The New Orleans Saints moved to 12-2 straight up and 10-4 against the spread with their win over the Carolina Panthers on Monday night. The Saints are one win away from locking up the top seed in the NFC and are a +130 favorite (wager $100 to win $130) on the updated NFC championship odds at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.
It's difficult not to love the Saints right now; in a gutsy 12-9 win on the road, the defense had a chance to shine, bringing its average down to just 12.3 points per game over the team's last six games.
