⚖️ Team Outlook
The Saints have endured a turbulent season but are looking to regroup behind rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, who showed flashes of potential in his Week 9 debut (176 yards, 1 TD). Offensive struggles have defined the team, with Alvin Kamara yet to find the end zone since Week 1.
The Panthers, on the other hand, are trending upward, winning five of their last six. QB Bryce Young remains steady, while RB Rico Dowdle has become their key offensive weapon after a monster game against the Packers (130 yards, 2 TD).
The Saints’ best chance lies in controlling time of possession, limiting turnovers, and leaning on their defense to contain Carolina’s rushing attack.
