The Carolina Panthers were left for dead by a number of people who partake in the NFL betting lines, but now they are contending for a division title and some home field in the playoffs. On Sunday night they will be pursuing their ninth consecutive victory when they take on the New Orleans Saints in pro football betting action that is set for the Superdome at 8:30 PM ET. It’s televised live by NBC, and was switched from a 1 PM ET start as part of the network’s option to exercise flex scheduling.
At the moment, these teams are tied for the NFC South lead at 9-3, and the winner will have a one-game lead and inside track to win the division. They will also meet in two weeks in Charlotte, so the issue is far from settled, regardless of what happens on Sunday night.

In keeping with a recent trend, there will be an attempt for this crowd to be the loudest of all time in an indoor sports arena on Sunday night. they will have representatives form the Guinness Book of Records for this one, and we notice this is a record that was just set three weeks ago in Sacramento. As bad as the Kings are, we wonder what they have to scream about. In New Orleans they have plenty to scream about, when the Saints are at home. They have gone 14-0-1 against the NFL betting lines in the last fifteen they have played at the Superdome WITH Sean Payton as head coach.
So that is what Carolina has to go up against
Surely they have ammunition, in that they have won eight straight games, becoming a real Super Bowl contender. Their defense has held opponents to just 13.1 points a game, and 12.4 during this eight-game streak. Cam Newton is playing good football, as he is almost 62% accurate, with 19 touchdown passes. he also has that “X” factor, in that he can scramble to save time and run with the ball (447 yards).

As good as Newton has been, you have to wonder whether the Heisman winner who might have the most meaningful impact on this game could be the Saints’ mark Ingram, who has averaged 4.7 yards a carry. In this game New Orleans is going to have to look for some balance, and inasmuch as they have struggled in developing a ground attack, they need all the help they can get.
