Carolina Panthers - NFL Betting Analysis

Last week, the Panthers lost in a divisional matchup against Tampa Bay Buccaneers by a score of 30-24. In terms of betting, Carolina not only lost the game but failed to cover the spread as 3.5-point underdogs. With their combined 54 points, the two teams exceeded the betting over-under number of 40. In the losing effort, the Panthers blew a 4-point lead heading into the 4th quarter, as Tampa Bay outscored them by 10 in the final period. Through 16 games, the Panthers have an ATS record of 8-8. So far, they have an over-under record of 8-8. This week's betting total of 41.5 is right in line with their previous games.

As the Panthers prepare to take on New Orleans, they are ranked 18th in points per game at 21.1 and are facing a defense allowing an average of 20.9 points per contest. This week, look for the Panthers to struggle in the passing game, as not only have they struggled to move the ball through the air, but they are facing a secondary ranked 12th in passer rating allowed. On the ground, the Panthers are 8th in rush percentage and 12th in yards per game (127.4).

 

New Orleans Saints - NFL Betting Analysis

Last week, the Saints knocked off the Eagles by a score of 20-10, giving them an important win over an NFC opponent. Going into last week's matchup, New Orleans was the 4.5-point underdog on the spread. With an over-under betting line of 42, the two teams fell below that figure as they combined for 30. Despite being the 4.5-point underdogs heading into the game, the Saints held a 3-point lead heading into the 4th quarter. Through 16 games, the Saints have an ATS record of 7-9. So far, they have an over-under record of 6-10. This week's betting total of 41.5 is right in line with their previous games.

As the Saints prepare to take on Carolina, they are ranked 22nd in points, averaging 20.2 points per game. This week, they will be facing a defensive unit allowing 22.9 points per game. Although the Saints come into the game ranked just 16th in pass yards per game, they will benefit from facing a Carolina secondary that is vulnerable through the air. In the run game, the Saints are averaging 115 yards per game and are facing the 19th ranked rush defense.

 

Today's NFL Betting Pick - Panthers vs. Saints

When looking back at the recent matchups between Carolina and New Orleans, the Panthers have won 2 of the last 3 games. The two teams have combined to average 32.3 points per game in their last 3 meetings. The Panthers will be looking to pick up yet another win over the Saints as they picked up a 22-14 win at home in week 3. Not only did the Panthers come out on top in the win column, but they also covered the spread as +3.5 point underdogs. Last season, the Panthers and Saints split their two matchups, with Carolina picking up a 26-7 win and New Orleans coming away with an 18-10 victory.

The Carolina Panthers have performed well vs the spread in recent games, going 2-1. The Panthers' offense has averaged 19.3 points per game over the 3 most recent meetings with New Orleans, compared to the Saints at 13.0.

Through their 3 most recent regular season matchups, the Panthers have gone 1-2. Like their straight-up record, Carolina struggled vs the spread, going 1-2. Over these games, they put together an over-under record of 3-0.

Although Carolina has a straight-up record of 1-2 in their last 3 road games, they have not held up as well vs the spread going 2-1. The team averaged 19.0 points per game in these games.

New Orleans has put together a record of 3-0 over their past 3 games. The team has also been excellent vs the spread, going 2-1. Their over-under record in these games was 0-3

In their last 3 home games, New Orleans has averaged 20.33 points per game while allowing 21.67. The team's record in this stretch was 2-1 while going 1-2.
