New York Giants vs. Carolina Panthers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s New York Giants vs. Carolina Panthers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The New York Giants (2-7) meet the Carolina Panthers (2-7) Sunday for a Week 10 matchup at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. Kickoff is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. ET (NFL Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Giants vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Giants were on the short end of a 27-22 score at home in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders, and New York has now lost and failed to cover in each of the previous 4 outings.

The 22 points scored in Week 9 were the most for the G-Men since a 29-20 win in Week 5 at Seattle. The Over has cashed in the past 2 games after allowing 26.5 PPG.

New York last appeared in an international game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Oct. 9, 2022, topping the Green Bay Packers 27-22. The G-Men are 3-0 all-time in International Series games, averaging 19.0 PPG while allowing just 14.0 PPG.

Carolina scored a rare 23-22 win last week in Charlotte against the division rival New Orleans Saints. That halted a 5-game loss and non-cover skid dating back to Week 3. The Over has cashed in 2 in a row, and 6 of the past 7 outings.

For the Panthers, this is just their second-ever International Series game. They topped the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Oct. 13, 2019 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Giants vs. Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Panthers 23, Giants 19

Moneyline

The PANTHERS (+220) are a tempting play for the opportunity to multiply your initial wager by more than 2 times.

QB Bryce Young had one of his best days as a pro last time out against the Saints, and RB Chuba Hubbard, fresh off a contract extension, has been running the ball with authority lately. Even the Carolina defense wasn’t total trash last week after struggling most of the season.

Against the spread

If you’re a little less adventurous, PANTHERS +6.5 (-110) is still a good play. That’s a lot of points, as the Giants -6.5 (-110) have no business laying this many points to anybody.

Carolina comes in with more momentum after the victory last week, and really, these teams are near mirrors of each other.

Over/Under

OVER 40.5 (-110) is worth playing lightly, but don’t go overboard.

Carolina has cashed high in 7 of 9 games this season, with the defense conceding 26 or more points in 7 outings. The Panthers are dead-last in the NFL with 391.9 total yards per game allowed, 159.3 rushing yards per game and 32.6 points allowed per contest.

New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The New Orleans Saints (2-6) meet the Carolina Panthers (1-7) on Sunday for a Week 9 matchup at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Saints vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Saints were humbled 26-8 on the road against the LA Chargers in Week 8, losing for the 6th consecutive game. New Orleans is also 0-4 against the spread (ATS) since a cover at Atlanta in Week 4.

The good news for New Orleans is that QB Derek Carr (oblique) is expected to play after leaving the Week 5 game in Kansas City due to an oblique injury. He has missed the past 3 games, while QBs Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener have managed to total 18 points in the past 2 outings.

The Panthers are back to QB Bryce Young for a second straight week. He made the start last week after QB Andy Dalton suffered a sprained thumb in a minor fender bender during the week. Young tossed 2 TDs in a 28-14 loss in Denver.

These teams met in Week 1, with the Saints rolling up a 47-10 beatdown of the Panthers as a 3.5-point favorite in the Caesars Superdome.

Saints at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Saints 26, Panthers 18

Moneyline

The Saints (-350) will set you back 3 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not nearly enough return. Backing such a heavy favorite on the road is not a recommended long-term betting strategy, either as a straight-up bet or as part of a multi-leg parlay.

PASS.

Against the spread

The SAINTS -7 (-110) are the lean, but go with a half-unit play at best.

New Orleans pasted Carolina in Week 1 down in the Big Easy, but that was when everyone was healthy. Carr is back, which is great news, but WR Rashid Shaheed was lost for the season during the QB’s absence. Carr and Shaheed hooked up for the first TD of the season against the Panthers on a long pass play.

The Saints offense is a bit dinged up, but it should still be able to do enough, especially with Kamara leading the way, to get the job done.

Over/Under

OVER 43.5 (-110) is also worth playing very lightly.

Carr and the offense should be able to pick up plenty of points against a very giving Carolina defense, although it wouldn’t be surprising to see some rust early on from the New Orleans signal caller.

Still, the Over has cashed in 6 of 8 games for Carolina this season, including 2-1 in 3 home games at Bank of America Stadium.

Carolina Panthers at Denver Broncos odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Carolina Panthers at Denver Broncos odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Carolina Panthers (1-6) and the Denver Broncos (4-3) meet for a Week 8 game at Empower Field at Mile High Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Panthers vs. Broncos odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Panthers were waffled 40-7 against the Washington Commanders last weekend, dropping a 4th straight game under QB Andy Dalton. The latter suffered a sprained thumb in a fender bender earlier this week, so the team will switch back to QB Bryce Young for Sunday’s game.

