The Carolina Panthers (3-3) travel to meet the New Orleans Saints (3-2) Sunday of Week 7 at 1 p.m. ET at Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. Below, we take a look at the early Week 7 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.
The Panthers had their three-game win and cover streak come to an end with a 23-16 home loss against the Chicago Bears Sunday. It was also the fourth straight Under result for Carolina, as the Panthers defense has improved after a couple of early-season meltdowns. The Panthers are yielding just 19.0 points per game over the past four after coughing up 32.5 PPG across the first two games, both losses. The Panthers rank sixth in the NFL against the pass, allowing just 218.8 yards per game, and they’re ninth in takeaways with nine.
The Saints are coming off a bye. They won their previous two games before the rest week, including a thrilling 30-27 overtime win against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football in Week 5. The Over is a perfect 5-0 for New Orleans, as the Saints have scored 24 or more points in all five outings, and 30 or more in four of those games. The Saints defense has also struggled, as they rank 24th in the league in scoring defense with 30.0 PPG allowed. New Orleans has struggled in the takeaway department, registering five, with a turnover ratio of plus-1.
