The Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints will face off this coming week, with kickoff set for 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday.

The Panthers chose to unveil a multiple quarterback approach against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and it worked out about as well as you would think as they took the 32-6 L. The Saints take on the Miami Dolphins for Week 16’s Monday Night Football game.

DraftKings Sportsbook posted opening odds for this matchup earlier this week. Here’s a look at what the odds opened at for the Panthers-Saints Week 17 matchup.

Panthers vs. Saints

Opening point spread: Saints -6.5
Opening point total: 40
Opening moneyline: Saints -280, Panthers +225

Early pick: Saints

The Carolina Panthers are 5-10 against the spread this season. They don’t have a quarterback or running game they can trust either. The Saints also are weak at quarterback, but Sean Payton and Alvin Kamara can make up for a lot of deficiencies.
