There’s only one game left to play for the Carolina Panthers this season. They will close out the 2020 campaign at home against the New Orleans Saints, who just clinched their fourth-straight NFC South championship. As expected, New Orleans is a heavy favorite heading into Week 17. According to the latest odds at BetMGM, the Panthers are 6.5-point underdogs against the Saints for this matchup.
New Orleans is coming off a convincing Christmas Day revenge game against the Minnesota Vikings. Alvin Kamara rolled behind a dominant offensive line, scoring six rushing touchdowns in a 52-33 victory. That brings their record on the season to 11-4, one game behind the Green Bay Packers for the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
Meanwhile, Carolina just beat the Washington Football Team, improving to 5-10 in the process. They lost earlier in the season to New Orleans, though. If they somehow manage to win this time, they’ll match our preseason 6-10 prediction.
