New Orleans at Carolina
Time: 1:00 PM (ET)
Network: FOX
Both the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers biggest game of the season goes down today when they play in a crucial NFC South match-up. The two are currently tied in standings at 10-4 and have “bye-weeks” next in the last Sunday of action against teams that had horrendous seasons. A win today could be the difference in having a bye for the wildcard and homefield advantage and the other playing Jay Cutler or Aaron Rodgers in the opening round.
Today, we’re picking the Carolina Panthers at home, which we expect their defense line to add pressure on Drew Brees to create turnovers down the stretch in a big statement win. The Saints have a 3-4 record on the road this year and Carolina’s only lost once this year at the Bank of America Stadium. This by far our top pick for game of the day today, as well as the entire week 16 of NFL action.
