First look: New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers odds and lines

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The New Orleans Saints (2-6) meet the Carolina Panthers (1-7) in a Week 9 battle on Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we look at Saints vs. Panthers odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds before making our expert NFL picks and predictions later in the week.

The Saints started out like a ball of fire, going for 44 or more points in each of the first 2 games behind QB Derek Carr. That includes a 47-10 pounding of the Panthers in Week 1 in New Orleans as a 3.5-point favorite as the Over (41.5) cashed.

Carr went down to injury in a Week 5 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, and the team hasn’t won since. They’ve dropped 6 in a row, and the offense has managed 45 total points in the past 3 games with a combination of QBs Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener.

The Panthers turned back to QB Bryce Young last week in Denver, as QB Andy Dalton suffered a sprained thumb in a minor fender bender during the week. Carolina lost 28-14, failing to cover as a 13-point ‘dog, as the Over (40) cashed. The Panthers have dropped 5 in a row.
