saints quarterback Derek Carr was knocked out of last week's game due to an injury, but he practiced in a limited capacity earlier this week and has been cleared to play.
The Saints can also rely on running back Alvin Kamara, who has rushed for 508 yards and four touchdowns this season, with two of those scores coming against the Lions last week. He is facing a Carolina team that has the worst record in the league and is wrapping up a three-game road trip. The Panthers have only covered the spread three times in their last 10 games.
Why the Panthers can cover
While New Orleans has won 10 of the last 14 meetings between these teams, Carolina has covered at an 8-3-1 clip in the last 12 matchups. The Panthers have not succumbed to the atmosphere at Caesars Superdome, covering in five of their last six visits. New Orleans has let bettors down at home all season, going winless against the spread in its last seven home games.
In addition, Panthers rookie quarterback Bryce Young continues to gain valuable experience, eclipsing 2,000 passing yards on the season last week at Tampa Bay. Running back Chuba Hubbard is coming off his best performance of the campaign, rushing for 104 yards and two touchdowns against the Buccaneers. Carolina has only lost one of its last four games by more than one score, making the Panthers valuable underdogs. See which team to pick here.
