regular-season win on Sunday afternoon when they play host to the Carolina

sportsbook.

The Saints knocked off
the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night to clinch the NFC South division crown, and
they enter Week 17 tied with the San Francisco 49ers for the conference's No. 2
seed with a 12-3 record.
To push that total to 13 wins and get a shot at
a first-round bye the Saints will have to get past a Panthers team on Sunday
that has won four of its last five games to sit at 6-9 on the season. Carolina
has also paid off its supporters well at 9-6 against the spread.
And the
Panthers are coming off a big offensive outburst in Week 16, beating the
Buccaneers 48-16 at home behind a four-touchdown performance (three passing, one
rushing) by rookie quarterback Cam Newton.
Newton
completed 12 of 17 pass attempts for 171 yards for Carolina that day, with the
three touchdown strikes, no interceptions, and 65 rushing yards.
New
Orleans' quarterback is no slouch either, though, and Drew
Brees led the Saints to a 30-27 comeback win over the Panthers in
Carolina back in Week 5. The Panthers managed to cover the posted spread in that
contest as 6.5-point home underdogs.
Brees went 32 of 45 for 359 yards
passing for New Orleans in that win over Carolina, with two TD strikes and one
interception. Newton was good on 16 of 31 pass attempts for 224 yards with two
touchdown passes and one interception in the losing cause.
Overall New
Orleans is 5-5 straight up but just 2-8 against the spread in its last 10 games
against Carolina. The OVER/UNDER went 3-7 in those 10
contests.
