Pick: Carolina Panthers +9.5

Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey leads the league in rushing yards (1,059), rushing touchdowns (11), yards from scrimmage (1,576) and total touchdowns (14), a combination that is sure to test New Orleans highly ranked defense, even if Carolina quarterback Kyle Allen is still shaky after throwing four interceptions against the Atlanta Falcons last week.

The Saints' offensive line, meanwhile, will have to deal with the Panthers' fearsome pass rush. The New Orleans line has been up to the task of protecting its quarterbacks thus far, but Carolina is tied with San Francisco for the lead in sacks (39) and eight Panthers have three sacks or more, led by outside linebacker Mario Addison, who has eight. In addition, Carolina's 70 quarterback hits are the fifth-most in the NFL.
