[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.

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

Looking at Sunday’s Carolina Panthers vs. New Orleans Saints Week 9 NFL odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

[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.

The Saints opened with a 16-15 victory over the Tennessee Titans in Week 1, as QB Derek Carr made his team debut with 305 passing yards, 1 TD and 1 INT. New Orleans had 351 total yards of offense, and it was a plus-1 in turnover ratio.

Saints at Panthers picks and predictions

Prediction

Panthers 20, Saints 18

Moneyline

The PANTHERS (+140) are a solid value at home as slight ‘dogs.

Carolina’s pass game wasn’t great in the opener in Atlanta, but there will be growing pains with Young. However, there will also be glimpses of brilliance, too. And it wasn’t all bad in Atlanta, as the Panthers outgained the Falcons, and RB Miles Sanders was solid in his team debut. The defense also did a good job of putting the team in position to win, and it will do well against Carr and the Saints pass offense, which was just OK in the opener.

Against the spread

The PANTHERS +3 (-110) are an OK play if you just can’t pick them straight up. However, there isn’t a lot of wiggle room, unless you strongly believe the Saints -3 (-110) are going to win, but only by 1 or 2 points. The better value is the moneyline play.

Over/Under

UNDER 39.5 (-110) is the lean in this Monday night undercard.

The Under cashed in Week 1 for the Saints, and the Under also cashed in Week 1 for the Falcons. If you’re seeing a theme here, you should. The Under has also cashed in each of the previous 5 meetings between these NFC South combatants.

The Under is also 7-3 in the past 10 games inside the NFC South Division for the Panthers, while cashing in each of the past 5 games inside the division for the Saints. The Under is 7-2 in the past 9 games against division foes for New Orleans, too.
