Saints at Panthers odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Saints 29, Panthers 17

Money line

The SAINTS (-190) aren’t terribly out of line if you want to play them straight up and avoid laying the points. New Orleans has won four straight in this series, and QB Jameis Winston looked solid in his first start taking over for the retired QB Drew Brees.

The Panthers (+155) won last week, yes, but a five-point victory over the New York Jets isn’t exactly cause for firing up the printer for playoff tickets just yet.

Against the spread

The SAINTS -3.5 (-110) have covered two of the past three outings, with both of the covers victories in Charlotte. They have won those two games at BoA by a combined score of 75-17.

Don’t look too much into the past trends, however, as Brees was under center, and former QB Cam Newton was the starting quarterback for many of Carolina’s starts. Those two are gone, so put more stock into the performances of each team in Week 1. Winston and the Saints were sharp in a blowout against a Super Bowl contender, while Darnold and the Panthers barely scraped by a poor Jets side.

Over/Under

The lean is OVER 44.5 (-112), based mostly off of the solid showing of New Orleans last week against Green Bay. The defense confused the Packers all day, and if they can confuse QB Aaron Rodgers, they can certainly should be able to confuse Darnold, right?

Well, Carolina should be able to hold its own with WR Robby Anderson, WR DJ Moore and RB Christian McCaffrey. They just need offensive coordinator Joe Brady to kick off the training wheels and open things up.

Underdog corner: 3 best NFL picks and predictions for Week 2

Assessing the NFL betting odds and lines for Week 2, with three predictions and picks for the best underdog bets to make.

NFL point-spread underdogs certainly had their day in Week 1 and a record one at that, covering in 12 of 16 games with an amazing nine outright winners. We took full advantage here in underdog corner as all three of our selections (the Philadelphia Eagles, Houston Texans and Miami Dolphins, who were all getting 3.5 points) notched straight-up wins, including two by double digits.

Certainly, a week to rejoice, but we know it’s not going to be that fruitful every week. We are wagering on the NFL (Not For Long) after all. Below, we assess the odds and matchups and offer up our three best NFL underdog picks and predictions for Week 2.

NFL underdog predictions: Week 2

Carolina Panthers +3.5 (-112) vs. New Orleans Saints, Sunday at 1 p.m. ET

The Saints surprised many by notching one of the most shocking wins of Week 1, routing reigning MVP QB Aaron Rodgers and the favored Green Bay Packers 38-3 in a neutral-site game in Jacksonville.

The win, though, came with a cost as three starters — CB Marshon Lattimore, DE Marcus Davenport and C Erik McCoy — went down and will miss time due to injuries.

Also, a mini-COVID-19 outbreak has since struck the organization with six assistant coaches among eight in all testing positive so far. In addition to the inconvenience of practicing and staying in the Dallas area after being displaced by Hurricane Ida, the Saints now will be operating under the league’s enhanced COVID mitigation protocols this week.

The Panthers, meanwhile, have no such distractions playing at home for the second straight week after opening with a 19-14 win over the New York Jets. Carolina also covered in five of its last seven games against the Saints as an underdog, and given all the above, we’ll say that grows to six of eight with an outright PANTHERS (+3.5, +155 ML) win Sunday.

Minnesota Vikings +3.5 (-107) at Arizona Cardinals, Sunday at 4:05 p.m. ET

QB Kyler Murray and the Cards also pulled off a Week 1 stunner, routing the field goal-favorite Tennessee Titans 38-13 on the road.

The Vikings didn’t fare nearly as well in their season opener in Cincinnati, falling 27-24 on the last play of overtime.

We see things evening out, though, Sunday afternoon in the desert as these still look to be two equally-matched teams. Take the VIKINGS (+3.5).

Dallas Cowboys +3.5 (-122) at Los Angeles Chargers, Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET

This will be the Bolts’ home opener — and their first game at SoFi Stadium with fans; however, given the Chargers’ lack of serious L.A. backing, that only means the sparkling new stadium will mainly be filled with Cowboys fanatics.

On the field, second-year Chargers QB Justin Herbert certainly looks to be the real deal but QB Dak Prescott and the Cowboys should’ve beaten the defending-champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, losing 31-29 late in the league’s season opener.

Dallas is still getting more than a field goal against a lesser foe, so get down on the COWBOYS (+3.5).

First look: New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers odds and lines, Panthers open as home ‘dogs

Looking at Sunday’s New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers Week 2 NFL odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The New Orleans Saints (1-0) and Carolina Panthers (1-0) meet Sunday in Week 2 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Saints vs. Panthers odds and lines; check back for our NFL picks and predictions.

The Saints, displaced by Hurricane Ida, “hosted” the Packers in Jacksonville in Week 1. They made themselves right at home, pounding Green Bay 38-3, winning outright as 4-point underdogs as the Under connected.

The Panthers acquired QB Sam Darnold from the New York Jets in the offseason, and as luck has it, that’s the team they faced in Week 1. Darnold passed for a touchdown and ran for another in a 19-14 win and cover as the Under hit.

Saints at Panthers head-to-head

The Saints won 33-7 in Week 17 at BoA as the Under connected, and they have won four consecutive trips to Charlotte – covering three times. In each of the covers, the wins were by 21 or more points.

Of course, a lot of that history is old news with QB Drew Brees under center for the Saints and QB Cam Newton for the Panthers. QB Jameis Winston is now the starter in New Orleans, Brees in the television studio and Newton is looking for a job.

New York Jets at Carolina Panthers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing the New York Jets at Carolina Panthers Week 1 odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The New York Jets and Carolina Panthers meet Sunday at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET and the game is televised on CBS. Below, we look at the Jets vs. Panthers odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Jets traded QB Sam Darnold to the Panthers and then selected QB Zach Wilson out of BYU with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. As luck has it, these two players and teams face each other in Week 1.

Wilson looked very good in the preseason, but he’ll be without one of his top receivers with WR Jamison Crowder on the COVID-19 list and ruled out by head coach Robert Saleh.

Darnold looks to exact a little revenge on the team which gave up on him, and show the Jets what they could’ve been if they had NFL-caliber receivers and a top-notch running back. That’s what he has in Charlotte with the Panthers.
