The New Orleans Saints are meeting with a rival for the third week in a row and this time, it’s the Panthers. Here are three bold predictions for the game.

After an abysmal game in Week 10, things are looking up for the New Orleans Saints again. Maybe it was something about the Falcons, but the Saints more than made up for it in their meeting against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With a final score of 34-17, the Saints made sure to shut the door on the Bucs even thinking about making a comeback.

After a meeting with the Falcons in Week 10 and the Bucs in Week 11, it’s only right that the Saints are facing off against the Carolina Panthers. While things seemed to be looking up for them, everything fell apart against the Falcons.

Maybe the Falcons are finally pulling it together but they trampled both the Panthers and the Saints. Considering how easily the Falcons beat the Panthers, good things are poised to happen to the Saints.

Looking back at Week 11, Drew Brees bounced back well and it felt as the letdown against the Falcons didn’t even happen. He finished the game with three touchdown passes, 228 yards and an 80 percent completion rate. Overall, it was a great game for Brees, Michael Thomas and the defense, who finished the day with four interceptions. It was exactly the game the Saints needed to have and, hopefully, the trend will carry into Week 12.

Facing off against the Panthers has been challenging in the past. With Cam Newton out and Kyle Allen under center, the Saints can get back to their winning ways. While it’s unclear if their game against Atlanta was a fluke, Week 12 is full of promise. Let’s get into three bold predictions when the New Orleans Saints take on the Carolina Panthers.
