The Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints open their regular seasons at the Caesars Superdome Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Panthers vs. Saints odds, and'make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Panthers have QB Bryce Young entering Year 2, and apparently he made strides in training camp. The team also surrounded him with more weapons, trading for WR Diontae Johnson, while getting back into the 1st round of the 2024 NFL Draft to select South Carolina WR Xavier Legette.
The Saints swept the season series in 2023 while going 1-0-1 against the spread (ATS) at most shops. New Orleans has won 4 of the past 5 games at home against Carolina, with a meaningless Week 18 game won by the Panthers Jan. 8, 2023, as the lone exception. The Under has cashed in 7 straight meetings in this series.
New Orleans has won and covered 3 in a row inside the NFC South, and the Under cashed in 5 of 6 divisional games last season.
