What's at stake when the New Orleans Saints host the Carolina Panthers in the season finale

The New Orleans Saints wrap up their 2018 regular season this Sunday with a home game against an NFC South rival, the Carolina Panthers. The 13-2 Saints essentially have nothing to play for, having already clinched not only the division title, but home field advantage through the playoffs. The expectation is that even with a first round bye, coach Sean Payton will choose to sit many of his starters and top end players for an extra week of rest. That strategy will be especially important for players like left tackle Terron Armstead, who is nursing a pectoral injury, along with some other members of a banged up offensive line.
