In the Saints last 2 games on the road at the Panthers the Saints lost both games as QB Brees passed for 2 touchdowns and was intercepted twice in the 2 losses.

The Carolina Panthers started out the season at 2-0 and since then have only won 1 game. In their previous 5 games, they allowed their opponents some 37 points, in four of those games.

The Panthers offensive coordinator Shula has to solve their red zone problems, as in the last game with Seattle, they were inside their 20 yard line 3 times and only managed 6 points, thus their TD efficiency 46.2 in the zone ranks 28th in the NFL. The Panthers are 2-1 at home against the Saints, as their QB Newton has thrown 4 touchdowns and rushed for 2 touchdowns and intercepted twice in those 3 games.

Fans who bet on NFL football at an online sportsbook or with a local bookmaker, the opening betting odds are favoring the Saints at -2 ½ (-115) with O/U 48 and the ML -140 with the comeback +120. The Panthers in their last game with Seattle loss 13-9, the Seahawks covered their underdog spread at +6 and O/U 26, and with the score of 22 points, the game went under. While the Saints in their last game beat the Packers 44-23 and covered the game as they were -2 point favorites, and the 67 points made the game a winner for those that bet the over.
