The Carolina Panthers (6-10) visit the Superdome to take on the New Orleans Saints (7-9) Sunday. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we look at Panthers vs. Saints odds from Tipico Sportsbook; check back for all our NFL picks and predictions.
With a win Sunday against the Buccaneers, the Panthers would have been playing for a division title and playoff berth in this game. Despite getting out to a 14-0 start, they were unable to hold on, and the 30-24 loss means this game is meaningless.
The Saints, who needed a bit of help, did their part by beating the Philadelphia Eagles 20-10. Despite this, the 41-17 victory by the Green Bay Packers means the Saints were also eliminated from playoff contention and this game has no meaning for them either.
This now turns from a game with important implications to instead being a game of pride for both NFC South teams.
