Carolina Panthers On Three-Game Losing Run

Carolina go into this big NFC South showdown in desperate need of a win, having lost three straight to fall to 3-5.

The Panthers responded to a 59-37 defeat to Chicago on opening day with a 34-3 blowout of Atlanta on the road, but failed to follow that up as they lost 21-18 in Cleveland.

They bounced back to upset Detroit a week later, 32-26, and following that up with a 25-14 success in Philadelphia.

However, Carolina have not won since that success against the Eagles back on October 18.

The Panthers have sandwiched a 27-19 road defeat to Green Bay with home losses at the hands of Tampa Bay, 43-13, and Denver, 26-21.

New Orleans Saints Recorded Third Win Last Weekend

New Orleans enter this matchup having won at home for the first time this season, improving their record to 3-5.

The Saints lost 31-30 in overtime in Detroit in Week 1, but bounced back a week later as they travelled to Baltimore to upset the Ravens, 24-17.

They failed to build on that though, losing three straight at home as they were beaten 35-27 by Las Vegas, 45-24 by Atlanta, and 23-13 by Minnesota.

New Orleans finally stopped the rot with a 34-27 win at the New York Giants, only to then lose 16-10 to Pittsburgh in Paris.

The Saints did rebound at home though, finally notching their first Superdome success of 2026 as they beat Cleveland in overtime, 23-22.

Verdict

CAR Panthers @ NO Saints

Carolina come into this matchup on a losing run, but they have shown promising signs in the losses to Denver and Green Bay.

New Orleans possess a miserable home record too, despite the win over Cleveland, so give us the Panthers and the free points.
