4* Free Week 2 NFL Betting Prediction: New Orleans -3
With the Saints coming in as 3-point road favorites, look for them to take advantage of a Panthers team that is coming off both a straight-up and ATS loss.
In his NFL regular-season debut, Rookie Young showed the expected jitters, as most rookie signal callers do. However, facing a more experienced Saints team with a formidable defense and talented skill players, Carr is likely to target Olave, Shaheed, and Thomas heavily.
As a result, it’s a safe bet to favor the Saints to cover the spread (-3), no matter how we analyze this matchup.
After crunching the numbers, our model is pointing to this game finishing with a combined 43 points. This projection has me feeling good about taking the over at 40.
The Saints defense will likely help push this total over with a timely defensive touchdown if you care to make a prop bet.
