Panthers vs. Saints Prediction and Pick
I broke down my best bet for all 16 Week 1 games in this week's edition of the "
Road to 272 Bets", including my pick for Panthers vs. Saints:
I feel the same way about both of these teams as I did when they were last on the field nine months ago.
The Saints once again look like a solid team on paper, but can they deliver on the field?
Meanwhile, the Panthers may just be the worst team in the NFL again in 2024.
Until I see significant improvement from Bryce Young, I can't justify betting on them as just four-point underdogs on the road.
I'll take the Saints to win and cover and hope they can start living up to their potential.
Pick: Saints -4 (-110)
