The Saints (https://www.thechampionrings.com/nfl-super-bowl-rings/new-orleans-saints.htmlNew Orleans Saints championship rings) are led by head coach Sean Payton, quarterback Drew Brees and wide receiver Michael Thomas. New Orleans is coming off a Week 14 win over to the Buccaneers and enters the game with an 11-2 record.
The Panthers are led by head coach Ron Rivera, quarterback Cam Newton, and running back Christian McCaffrey. The Panthers are coming in off a Week 14 loss to the Browns and enter the game with a 6-7 record.
Zack Rosenblatt: The Panthers are a mess, and remain in the playoff race because their main completion (Vikings, Eagles) are also a mess. They really need a win. It won't come against the far superior Saints. Saints 37, Panthers 24.
Mike Kaye: While the Saints haven't been the offensive juggernauts they once were, they are still capable of running over struggling teams. The Panthers are falling apart and should be further buried by the Saints on Monday. Saints 31, Panthers 16.
Matthew Stypulkoski: The Saints' offense has gone cold of late, but the Panthers' entire team has been in free fall for weeks. This is the game where Drew Brees and Co. remember they're an explosive unit and get back on track. Saints 35, Panthers 20.
Ryan Dunleavy: These teams met in the playoffs last season and meet twice in the final three weeks of this season. Can the Saints win both? They probably need to in order to hang onto the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs. The Panthers are in freefall. It's closer than you expect. But that doesn't matter. Saints 31, Panthers 28.
Darryl Slater: Quite the battle going on for the top seed in the NFC (https://www.thechampionrings.com/championship rings) , with the Saints and Rams both at 11-2. The Saints hold the head-to-head edge over the Rams, in terms of having home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. And the Saints get to play the 6-7 Panthers twice in the season's final three games. Saints 38, Panthers 27.
Joe Giglio: Carolina's freefall continues in a big way. New Orleans is pushing for the No. 1 seed. The better team pulls away late. Saints 31, Panthers 24.
