Saints, Panthers set to open 2024 season in NFC South clash
SUMMARY: The New Orleans Saints are set to face the Carolina Panthers in their season opener. Despite the Panthers’ struggles last season, improvements like a new coaching staff and talented players could make this a competitive game. However, the Saints are expected to win. The Saints’ challenging upcoming schedule raises concerns for their playoff prospects, particularly following tough opponents like the Cowboys and Eagles. The team’s leadership under coach Dennis Allen faces scrutiny if performance falters. With a strong defense and emerging offensive tactics under quarterback Derek Carr, the Saints aim to capitalize on their weak division. Predictions range from 7-10 to 8-9 records for the season.
At noon, the New Orleans Saints go up against the Carolina Panthers in the Caesars Superdome to kick off the 2024 season.
