So far this season, New Orleans is 0-4 on the road. For sports bettors, their ability to cover games hasn’t been much better with a 3-9 record Against The Spread.
Trying to figure out how to correct their road woes is one thing, but the Saints will also be looking to avenge last year’s loss to Carolina that prevented them from securing a division title and number 2 seed for the playoffs.
"To be honest ... you remember bits and pieces of the game from last year but not really too much of it," Saints linebacker Curtis Lofton said. "Every year Carolina has a new team and we have a new team. You can't really focus on anything that happened in the past. We are just moving forward."
The Panthers have enjoyed success against New Orleans over the past two seasons, winning three of four games. The home team has won seven of the last ten in this series.
Prior to last week’s big home win against Green Bay, the Saints encountered yet another implosion on the road, this time against a Detroit team that has managed to win a handful of come-from-behind games.
"The worst feeling in professional sports is when you feel you let your team down, and that's how I feel right now," said Saints quarterback Drew Brees, who threw for 342 yards and two touchdowns, but his fourth-quarter interception led to Detroit's go-ahead score.
The line on this game opened Saints -1 and has stabilized at -3 with New Orleans seeing nearly 70% of the betting action.
