BetAnySports’ NFL Pick of the Week- Week 8
New Orleans Saints vs. Carolina Panthers – Thursday, Oct. 30
BAS’ Current Line: Saints -3 and the total is 49 1/2
Just when the betting public thought the Saints were dead in the
water after a 2-4 start both straight-up and against the spread, they go
out and hammer one of the hottest teams in the league with a 44-23 romp
over Green Bay this past Sunday as two-point home favorites on
BetAnySports closing NFL betting odds. The total easily went OVER an
inflated 55-point line and it has now gone OVER in their last four
games.
BetAnySports
has opened New Orleans as a one-point road favorite in this Thursday’s
NFC South showdown against Carolina and for good reason. The Saints are
0-4 SU on the road this season with a 1-3 mark ATS. They opened the
season with back-to-back road losses to Atlanta and Cleveland before
getting hammered by Dallas 38-17 as three-point road favorites. Just two
weeks ago New Orleans blew a late fourth-quarter 23-10 lead against
Detroit in a 27-26 loss a 1.5-point road underdog.
The Panthers fast 2-0 start both SU and ATS out of the gate is
becoming a distant memory after posting a dismal 1-4-1 SU record in
their last six games. They have been able to cover ATS in three of their
last four games and while the total stayed UNDER 44.5 points in this
past Sunday’s tough 13-9 loss to Seattle as six-point home underdogs, it
had gone OVER in their previous five games.
Defense was the primary reason while Carolina went 12-4 SU last
season on its way to the NFC South Division title, but this year this
side of the ball has been plagued with consistency issues from one week
to the next. Give this unit credit for holding Seattle in check with the
exception of a late-game score that cost the team the game. Prior to
this, the defense did allow 37 points in the Week 6 tie against
Cincinnati and 38 points the following week in a lopsided loss to Green
Bay. The offense has not helped the cause with 19 points or less in four
of the Panthers’ last six games.
The total has stayed UNDER in nine of the last 11 meetings in
Carolina and given New Orleans’ current form on the road and the
Panthers’ current form overall, I am going with the UNDER 49 on
BetAnySports betting odds as my top pick this time around as well.
