00:00the Panthers at home this weekend, hosting the New Orleans

00:04Saints in a divisional duel. Good news for the Saints. Derek

00:08Carr back at practice, dealing with the oblique injury, is

00:12expected to line up and start on Sunday. It's why the Saints

00:16are a full touchdown favorite against Carolina. Forty-three

00:20and a half is that total. Blue, you mention it all the time.

00:24Divisional game, home under the New Orleans Saints.

00:28Divisional game, home underdog. You have to start there.

00:32Is that how you feel about the Carolina Panthers hosting New

00:36Orleans? I do mention it all the time, and it's worth

00:42mentioning here, but I'm just going to take the Panthers under

00:4617 and a half. I know the Saints defense hasn't been lights out,

00:50but I just think the Panthers are going to continue to struggle

00:53offensively, so I'll take their under 17 and a half. That's the

00:56way I would play it. I would note too, though, that a

01:00touchdown spread with a total of 43 and a half, that starts to

01:03get to the area, guys, where you sort of have to take the points

01:08or you have to take the over. Having a blowout of a game of a

01:12touchdown or more with a total of 43, that's pretty tricky to

01:16hit both the under and the spread. Quick note in that game

01:22too, Blue. Are you ready for this? Carolina is one in 14

01:25against the number in the first half. Their last 15 games, one

01:30in 14. They lose games by an average of 18 points per game,

01:34so maybe Derek Carr can put up enough points to at least cover

01:38the first half in that game here.
