Experts all picking Saints over Panthers for Week 17 matchup

As you might expect, the experts are all taking New Orleans for this Week 17 matchup.

The Carolina Panthers (5-10) finish their 2020 season on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints (11-4).

As you might expect, the experts are all taking New Orleans for this Week 17 matchup. Here’s who they’re picking.

Pro Football Talk: Saints

Michael David Smith (28-17) and Mike Florio (31-17) also picked against the Panthers.

Last week was an interesting and difficult matchup to predict. This one is relatively straight-forward. New Orleans is a vastly more talented team and has a potential No. 1 seed in the NFC on the line. Carolina’s defense has been exceptional the last two games though, so we’d be surprised if it’s a blowout. Saints 24, Panthers 17.
