Carolina (+5) at New Orleans (12-3-17)

[oldunclemark]

4:25 EST  (The A team) Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Erin Andrews on FOX

over-under at 48 inside the SuperDome in New Orleans

 

Pivotal game in the NFC..

Carolina lost to New Orleans 34-13 in September so they need this on to have real hope of finishing first

 

Cam ('They call me Superman') Newton (211 of 350, 2,40 yards)  has alos run 83 times for 464 yards

Did you know he has thrown just 14 TDs (11 INTs)

Lets revisit our pre-draft talk about Stanfords Christian McCaffrey.

On the good side. he has caught 5 passes out of the backfield for 468 yards

On the so-so side..he has run 76 times fo just 268 yards

 

NOLA legend Drew Brees (266 of 373 for 3,028 yards) has 16 TDs and 5 INTs

They also have a RB who catches. With amazing balanced numbers.

Alvin Kamara has 546 yards on 77 carries AND 548 yards on 55 catches.

 

What makes me think this is a New Orleans rout? 

The Panthers (8-3) have won 4 in arow ...but they hadn't scored 20 points in 4 weeks..

 

New Orleans (8-3) lost to the Rams last week but I just think the Saints are super in their super dome home.

Take NOLA and give the points

I'll take the Panthers plus 5

This is the first time I've seen the Saints on TV this year. In a world where the guy with the most rings or the most TDs is called overrated I don't know how Drew Brees gets so many free passes for his mediocrity. And Cam just totally dodged a hit SB style (but I could see that appearing on some memes tomorrow atleast).
