Panthers have been solid bet in NO
NEW ORLEANS, LA (The Spread) – The Panthers are a mess on the field but why might they be a decent bet in New Orleans today against their division rivals at 1:00PM ET?
According to oddsmakers from online sports book BetDSI, the Saints are 10-point home favorites over the Panthers while the over/under total for this game is currently sitting at 49.5 points. What’s interesting is that at some Vegas books, the line has dropped two full points down to 8. While that doesn’t mean it’ll drop any further, it’s interesting that despite Carolina’s issues over the past month, at least one contingent of bettors like the Panthers to at least cover.
One reason for the line movement might be because the Panthers have been an outstanding bet against the Saints in New Orleans of late. The Panthers are 11-2 against the number in their last 13 games in New Orleans and 9-4 at the betting window in their last 13 games overall versus New Orleans. The road team is also 19-7 ATS in the last 26 meetings between these two teams, which includes a Saints cover earlier this year in Carolina.
On the other side, the Saints are just 2-5 against the spread in their last seven games on fieldturf and are still just 5-7 on the year despite beating the Steelers in Pittsburgh last week. One other thing to consider for this game is that the Saints just lost three straight games at home before beating the Steelers last Sunday.
The Saints might be overpriced today at -10 or even at -8.
