Finally, it’s time. Time for what many fans expect to be the greatest Super Bowl ever. After all, we’re seeing football’s most exciting offenses go head to head. We should, however, use last year’s Steelers/Cardinals matchup as a reminder to expect the unexpected. That game was a classic and the Colts and Saints aren’t guaranteed to play a close game despite the hype.
The New Orleans Saints (12-0 SU, 8-4 ATS, 7-5 O/U) dodged a huge bullet in their 33-30 overtime win over the Washington Redskins in Week 13.
The may not be as fortunate this week against a banged-up, but desperate Atlanta Falcons (6-6 SU, 7-5 ATS, 7-5 O/U) team that would love to take their division rivals down a peg or two this week.
Panthers (+13) vs. Saints (-13)
O/U (52)
Sunday, November 8, 4:00 PM ET
The New Orleans Saints (6-0 SU, 6-0 ATS, 4-2 O/U) will be looking to reach a franchise-best 8-0 when they host the Carolina Panthers (3-4 SU, 2-5 ATS, 4-3 O/U) at the Louisiana Superdome in a matchup of NFC South divisional rivals on Sunday at 4 PM ET.
The New Orleans Saints (7-7 SU, 9-4-1 ATS, 9-4-1 O/U) saw their playoff hopes take a huge hit with a crushing loss in Week 15. The Detroit Lions (0-14 SU, 6-8 ATS, 9-4-1 O/U) remained winless following their loss on Sunday, but actually put up a pretty good fight before falling.
The New Orleans Saints (4-4 SU, 5-3 ATS, 5-3 O/U) used their prolific offense to win their last contest two weeks ago and are well-rested after getting a bye in week 8. The Atlanta Falcons (5-3 SU, 5-3 ATS, 3-5 O/U) are the biggest and best surprise of the season and have the look of a playoff participant at this point.
The San Diego Chargers (3-4 SU, 3-3-1 ATS, 4-3 O/U), have alternated wins and losses in each of their last four games.
The New Orleans Saints (3-4 SU, 4-3 ATS, 4-3 O/U), have done them one better – alternating wins and losses in each of their last five games.
The New Orleans Saints (3-3 SU, 4-2 ATS, 4-2 O/U), absolutely pounded the atrocious Oakland Raiders on Sunday, winning 34-3 in the BetUS Sportsbook to cover as seven-points favorites at home.
The Carolina Panthers (4-2 SU, 3-2-1 ATS, 1-5 O/U), suffered a meltdown of major proportions in losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-3 on the road while failing to cover as one-point road underdogs.
Why anyone would want to coach the dysfunctional Oakland Raiders (1-3 SU, 2-2 ATS, 3-1 O/U), these days is beyond me, but new head coach Tom Cable is clearly in over his head with a franchise that is totally ‘lost in the sauce.’
