Already in the playoffs, look for the Saints to keep playing hard this Sunday at home against a very disappointing Carolina Panthers squad.
Yes, it is week 17. But this game means something to Saints. Avenging a loss for one thing, and a possible first round bye for another thing.
Carolina's offensive output is horrific at less than nine points per game the last three contests, and if QB Jake Delhomme does not play for the Panthers, heavily side with New Orleans QB Drew Brees and his 26 TD passes this year along with many weapons in the Saints' arsenal. The Panthers are the NFL's biggest disappointment in 2006, and the Saints coach Sean Peyton has a young team he will want to send to the playoffs with a win and confidence.
The wrong team is favored. I do not see the Saints tossing in the towel here because they are in the playoffs already. This is a division rival; look for the Saints to come out on top.
Play: Saints +3