It’s a tough spot for Carolina and Young, no matter who is under center. The Denver Broncos pass defense ranks fifth in the NFL, and WR Diontae Johnson will be sidelined with a rib injury. That is going to make a tough matchup even worse for Young and the Panthers pass attack.

The Broncos have been rolling along under rookie QB Bo Nix, however, winning 4 of the past 5 games, while also going 4-1 against the spread (ATS). That including a 2-0 SU/ATS mark in 2 tries against NFC South teams so far this season, averaging 29.5 PPG in those games, while allowing just 8.5 PPG.

Panthers at Broncos picks and predictions

Prediction

Broncos 36, Panthers 9

Moneyline

The Broncos (-600) should roll in this game against the injury-depleted and toothless Panthers (+450) pass attack.

Carolina’s defense is terrible, but you can never risk 6 times your potential return, especially in an NFL game. That’s just not a recommended betting strategy over the long term.

PASS.

Against the spread

The BRONCOS -11 (-110) are a rare double-digit favorite this season. Denver is a strong play, however, as it has handled its business in 2 previous wins and covers against the NFC South Division.

Nix and the Broncos pass attack is rolling, and it should find very little resistance in the aerial game, or on the ground, against the Panthers. The Carolina defense is historically bad, allowing 162.7 rushing yards and 34.7 PPG, both of which are last in the NFL.

Over/Under

OVER 41 (-110) is a strong look, and it’s possible Denver does most of the heavy lifting to get this across the finish line. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Denver keep Carolina to single digits, while still getting the total Over.

The Panthers defense has allowed 34 or more points in 4 straight games, and we’ve seen the Over cash in 4 of the previous 5 outings.

For the Broncos, they head into play with a 3-game Over run.

Carolina Panthers at Washington Commanders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Carolina Panthers at Washington Commanders odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Carolina Panthers (1-5) meet the Washington Commanders (4-2) meet for a Week 7 game at Northwest Stadium Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Panthers vs. Commanders odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Panthers have dropped 3 in a row since their lone victory in QB Andy Dalton‘s 1st start in Week 3 againstnthe Las Vegas Raiders. Carolina is also 0-3 against the spread (ATS) in the skid, while cashing the Over in 4 in a row, and in 5 of 6 games this season.

The Commanders had their 4-game winning streak halted last week at the Baltimore Ravens, but they pushed as a 7-point underdog at most shops, while cashing as a 7.5-point ‘dog at others. Like Carolina, the Over has hit in 4 straight, and in 5 of 6 games this season.

Washington has won 3 of the past 4 meetings since 2018, with the Commanders going 3-1 ATS in the span.

Panthers at Commanders picks and predictions

Prediction

Commanders 36, Panthers 23

Moneyline

The Commanders (-500) will cost you 5 times your potential return, and that’s a little too much risk for not nearly enough reward.

Washington should be able to get the job done against the lowly Panthers (+375), but even as part of a multi-leg parlay, including the Commanders sucks all of the value out of your ticket.

PASS.

Against the spread

The COMMANDERS -9.5 (-110) are laying a big number, and with their defense, it isn’t a sure thing.

However, the Panthers +9.5 (-110) have a pretty shabby defense, too, and QB Jayden Daniels should find plenty of open spaces. Carolina is just 1-5 ATS this season, including 3 consecutive non-covers with losses by 10 or more points. And, Carolina has lost by 10 or more points in 5 of 6 outings this season.

Over/Under

OVER 51.5 (-110) might be the best play on the board.

While the Over was 0-3 in games with a closing total of 50 or more points in the 1st 5 weeks, we saw the Over go 2-0 in 2 such games in Week 6.

The Over has cashed in 4 straight games, while going 5-1 this season, for Carolina. The Panthers have allowed 34 or more points in 3 in a row, and 4 of 6 outings.

For the Commanders, the Over has hit in 4 in a row, too, while going 5-1 in the 6 games this season. The Commanders have allowed 30 or more points 3 times, while going for 34 or more points in 3 of the past 4 outings on offense.

Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Atlanta Falcons (3-2) meet the Carolina Panthers (1-4) for a Week 6 game at Bank of America Stadium Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Falcons vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Falcons are flying high after a 36-30 home win in overtime against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Week 5 Thursday night game. Atlanta, which covered as a 2.5-point favorite, has won 3 of its past 4 games. Atlanta is 2-0 straight up (SU) in 2 games against NFC South foes, while going 1-1 against the spread (ATS) with a pair of Over results.

