NFL Wildcard Sunday: NFC South Rivals Saints and Panthers Square Off

Nfl Wildcard Game

Panthers-Saints in NFL Wildcard Showdown

They finished with the same record in the NFC South. On Sunday, they’ll meet again to decide who moves on to the Divisional Round. The New Orleans Saints host the Carolina Panthers. Kickoff from the Superdome is at 4:40 PM ET on FOX. The Saints are 6.5-point home favorites, up from –6 at the open. The total is at 47.5 after opening at 48.5.

They took both regular-season games from Carolina. Improved running has helped turn the Saints into one of the best teams in the league this season. When they met at the Superdome in Week 13, New Orleans prevailed 31-21 as a 6-point chalk. They got rushing touchdowns from both their Pro Bowl tailbacks: Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara. Getting their defense sorted out has been even more important to New Orleans. The Panthers’ offense has been mediocre at best the past couple of seasons. QB Cam Newton hasn’t played like the man who was named league MVP in 2015. One of his top targets from last year, WR Ted Ginn Jr. is now a member of the Saints. %Alt_Txt%%
