How our season will go by looking at the Carolina game -- If we play a good game, and dare I say it win, then I believe we will have a great season. Carolina will be coming in hungry and healthy, they are at home, and have the type of team which will test how we have improved.

They have an excellent running game with a healthy Davis and Foster. Because of that they have a great play action passing game. This will test our rushing D as well as how much Smith adds to the defense.

They have a great defense -- especially on the d-line so we will see if our offseason investment in the offensive line pays off. Their overall defense will tell us if simplifying the offense helps the offense and AB.

And overall, no matter what the mags say, that Carolina is the team to beat in the division -- so beating them at home will give us huge momentum to start the season

So it will be very telling to see how we stack up in this game

Dare I predict this --- Saints 24 - Panthers 20
