Panthers vs. Saints: What Are Experts Saying About New Orleans?

The New Orleans Saints will host the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, and numerous experts have weighed in this week on this NFC South matchup.


New Orleans (5-7) is coming off an impressive road win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13. The Saints took full advantage of a five-touchdown performance from quarterback Drew Brees, while Mark Ingram rumbled for 122 yards in the upset victory.

Sean Payton’s club returns to the Superdome this weekend against Carolina (3-8-1), and the Saints will be fighting to keep pace with the Atlanta Falcons atop the division.
