Carolina at New Orleans

Carolina had its three-game winning streak snapped in a 23-16 loss to Chicago, even though the Bears were outgained 303-261. However, the Chicago defense put the clamps on Teddy Bridgewater, who was sacked four times, and the Panthers committed three turnovers, including two interceptions. New Orleans doesn't have as strong of a defense, but unlike Chicago, the Saints can put up plenty of points as they're averaging 30.6 per game. That is #5 in the league. The Saints beat the Los Angeles Chargers, 30-27, in overtime and they come in rested after a bye week. Drew Brees does not have the arm strength he used to have, but he still completed 33 of 47 for 325 yards and a touchdown against the Chargers. New Orleans won both meetings last season, including a 42-10 blowout in the rematch. Carolina is 3-8-1 ATS its last 12 games versus NFC teams and 3-7-1 ATS its last 11 games overall. The Saints are 8-0 ATS in Week 7 and 10-3 ATS their last 13 following a bye week. Also, New Orleans is 37-14 ATS its last 51 October games. Play the Saints.
