At 1:00pm ET, my Early Riser is on Carolina. The Saints smashed the Panthers when these teams played the first time. That was in September, at New Orleans. The Saints were favored by 3.5 points. Now they are on the road and off 6 straight losses and they're laying even more points! That's because Carolina has been even worse than them. But now the Panthers are playing with divisional revenge. This see this game as a measuring stick to show how far they've come since that first game. Having been out of action, Carr may have some rust for the Saints. Bryce Young will get a 2nd straight start and will have worked off some of his own rust for the Panthers. Carolina coach Dave Canales: "I'm excited for Bryce to have the opportunity to build off some of the things he did last week." I think that is a game the Panthers will really want and it won't shock me when they pull off the upset.
