Carolina Panthers over New Orleans Saints: Car season was supposed to be over after losing McCaffery but that has not been the case. Rookie coach Ruhle has done an excellent job. Davis has stepped up at RB Bridgewater has been solid and the defense despite injuries is ranked 11th overall. NO has the name recognition and are off a bye. WR Thomas has been out since week 1 with a hamstring he was due back this week but sat out practice Thurs making him questionable. Regardless NO is no longer that explosive offense we remember from the past but rather a rhythm ball control unit. These teams are fairly even across the board and have played similar strength of schedules. I fully expect the back door to be wide open if necessary well into the 4th quarter. I made this game 5.5 giving us excellent value.
