Panthers Saints! If you’re not excited about this game then you have bigger problems! These are two of the best teams in the NFL and we get to watch them in the first round of the playoffs. Cam Newton and Drew Brees are polar opposites when it comes to pretty much everything except one, and that is they both lead their teams to wins. Granted this year they’ve finally gotten some help Brees with that running game and defense and Carolina finally putting some athletes on offense with Cam. This game is going to have a little bit of everything, I believe whoever has the ball last will win this game!
The Carolina Panthers come into this one after dropping a tough one in Week 17 to division rival Atlanta Falcons. That loss stung because if they won they would have had a shot to host this game but instead they have to go to the daunting Superdome. Carolina lives and dies by Cam Newton, you know what you’re going to get from Luke Kuechly and that defense but Cam is a different story. Christian McCaffery has had a huge impact on this offense creating mismatches with his ability to flex out as a WR and run routes out of the backfield. The Panthers will have a tough time scoring on this Saints defense who has shocked the league this year. The real task will be on Kuechly trying to keep a cap on the dynamic duo of Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara.
WHO DAT NATION STAND UP! Your Saints are in the playoffs and they look scary good! I can’t remember if I’ve ever seen a Drew Brees led the team with a running game and a defense. Drew Brees is coming off a regular season where he set the single-season completion percentage record (73.9%) It’s a lot easier to throw when the defense has to watch out for the run every play. Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram have been forced to watch out for this season accounting for 3,094 total yards and 25 offensive TDs! oh yeah and Kamara returned a Kickoff for a TD in Week 17 just for fun! This is the best Saints team I’ve ever seen even better than the Super Bowl team in my opinion. But like the saying goes it doesn’t mean a thing without the ring!
