Saints vs Panthers Betting Odds have New Orleans -3 with 58% of Expert NFL Predictions Week 9 on NO

Thursday Night Football will feature an NFC South firefight when the Carolina Panthers host the New Orleans Saints at 8:25 PM ET.  Saints vs Panthers Betting Odds have New Orleans listed as -3 point spread favorites with 58% of expert NFL predictions on the Saints. New Orleans (3-4 SU 3-4 ATS) is coming off an impressive beatdown of the Green Bay Packers in a 44-23 route as -2 home “chalk.” Carolina (3-4 -1 5-3) has dropped three straight, their most recent defeat a 9-13 defensive struggle with Seattle as +6 home underdogs. Our Expert NFL Predictions Week 9 panel broke down the sides. Saints vs Panthers Betting Odds Moneyline has Carolina at +140 (Bet $1000 to win $1400) at SPORTS BETTING ONLINE

Expert NFL Predictions Week 9 Analysis: The Panthers are simply missing too many integral parts to their defensive machine to keep up with the high flying Saints who boast the 5th ranked scoring offense. A Rex Ryan Saints defense that ranks 10th against the rush will make the Panthers one-dimensional enough to win a shootout. Carolina gets back All-Pro running back DeAngelo Wiliams from injury but the Panthers once feared defense has been shoddy, ranking 28th in points allowed. Saints vs Panthers Betting Odds Total is at 50.0 points

Inside the headsets we prefer the Saints Superbowl winning sideline boss Sean Payton to Ron Riviera’s Carolina crew. New Orleans track record on the road is rough but expect between the tackles running back Mark Ingram to keep the crowd noise to a minimum with his slashing runs. Saints quarterback Drew Brees remains one of the games best signal-callers and Panthers QB Cam Newton is coming off consecutive off outings. Brees to tight end Jimmy Graham could be an unstoppable force against the Panthers pass-defense. Play the Saints to break their trend of losing on the highway with a strong performance in an important divisional game.
