Why Carolina Panthers are a good bet +9 ½?
Even though the Carolina Panthers lost straight up to Atlanta in Week 11, a couple of positives came out of the game. First, the Panthers amassed 347 total yards. Second, Christian McCaffrey accounted for many of those yards. McCaffrey rushed for 70. He caught 11 passes for 121. No team can stop McCaffrey. If the Panthers score touchdowns instead of turning the ball over on Sunday, McCaffrey will ensure Carolina keeps this within 9 ½ points.

Why New Orleans Saints are a good bet -9 ½?
Instead of wallowing in the loss to the Falcons, New Orleans picked itself up and dominated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11. The Saints beat Tampa 34-17. They picked Jameis Winston off 4 times. New Orleans has a top defense to go along with their Drew Brees led offense. They should have no trouble covering versus a Carolina team that starts Kyle Allen.

Panthers vs Saints Final NFL Betting Analysis
If Kyle Allen doesn’t throw 4 interceptions, the Panthers won’t lose 29-3 on Sunday the way they did last Sunday. But, even if the Panthers don’t lose by as many points, they won’t cover the spread.
Carolina shouldn’t have an issue moving the football. Christian McCaffrey can’t be stopped. He has 1,576 combined yards and 14 touchdowns this season. McCaffrey will ensure a competitive game. The Panthers will lose by 10 or more, though.
Why? Carolina allows 128.4 rushing yards per game. That ranks 27th in the NFL. New Orleans RB Alvin Kamara warmed up in Week 11 with 75 yards off 13 carries, a 5.77 per carry average. He should run wild versus a Panthers’ defense that gives up huge chunks of rushing yardage. Saints cover.
