New Orleans at Carolina

The New Orleans Saints have to be a bit worried. Drew Brees is getting up in age, and through two games they are averaging 19.5 points per game. This is a team that scored 30+ points in nine games last season, and scored 20 or fewer in just four games, and they have yet to top 20 points this season. Meanwhile, Carolina has not allowed a touchdown yet, limiting their first two opponents to six total points. The problem for the Panthers is that they are averaging just 16 points per game themselves. When New orleans plays, the total is always high with all but one game posted with a total UNDER than 48.5. This does not look like the same offense. The Panthers defense came on late last season, and looks to be continuing to play at a high level, leading to their last six games to play UNDER the total, and they held a better Saints offense to 20 points here last year. I think this one is set too high and will play the UNDER.
