Carolina Panthers vs. New Orleans Saints Point Spread
The Carolina Panthers vs. New Orleans Saints point spread opened at -14 and it has not budged at BetED.com, though most other books were bringing the line down a half point as of Friday afternoon. Just over 60 percent of the betting on this game was going towards the reigning Super Bowl champion Saints.
Carolina has won 3 of the last 4 games in this series and 7 of the past 10 though a win last year was a meaningless game for New Orleans. The Panthers have only lost to New Orleans by more than the current point spread once in ten games.
