Chip's 'Money Game' Winner (15-4 79%) (Saints/Panthers)
(NFL) New Orleans vs. Carolina, 12/22/2013 8:00 AM, Score: 13 - 17
Point Spread: 3.50 | -115.00 New Orleans (Away)
Result: Loss
New Orleans at Carolina 1:00 ET
Saints (+) over Panthers- My natural instinct is to take Carolina after the way they got crushed in New Orleans two weeks ago. New Orleans is coming off a lackluster performance and loss to the Rams while the Panthers rebounded with a 10-point win over the Jets. Both clubs are 10-4 but with a win the Saints clinch the NFC South while Carolina gets a playoff berth with a victory. I love key trends and there is one here that concerns Drew Brees and the Saints They are 14-5 straight-up and 16-3 ATS in games off a non-division loss. Finally, the Panthers are 9-15 straight-up and 5-17-2 ATS against foes with an equal or better record. It's got to be NEW ORLEANS!
