The first clue that the New Orleans Saints might have been back as Super Bowl contenders for the first time in years came when they traveled to take on the previously undefeated Carolina Panthers in week 3.
New Orleans blew out its divisional rivals 34-13 as 5-point underdogs. That kick started an eight-game winning and covering streak that has the Saints tied with the Panthers atop the NFC South going into week 13.
The deadlock will break when the two teams meet for the second and final time at 1:25 this afternoon at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The Saints are the 4.5- to 5-point favorites this time around in the game of the week for the Sun’s handicapping contest.
That means each of the four sports writers must one of six weekly bets off of the South Point betting board on Carolina at New Orleans.
Read below for all of their plays.