The Panthers came alive in Week 3 at the Las Vegas Raiders for a surprising 36-22 win as 5.5-point underdogs, but they’ve sunk back into their losing ways in the past 2 outings. The Chicago Bears, who were 4-point favorites, manhandled the Panthers 36-10 at Soldier Field in Week 5 as Carolina slipped to 1-4 ATS. The Over has cashed in 3 in a row for the Panthers, who are 4-1 O/U on the season.

Falcons at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Falcons 32, Panthers 19

Moneyline

The Falcons (-275) will cost 2.75 times the potential return. That’s way too much risk if you were to back Atlanta on a standalone wager. However, if you were to toss them into a multi-leg parlay with at least 3 to 6 teams, it isn’t a terrible idea.

PASS.

Against the spread

The FALCONS -6 (-110) head into Charlotte with a head of steam, having vanquished divisional foes Tampa Bay and New Orleans the past 2 weeks.

However, last season the Falcons went to Carolina as 2.5-point favorites and lost 9-7 in Week 15. As a matter of a fact, Panthers have won and covered the past 2 home games against the Falcons

Carolina is 3-1 ATS in the past 4 meetings vs. Atlanta. So, be careful, as these divisional games can sometimes be tight, even when they’re not expected to be.

Over/Under

OVER 47 (-110) is a decent play as Atlanta’s offense has been moving the ball well lately, and Carolina’s defense ranks last in points allowed at 33.0 points per game (PPG). It’s a great recipe for an Over play.

Know that you’ll be going against the series trends, as the total has gone Under in 3 straight meetings, while cashing in 4 of the past 5 meetings in Charlotte.

However, this season, which carries a lot more weight, the Falcons have cashed Overs in both of their divisional games, while the Panthers have hit Overs in 4 of 5 games, with the defense allowing 26 or more points in both home games, and 35.0 PPG in the past 2 contests.

Carolina Panthers at Chicago Bears odds, picks and predictions

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Carolina Panthers (1-3) meet the Chicago Bears (2-2) for a Week 5 game at Soldier Field Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Panthers vs. Bears odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Panthers scored a 36-22 win at Las Vegas in Week 3, the 1st game after benching QB Bryce Young to start QB Andy Dalton. The Panthers averaged 6.6 PPG in 2 games under Young, while going for 30.0 PPG in 2 games with Dalton at the helm.

RB Chuba Hubbard has rushed for over 100 yards with a TD in 2 straight, while WR Diontae Johnson has 205 receiving yards and 2 TDs in the past 2 games.

Carolina’s problems run beyond quarterback, as the defense has struggled, allowing 26 or more points in 3 of 4 games, while the Over is 3-1 on the season. The Panthers are just 1-3 against the spread (ATS).

The Bears picked up a 24-18 win over the LA Rams last week, and it improved to 2-1-1 ATS. The Over (40.5) just came in, ending a 3-0 run to the Under for Chicago.

No. 1 overall pick QB Caleb Williams, who was acquired in the now-infamous trade-up by Carolina to acquire Young, has thrown for 520 yards, 3 TDs and 2 INTs in the past 2 games.

Panthers at Bears picks and predictions

Prediction

Bears 27, Panthers 20

Moneyline

The Bears (-200) will cost you 2 times your potential return, and that’s just a little too expensive for a standalone wager. If you were to include Chicago into a multi-leg parlay, backing the Bears as part of a parlay of 4 or more teams is certainly OK.

PASS on a straight-up wager, however.

Against the spread

The BEARS -4 (-110) are worth a look at home against the Panthers +4 (-110).

While Carolina will certainly be looking for some payback in this battle between trade partners, the Panthers defense has just been unable to stop anybody. Williams and the Chicago offense could run roughshod over the Carolina D, with very little resistance.

The Panthers have shown some signs of life with Dalton, Hubbard and Johnson, but the Bears are just a little stronger.

Over/Under

OVER 41 (-110) is worth a look, but don’t get carried away.

Chicago should be able to move the ball well for a 2nd straight week, as Carolina has had difficulty in the pass rush department. Williams will likely pick the Panthers apart, which will sting, given the history of the 2 organizations and how Carolina has its No. 1 overall pick sitting on the bench.

The Over hit for Chicago last week, and it looks to make it 2 in a row. Carolina has hit high in 3 of 4 games, including the past 2 outings.

Cincinnati Bengals at Carolina Panthers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Cincinnati Bengals at Carolina Panthers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Cincinnati Bengals (0-3) travel to meet the Carolina Panthers (1-2) for a Week 4 game at Bank of America Stadium Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Bengals vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Bengals suffered a tough 38-33 loss at home against the Washington Commanders Monday night, and Cincinnati is inexplicably 0-3 straight up and just 1-2 against the spread (ATS) through 3 games. The Over has cashed in 2 in a row, as the defense has allowed 32.0 PPG with the offense going for 29.0 PPG.

