MNF - Saints at Panthers
Kevin Rogers

LAST WEEK

The Saints (11-2 SU, 10-3 ATS) rebounded from a loss in Week 13 at Dallas that snapped a 10-game winning streak to knock off the Buccaneers, 28-14 to cash as 10-point road favorites. Not only did New Orleans avenge a season-opening loss to Tampa Bay in which it allowed 48 points, but the Saints shut out the Buccaneers in the second half, 25-0 to overcome a 14-3 halftime deficit.

Drew Brees spearheaded the rally behind a touchdown pass and a touchdown run, while the Saints’ defense limited the Bucs to under 300 yards after allowing 529 yards in the first matchup in Week 1. The Saints gave up 17 points or less for the fifth consecutive week, while Brees busted the 200-yard passing mark (barely with 201) for the first time in three games. With the victory, the Saints improved to 6-1 SU/ATS away from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

The Panthers (6-7 SU, 5-8 ATS) have gone through a free-fall at the absolute worst time. Carolina suffered its fifth consecutive loss in last Sunday’s 26-20 setback at Cleveland as short favorites. The schedule-makers weren’t kind to Carolina, who was playing its fourth road game in five weeks, but the Panthers couldn’t hold onto a pair of touchdown leads in the first half as well as a three-point advantage heading into the fourth quarter.

Cam Newton failed to throw a touchdown pass for the first time since Week 1 against Dallas, as the Panthers’ quarterback totaled 265 yards through the air and an interception. The Panthers trailed by six in the final minutes and reached the three-yard line, but Carolina came up short on three plays to take the lead, including a pair of incomplete passes by Newton. Carolina was limited to 21 points or fewer for the fourth time during this skid, as the Panthers topped the 31-point mark in four of six wins this season.

ROAD IS WHERE THE HEART IS

It’s well-known how much of a home-field advantage the Saints own, but the road numbers for New Orleans are staggering. Sean Payton’s squad has won six of seven on the highway, including an impressive 4-1 SU/ATS mark in the road favorite role. It’s been a nice bounce-back for New Orleans, who closed out last season with four straight away defeats and a 1-3 ATS record. The UNDER has cashed in five of seven road games, while allowing 20 points or less five times.

BACK TO THE BANK

Carolina hasn’t been able to put things together on the road at 1-6 this season. But, the Panthers are a different team (like everyone else) playing at home as Ron Rivera’s team owns a 5-1 mark at Bank of America Stadium. The lone home defeat came in their last home appearance back in Week 12 against Seattle in a 30-27 setback in the final seconds. Prior to that loss, Carolina strung together a 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS mark in Charlotte, which included four games that eclipsed the OVER.

TOTAL TALK

The Saints are currently on a four-game UNDER streak, as New Orleans is seeing a total below 50 for the first time since Week 7 at Baltimore (49). The Panthers have finished UNDER the total three times in the last four contests, but have gone OVER the total in five straight home games.

TRIPLE REVENGE

Not only does Carolina want to end its drought, but the Panthers look to avenge three losses to their division rivals from last season. New Orleans dominated Carolina at Bank of America Stadium, 34-13 as five-point underdogs, highlighted by three interceptions of Newton. The Saints took care of the Panthers at the Superdome in early December, 31-21 to cash as six-point favorites for the season sweep.

What about the third matchup? The two teams hooked up in the Big Easy for an NFC Wild Card showdown that looked to be a blowout as New Orleans led Carolina, 21-6. The Panthers crept back to make it 24-19 as 6 ½-point underdogs, but Alvin Kamara’s two-yard touchdown run with five minutes remaining gave the Saints back a 12-point advantage. However, the Panthers marched right down the field and Christian McCaffrey capped off the drive with a 56-yard touchdown reception from Newton to pick up the cover in a 31-26 defeat.

The Saints are favored at Carolina for the first time since 2014 when New Orleans pulled off a 28-10 rout as three-point chalk. New Orleans has covered in each of its past four visits to Bank of America Stadium, while the two teams have split those matchups.

MONDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

New Orleans is making its second appearance on Monday night football this season, as the Saints routed the Redskins, 43-19 in Week 5 at home. However, the Saints own a 2-4 record in their last six Monday night contests since 2014 with the last road win coming at Chicago in December 2014 as a short favorite. The Panthers have won three of their last four Monday night games since 2015, while making their first appearance in 2018.

