Featured Discussion Saints vs Panthers Game Day Thread

New Orleans has won the NFC South, they have clinched the No. 1 seed in the NFC, but there are still a few things to keep an eye on in Week 17.

Teddy Bridgewater will start the game for the Saints against the Carolina Panthers' third-string QB Kyle Allen. If Bridgewater can lead the Saints to a win, it would mark the best regular season record in franchise history.

On the individual level, several players also have contract performance bonuses on the line.

EXPERT PREDICTIONS
• Nick Underhill

Tough to call this one considering the Saints have not made it clear which players are going to play. But the guess here is that Teddy Bridgewater is going to show up ready to play and will lead New Orleans to its 14th victory of the season.

Saints 24, Panthers 17

• Rod Walker

This game doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things, but the Saints would love to finish 14-2 and have the best regular season record in franchise history. This is backup QB Teddy Bridgewater going up against Panthers' third string quarterback Kyle Allen. Big edge to Bridgewater.

Saints 28, Panthers 13

• Nathan Brown

It would be easy to give the Saints a loss in a game that plays no bearing on their postseason future. But this team hasn’t gotten this far this year without a strong second string, and they’ll be enough to defeat a Panthers squad on a seven-game losing streak starting their third-stringer under center.

I think Payton will have a play for Brees to get his 4k yards

I'd start everyone of those guys. I'd leave as many starters on the bench as possible

That's my two cents

Especially against a Division Rival who would love to screw up some of our players.
