NFL Betting Lines and Prediction for Week 13's NFC South Showdown: Panthers Square Off Against Saints
With the NFL season in full swing, the Week 13 game between the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints is eagerly anticipated. However, as of now, there are no direct betting odds or expert picks specifically for this game available in the search results.
Nonetheless, some relevant contextual information on the two teams' general outlook and odds for the 2025-26 season can provide some insight. The New Orleans Saints are projected to have a challenging season, with experts predicting they could finish around 3-14, losing all six games in the NFC South. Their odds to win the NFC South are +1500, reflecting low confidence, and they have poor odds overall for the Super Bowl (+18000 to +40000 depending on the source). They are generally not favored to make the playoffs.
On the other hand, the Carolina Panthers, along with the Falcons, have better odds than the Saints in the NFC South, with the Panthers listed at +850 to win the division. There is no specific mention of Week 13 betting odds or a pick to favour one team over the other in that matchup.
The only somewhat relevant preseason pick was for a different Saints game (vs. Jaguars), with the Saints being a slight favourite at a -1.5 point spread.
Given the expert predictions that frame the Saints as one of the worst teams in the NFL this season and suggest they are unlikely to win most division games, including against the Panthers, it is likely that experts will favour the Panthers in Week 13. However, explicit betting odds and formal expert picks for that specific game are currently unavailable in the provided search results.
The game will be played at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, New Orleans, on Sunday, December 3 at 4:25 PM EST. The Over/Under is set at 48. The game will be telecast on FOX, and radio broadcast will be available on 1110 AM (Carolina) and 105.3 FM (New Orleans).
