This will go down as the best Sunday Night Game of the 2013 Season hands down. Both Teams mirror each other except the Panthers "D" is Top-Notch as is the Saints "O" but this will be decided vice verse. It will come down to how the Panthers O"O and QB Cam can solve that New Saints "D". The Panthers "O" is Top 10 in the Run but the Passing game is below average. The Saints "D" is not as stingy as that Panthers "D" but super-solid as they have a middle of the pack Run "D". Something has to give as the loser falls into the NFC Wild Card #5 seed having both beat the 49ers in 2013.

#BackInBlack PANTHERS @ #WhoDat SAINTS 












The Panthers are going to run the Pig and that is where the Saints "D" is most vulnerable. They have all three RBs healthy in DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart, and Mike Tolbert. Throw in Cam into that mix they have a capable four-headed monster that flourishes between the A-Gap. Can the Panthers throw the Pig with Mr. Smith, Brandon LaFell, Greg Olsen, and Ted Ginn Jr. vs that #4 Passing game in the NFL led by hard-hitting Safeties Malcolm Jenkins, Roman Harper, and Rook Kenny Vaccarro? The Panthers need to keep #9 of Geaux Saints off the field as they need to sustain long drives and get 7's.    

The Saints took a whipping from that Seahawks "D" but that might have put them back on track for this one. The Saints are just 23 in the Run Game and that plays into the Panthers Hands with that Run "D" and they way they get after the QB. The Panthers are #2 against the Run and #6 against the Pass and #2 in Totals Yards given up. The Saints Passing game is #3 and their Scoring Average is #7 and something has to give in this match up.  Can the Saints line up and run the Pig vs a Team giving up barley 80 yards per? Can the Panthers get after Brees and nullify that vaunted Vertical Passing Game of the Saints? Can they also stop Colston, Graham, Still, Toon, and Moore and even Sproles?

A Chess Match within a Chess Match and here we go...as these two teams will meet twice in the next three weeks...and by them the Smoke will have cleared on the "Fight for George" in the NFC.  

Winner: PANTHERS and that PANTHERS "D" 20-17....