The Bengals will see a familiar face under center, as Carolina has QB Andy Dalton making his 2nd straight start. He transformed the offense in his 1st start in Week 3, as the Panthers won 36-22 as 5.5-point underdogs at the Las Vegas Raiders.

Carolina coach Dave Canales benched 2023 No. 1 overall pick QB Bryce Young after 2 games, as the team managed just 13 total points while allowing 73 points. Dalton became the 1st QB of the 2024 season to throw for 300+ yards and 3+ TDs in a single game.

Bengals at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Bengals 27, Panthers 16

Moneyline

Who would have thought the Bengals (-225) would be winless at this juncture?

Backing Cincinnati, and risking more than 2 times your potential return, is not a recommended wager. That’s way too much risk for not much reward.

PASS.

Against the spread

While there were a ton of good feelings surrounding the Panthers +4.5 (-110) after last week’s surprising win, the BENGALS -4.5 (-110) are the play in Week 4.

Carolina suffered some key injuries last week in Las Vegas. It lost veteran WR Adam Thielen to a season-ending hamstring injury, and WR Diontae Johnson suffered a groin ailment. The latter is questionable, and if he cannot go, Dalton’s offense might look very similar to the one Young had to work with.

The Bengals are going to be an angry bunch after an 0-3 start, but all is not lost yet. There is plenty of time to turn things around, but it all begins in Charlotte.

Over/Under

UNDER 47.5 (-110) is a good-looking play.

While the Bengals have had trouble stopping people lately, Cincinnati should be OK against a Carolina team which might be down its top 2 pass catchers. The offensive line is a little banged up for the Panthers, too, and that shouldn’t be discounted.

Carolina Panthers at Las Vegas Raiders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Carolina Panthers at Las Vegas Raiders odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Carolina Panthers (0-2) and the Las Vegas Raiders (1-1) meet for a Week 3 game Sunday. Kickoff at Allegiant Stadium is set for 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Panthers vs. Raiders odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The big news out of Charlotte this week was a change under center by coach Dave Canales. The No. 1 overall pick from the 2023 NFL Draft, QB Bryce Young, has been benched in favor of veteran backup QB Andy Dalton as Canales looks to re-route the team’s season.

Carolina had managed just 13 points in 2 games, while going 0-2 against the spread (ATS) and splitting the Over/Under. The defense lost DL Derrick Brown, its best defensive player, to a season-ending injury in Week 1. Carolina has allowed 73 total points, 43 first downs and 728 total yards, so the problems run a lot deeper than just at quarterback.

The Raiders suffered a 22-10 loss against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1, but they bounced back nicely with a 26-23 OT win in Baltimore as an 8.5-point underdog as the Over (42) connected.

Panthers at Raiders picks and predictions

Prediction

Raiders 27, Panthers 16

Moneyline

The Raiders (-275) will cost you nearly 3 times your potential return, and while the Panthers (+220) have been atrocious, perhaps they get a little bit of a shot in the arm on offense with Dalton providing a steadying veteran presence in the huddle.

It’s risky to play a heavy favorite straight up, as there is just too much risk and not enough value.

PASS.

Against the spread

The RAIDERS -6 (-110) are worth pursuing at home as they return from a successful Week 2 trip to Baltimore last week in one of the more stunning victories of the season.

Las Vegas has an opportunity to have a winning record after Week 3, and all it has to do is dispatch what is arguably the worst team in the NFL, the Panthers +6 (-110).

The Raiders have one of the more exciting rookies in TE Brock Bowers, and he is paired with WR Davante Adams to give QB Gardner Minshew some potent targets downfield.

BET RADIERS -6 (-110).

Over/Under

OVER 40 (-110) is worth a look in this AFC vs. NFC battle in Week 3.

We’re unlikely to get much contribution from Carolina’s offense, although it should be a little better than the past couple of weeks. Dalton is a game manager, and he doesn’t take a lot of stupid chances.

For the Raiders, they have a respectable offense, and they should be able to move the ball without much resistance against a bad Panthers D.

BET OVER 40 (-110).

LA Chargers at Carolina Panthers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s LA Chargers at Carolina Panthers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The LA Chargers (1-0) and Carolina Panthers (1-0) meet for a Week 2 game Sunday at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Chargers vs. Panthers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Chargers opened the Jim Harbaugh era with a 22-10 victory against the Las Vegas Raiders Sept. 8. RB J.K. Dobbins rumbled for 135 yards and a touchdown, while the Chargers posted 316 total yards and 5 rushing 1st downs in the victory.

