AAA's *SAINTS/PANTHER* BLOCKBUSTER (BIG FOOTBALL RUN CONTINUES!)
(NFL) New Orleans vs. Carolina,
Point Spread: 6.00 | -115.00 New Orleans (Away)
Result: Win
This is an 8* BLOCKBUSTER on the New Orleans Saints.

Here's a great situational play. We're all about finding great "situations." Are the Saints really as bad as their 0-2 record? Are the Panthers really as good as their 2-0 start would indicate? We think the answer to both questions is: "no." New Orleans struggled on defense last year and so far it's also been an issue this season. QB Drew Brees and the offense has also gotten out to bit of an uncharacteristically slow start. But what better opponent to get re-energized and focused for than division rival Carolina? The Panthers got bad news in last week's listless 9-3 win over Buffalo, as TE Greg Olsen broke his foot. QB Cam Newton's performance to this point can best be described as "serviceable." So far he has 399 yards, two TD's and one INT, to go along with just 30 rushing yards. Note that New Orleans is 9-2 ATS in its last 11 on the road, while Carolina is just 1-4 ATS in its last five at home. At 0-3 to open the year, combined with a division loss here, you may as well just go ahead and stick a fork in the Saints, because their season is going to be completely done. We think the desperate visting side keeps this one competitive late. Grab the points, play on NEW ORLEANS.
