The Carolina Panthers return from their bye to visit the New Orleans Saints in Week 15.

The Panthers went into the bye on a high note after a 31-28 win over the Rams, and they’re road favorites here in Week 15. Meanwhile, the Saints came away with a 24-20 win in Tampa Bay for their second victory in the last four contests.

This will be the second meeting between these teams this season after the Saints won 17-7 in Carolina back on November 9.

Which team will come out on top this time?

Here’s a breakdown of the odds, a player to watch, betting trends and my prediction for this matchup in Week 15.

Panthers vs. Saints Key Player to Watch

Bryce Young, Quarterback, Carolina Panthers

The Saints silenced Bryce Young back in the first meeting, holding the quarterback to 124 yards and an interception on 17 of 25 passing. 

Since then, though, Young has seven touchdowns and two interceptions in his last three games, including a three-touchdown performance with no turnovers against the Rams.

Young has had a week off to prepare for this Saints matchup and must be feeling good after his last showing. He’ll be one to key in on this week in New Orleans.

Panthers vs. Saints Prediction and Pick

The Panthers have been a feisty team this season, and I can’t pick against them off the bye. They’ve shown that they can keep up with the best of them, so unless the Saints drag them down to their level, Carolina has to be the side here.

Carolina is 3-4 on the road while New Orleans is just 1-5 at home. There is also the motivation factor here as the Panthers push for a playoff spot while the Saints should be focusing on their draft position.

Pick: Panthers -2.5 (-110)