LA also held the Raiders to just 71 rushing yards on 22 attempts, or 3.2 yards per run. The Chargers were plus-3 in the turnover differential, and perhaps the only thing the coach will harp on is 7 penalties, which needs to be cleaned up.

The Panthers were annihilated 47-10 at the New Orleans Saints in Week 1. They slipped behind in the first 2:52 with a 59-yard TD to WR Rashid Shaheed, and New Orleans was up 17-0 at the end of the 1st quarter. The Saints went up 30-0 before Carolina managed a field goal at the end of the 1st half.

Carolina ended up posting just 193 total yards to 379 for New Orleans, and the Saints had 22 first downs to just 11 for the Panthers. To make matters worse, Carolina had 3 turnovers and a minus-2 turnover ratio. QB Bryce Young completed just 13 of 30 passes for 161 yards, 0 TDs and 2 INTs, although he did run for a score.

Chargers at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Chargers 24, Panthers 13

Moneyline

The Chargers (-250) will cost you 2½ times your potential return, and that’s just way too much risk for not enough reward, even against the dregs of the league. Backing a road team, and laying this kind of money, is not a recommended long-term betting strategy.

The Panthers (+200) just cannot be trusted for the upset after the effort they put forth last week. And, to make matters worse, they lost Brown — their best defensive player — to a knee injury last week.

PASS.

Against the spread

The CHARGERS -5.5 (-110) are a much better play laying the points. With Dobbins, RB Gus Edwards, etc., the thinking is that this team builds an early road lead, then uses the 2 bruising backs to salt the game away for a win.

The Panthers +5.5 (-110) just lacked explosiveness last week, and the team was too mistake-prone. Until Carolina remotely looks like an NFL-caliber operation, keep fading it.

Over/Under

UNDER 39 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The Under cashed for the Bolts last week, as the defense was especially suffocating against the Raiders. LA should find more success against the toothless Carolina offense.

The Panthers were shellshocked early by the Saints pass attack on the fast track at Caesars Superdome. The Chargers aren’t that kind of team, as they’re more content with running the ball and keeping the clock moving. That’s a trait Under bettors like a lot.

Carolina Panthers at New Orleans Saints odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Carolina Panthers at New Orleans Saints odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints open their regular seasons at the Caesars Superdome Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Panthers vs. Saints odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Panthers have QB Bryce Young entering Year 2, and apparently he made strides in training camp. The team also surrounded him with more weapons, trading for WR Diontae Johnson, while getting back into the 1st round of the 2024 NFL Draft to select South Carolina WR Xavier Legette.

The Saints swept the season series in 2023 while going 1-0-1 against the spread (ATS) at most shops. New Orleans has won 4 of the past 5 games at home against Carolina, with a meaningless Week 18 game won by the Panthers Jan. 8, 2023, as the lone exception. The Under has cashed in 7 straight meetings in this series.

New Orleans has won and covered 3 in a row inside the NFC South, and the Under cashed in 5 of 6 divisional games last season.

Carolina also saw the total go 5-1 in the past 6 divisional contests while going 1-5 straight up (SU) and 2-3-1 ATS in those outings.

Panthers at Saints picks and predictions

Prediction

Saints 23, Panthers 16

Moneyline

The Saints (-210) will set you back more than 2 times your potential return if you want to back the home side straight up and not play around with the points. That’s a little too expensive for a standalone wager, but as part of a multi-leg parlay, especially in Week 1, when we’re being a little more conservative, it’s OK to toss in with a few other teams.

PASS.

Against the spread

The SAINTS -3.5 (-118) are worth a look laying the points, although that hook is always bothersome. When betting the favorite, it’s always more appealing taking the flat 3, rather than the 3 and a hook.

Still, New Orleans should be able to handle its business against the Panthers +3.5 (-104), who need to prove to bettors and NFL fans that they’re way better than the past 2 seasons before we start trusting them again.

Over/Under

UNDER 41.5 (-112) is a strong play in this NFC South battle.

Vegas’ Alex White agrees: “Lock it in” play of the day

The Under cashed in 5 of 6 divisional games for each of these teams last season and went 2-0 in their head-to-head meetings.

The most recent meeting in New Orleans saw the home side win 28-6 in Week 14 of the 2023 campaign. In fact, the total has gone low in 7 straight meetings since Jan. 3, 2021. Until we see big offense in this series again, keep going low.