LINE MOVEMENT

The Saints opened up as 6 ½-point road favorites at the Westgate Superbook, but that line has slightly dropped to 6 at many sports books. The total opened at 52, but has quickly fallen to 49 ½ at many locales, as this is the second-highest total Carolina has seen at home this season (55 ½ vs. Tampa Bay in Week 9).

NBA | Suns vs Knicks
Play on: Suns +2 -110 at pinnacle

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Phoenix Suns +2
The Knicks are playing for a second consecutive day tonight after their 11-point road loss to the Pacers last night. It’s also their 6th game in 10 days. And this is a banged-up Knicks team with Alonzo Trier, Kristaps Porzingis and Mitchell Robinson out, while Damyean Dotson and Courtney Lee are questionable. The Suns are as healthy as they have been all season with Devin Booker recently returning to the lineup. And it’s starting to pay off as the Suns have pulled back-to-back upset victories over the Mavs 99-89 and the Timberwolves 107-99. I expect them to upset the Knicks on the road here given their health and the terrible spot for home team. Phoenix is 9-4-1 ATS in the last 14 meetings, and 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings in New York. Give me the Suns.

NBA | Kings vs Wolves
Play on: Wolves -7½ -104 at pinnacle

Jack’s Free Pick Monday: Minnesota Timberwolves -7.5
The Minnesota Timberwolves return home tonight highly motivated for a victory. They are coming off a four-game road trip in which they lost all four games, inlacing a 130-141 road loss to the Sacramento Kings on December 12th. Well, now they get their shot at revenge against the Kings at home this time around.
The Timberwolves have one of the biggest home/road splits in the NBA this season. They are just 2-12 on the road, but they are 11-4 SU & 10-5 ATS at home this season. They have been even better at home of late, going 4-1 SU & 4-1 ATS in their last five games with all four wins coming by 12 points or more.
The Kings are in a brutal spot here. They’ll be playing the 2nd of a back-to-back after their 120-113 upset win over the Mavericks on the road last night. They’ll also be playing their 7th game in 11 days with a ton of travel in between as they’ll be in their 6th different city during this stretch.
Minnesota is 11-2 ATS in home games after having lost four or five of its last six games over the past two seasons. The Timberwolves are a perfect 9-0 ATS in home games vs. good shooting teams that make 48% or more of their shots over the last three years. Minnesota is 9-1 ATS in home games vs. poor defensive teams that allow 106 or more points pre game this season. Bet the Timberwolves Monday.

NBA | Bulls vs Thunder
Play on: Bulls +13 -109 at GTBets

Chicago is off a win last time out on the road vs San Antonio which snapped a 3 game losing streak. The lone win before that above mentioned victory ,which snapped an even longer 7 game losing streak, was to the Oklahoma City Thunder by a 114-112 count as road pups. What the natural reaction by bettors would be here, is that a far superior team, will now be out looking for revenge. However, the Thunder don't seem to be a revengeful bunch as is evident by their 9-26 ATS record revenging a straight up loss vs opponent as a favorite over the last 2 seasons and a 3-13 ATS mark revenging a straight up loss vs opponent as a road favorite over the last 2 seasons. Thus the revenge factor is over blown to an extent and sometimes the line is also bloated because of this which adds value to the underdog and in turn once again makes for the Thunders negative ATS data in situation like this . From a historical standpoint the Bulls are 5-0-1 ATS L/6 here at Oklahoma City as DD road underdogs. I know that the Bulls do not inspire bettors, but after watching some clips of their previous game vs the Thunder, I noticed their were some matchup advantages for the Bulls, and I feel confident that the younger fresher legs of the Bulls have the ability to hang tough here, vs a Thunder side, on tired legs that will be playing their 5th game in a week.

NBA | Jazz vs Rockets
Play on: Rockets -5 -105 at pinnacle

This is a 1* Free Play on the Houston Rockets.
This one sets up great for the Rockets. Houston plays with double revenge after dropping both earlier contests to Utah, including a humbling 118-91 setback earlier this month. The Jazz though have looked poor since then, dropping three of their last four, most recently a 96-89 upset loss to Orlando in Mexico City on Saturday. Now Utah transitions back State side to face a Rockets team that enters off a momentum building 105-97 road win over the Grizzlies. Note that Utah is just 4-6 ATS in its last ten off an upset loss as a favorite, while Houston is 19-9 ATS in its last 28 when playing with double revenge and two straight losses vs. an opponent. Consider the ROCKETS in this one.
