Saints predicted to cover the spread against an under-performing Panthers squad

The bad luck for the New Orleans Saints (-6.5)

never lets up. With news that players like Demario Davis, Kwon Alexander, and Trevor Siemian were returning from the Covid list, the Saints now have placed Marcus Williams and Erik McCoy on the Covid list, with the latter duo now expected to miss Sunday’s game. The Saints’ opponent this week, the Carolina Panthers (+6.5), have also had quarterback issues this season, but not due to injury (Jameis Winston) or Covid (Taysom Hill). Sam Darnold started the season as Carolina’s starting quarterback, and was benched for a re-signed Cam Newton.
