NFL Betting Odds, Point Spread, Trends
The Saints swept last year’s season series with the Panthers, capped by a 20-17 home victory last December, and have now claimed victory in five of six dates with Carolina. The Saints have been effective at shutting down the Panthers attack during 5-1 head-to-head run, allowing just 13.3 points per game and have surrendered just 10.6 points per game in the Panthers’ past five visits. That has generated a steady 4-1-1 ATS run for New Orleans, with the UNDER going 8-2 in their past 10 clashes.
New Orleans has now won two of three overall, and tightened up their defence over that stretch, allowing just 21.7 points per game after surrendering an average of 34.3 points per game during a preceding 0-3 SU slide. However, consistency remains elusive, with Saints failing to post consecutive wins since Week 17 of last season.
The Panthers attack has fallen flat during their three-game swoon, tallying just 17.7 points per game after averaging over 29 points per game during a respectable 3-2 start. The squad has also scored just under 22 points per game while going 1-2 on the road, and has spotted opponents early leads in each of those contests while scoring just three total first-quarter points over that stretch.
NFL Player Odds and Props
Bryce Young has shown flashes of his vast potential while racking up 2,197 passing yards and 16 touchdowns in nine outings while eclipsing 250 passing yards five times, capped by last week’s 276-yard, three-TD performance. Young failed to reach 210 yards in his two previous starts, and it remains to be seen if he has gotten over that rough patch, but is still worthy of a value wager on the NFL player props as a -115 bet to record OVER 247.5 passing yards.
Chris Olave once again proved that he is the real deal with 98 receiving yards last week versus the Browns. Olave has emerged as Tyler Shough’s favourite target while racking up 734 receiving yards and two scoring catches, and has made 7+ catches in six of eight outings. While the receiving yards may be harder to come by, Olave as a +115 bet to record OVER 6.5 receptions.
Carolina Panthers
Darren Waller emerged as a bright spot in last week’s loss to the Broncos, turning in an eight-catch, 90-yard performance, and has now picked up 299 yards and four touchdowns this season.
Rookie Tetairoa McMillan leads the Panthers with 625 receiving yards on 46 catches, while Jalen Coker has tallied 393 yards and three TDs. Coker’s responsibilities could increase after Carolina released veteran receiver David Moore.
Linebacker Bobby Okereke missed Thursday’s practice after sitting out last week’s game, while Jaelan Phillips and guard Damien Lewis were limited.
New Orleans Saints
The Saints’ ground game showed immediate improvement following a bye-week overhaul, which included firing run-game coordinator TJ Paganetti and releasing Kendre Miller. The Saints recorded 160 rushing yards versus the Browns after averaging just 86 per game entering its bye.
Audric Estimé, claimed off waivers from Cleveland only five days before the game, picked up 72 yards and scored a fourth-quarter touchdown.
Alvin Kamara added 32 yards on six carries, while Juwan Johnson caught the winning touchdown in overtime, and now has four receiving touchdowns this season.
