It has come down to this as the Saints held Serve at Home two weeks ago but a loss to the Rams last week near the Gateway to the West has them back into the same saddle with the Panthers. The Panthers avoided a dose of Gang Green last week to put themselves in position to host a game between them and the Saints that impacts two different fronts:

1. NFC South Title
2. #2 Seed in the "Fight for George" (George Halas Trophy)

The Saints need to get their Mojo back and fast as they still might have some backside in the muddy Mississippi River compliments of the Rams. Now they take that #2 ranked Air Attack into Carolina for all the marbles. Its go for broke for the Saints as they could leave with the 32 Seed and the NFC South Title or the #6 Seed on the NFC or even fighting for an NFC Wild Card Slot in NFL Week 17. Can they move the Pig and put up 7's on that vaunted #2 ranked in Points Allowed Panthers "D"? WR Marquis Colston, TE Jimmy Graham, and RB Darren Sproles is vital to the attack and they must bring their A-Game.

As for the Panthers the Jets opened up a few holes on the Panthers "D" with some long drives but they still won the Ball game going away. The Panthers Run Game with Cam and DeAngelo Williams must run the Pig effectively for the Panthers to have a chance. Panthers ranked 17th in Points Scored and 8th in the run Game that is their Bread and Margarine. Yes WR Steve Smith along with his Caddy's WRs Brandon LaFell and Ted Ginn Jr. have to make plays but they have to be balanced in order for it too all work. Can the Saints and D-Coordinator Rob Ryan ranked 21st in Run "D" slow down the Panthers Run Game?

Winner: PANTHERS 20-16...it's that Panthers "D" led by Backer Kuechly
