To say New Orleans (2-6) and Carolina (1-7) are each struggling would be the understatement of the year. The Panthers lone win was in Week 3. The Saints started the season with 2 straight wins including a thumping of Carolina in Week 1 but have lost 6 straight since.
Carolina’s issues are simple. They are 29th in the NFL in Total Offense and their defense, ranked 31st overall, is allowing points at an all-time record pace. The only thing keeping their defense from landing at #32 is the Saints’ defense is worse. New Orleans is allowing nearly 400 yards per game. Their offense started the year looking like an elite unit, but they have been in a free fall of late and have plummeted over the last 6 games to 22nd in the NFL.
Searching for good news with either of these clubs? Each may well get a sizable upgrade at the quarterback position this Sunday with Derek Carr (oblique) likely to start for New Orleans after missing three weeks and Andy Dalton (thumb) potentially back a week after being sidelined by a car accident.
Certainly, confirm the starting QBs before wagering on this contest. In the interim, here’s some info to help you make your wagering decisions.

Game odds for Saints @ Panthers
The latest odds as of Wednesday courtesy of DraftKings:
- Moneyline: New Orleans Saints (-310), Carolina Panthers (+250)
- Spread: Saints -7

This line sits right where it opened but the Total has dropped 1.5 points. Is that due to the question marks re: starting QBs for each side? Carr and Dalton are obviously more formidable than Rattler and Young.
