The Carolina Panthers are all set to face the New Orleans Saints in the Wild Card Round of the NFC Playoffs. Here are three bold predictions for the game.

The Carolina Panthers are getting ready to face the New Orleans Saints for the third time this season, by squaring off in the Wild Card Round of the 2017-18 NFC Playoffs. After a one year hiatus from the postseason, Carolina is looking to get back to the Super Bowl after their tough loss to the Denver Broncos back in 2015-16.

If that loss taught the Panthers anything, it’s that titles are hard to come by and getting back to redeem yourself is even harder. Needless to say, the Saints are going to see a highly-motivated Carolina squad come into their building on Sunday afternoon.

Plus, it doesn’t help that Carolina has already lost to New Orleans two different times already this season. If you love intense football games, this NFC South showdown may be the best game of the entire weekend. With two former MVP quarterbacks at the helm and two superstar head coaches calling the shots, whoever wins this game could definitely be favorites heading into the Divisional Round.

That said, take a look at three bold predictions for the Panthers in their game versus the Saints on Sunday.
