The New Orleans Saints could not have been more punctual almost left for the 2014 Sunday dead starting the season at 2-4 and that is the bad news. The good news is that they reside in the below average NFC south and after that Packers "W" last Sunday night they are 3-4 right back in it.

The Carolina Panthers lets one slip away as they had the champs the Seattle Seahawks on the ropes for three frames and then some only to lay an egg on "D" and "O" for a 13-9 loss. QB Cam Newton hasn't looked worse and the Panthers doubt has fallen into that locker room. Now they get the rival Saints prime time and the loser might not ever be back above water for the 2014 season!

NFL Week 9 Thursday Night Football
October 30, 2014 @ 8:25pm ET
from
Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C.

Game Outlook: 

The Saints might have figured out something on Sunday versus the Packers as they get 170 plus yards on the ground from Mark Ingram and rook WR/Gadget Brandin Cooks sliced and diced that Packers secondary one of the better secondaries in the "Shield"!  The Saints know they need a balanced attack for Brees to operate in those intermediate routes as well go deep with favorable match ups. The Panthers need to slow down Ingram and then hope they can get to Brees pressures and red jersey collections and they will have a chance.

The Panthers get the best news as #1 RB DeAngelo Williams is back in action and they need him and Jonathan Stewart for that change of pace attack that gives defenses fits. QB Cam needs to play better regardless who is at running back. TE Greg Olson is his ace in the hole but he needs to get that Wilson pigskin to the likes of rook Kelvin Benjamin and Jerricho Cotchery among others. The Saints will need both bookends OLB's Cameron Jordan and Junior Galete to get to Cam or at least make him step up and pressure him.

The Saints are coming in riding high and the Panthers the home team looks very vulnerable to say the least. It is a wide-open race in the NFC south and someone is going to have to step up and take control.

Winner: Saints 30-17 as Brees and Company get it rolling again...
