The Saints face the Panthers in Charlotte with a chance to win their fourth consecutive game over the rival Panthers. With a win here, the Saints need only one more win to secure homefield advantage throughout the playoffs, meaning this game would be the last game the Saints would play away from a dome with the name Mercedes-Benz on the stadium until next season.
The Panthers will come at this game with everything they’ve got, as their playoff hopes are hanging in the balance. They are also licking the wounds of their hurt feelings after being swept by the Saints in three games last season.
