Pro Football Network: Panthers 28, Saints 23

Jarrett Bailey writes: 'The Saints won off the strength of Alvin Kamara’s six-touchdown day. That said, it’s painfully apparent how bad Drew Brees’ arm looks and that they are a one-trick pony on offense. Carolina’s defense looked superb against Washington, and they have been a tough out all season long. The first matchup between these two teams was close, with the Saints coming out on top. However, I think Carolina returns the favor, which could impact the Saints’ seeding in the playoffs.'

Sportsnaut: Saints 31, Panthers 16

Vincent Frank writes: 'Matt Rhule and the Panthers have lost eight of nine since a surprising start to the season. It’s been primarily due to struggles on the defensive side of the ball. This unit has given up 32.6 points in its past five games. In no way does that bode well for being competitive against New Orleans. After some initial struggles in his return from injury back in Week 15 against the Chiefs, Drew Brees responded by throwing three touchdowns. It kept that game close. In Week 16, it was Alvin Kamara’s six touchdown runs that gifted New Orleans a win over the Minnesota Vikings. Now at 11-4, these Saints have something to play for. That should spell doom for Carolina in Week 17.'

Sporting News: Saints 30, Panthers 23

Bill Bender writes: 'The Saints still have a shot at home-field advantage with a little help. Alvin Kamara had 148 total yards in the first meeting, and he will be the difference on the road in yet another one-score loss for the Panthers.'

Payton Matthews writes: 'The Saints are NFC South champions and still have a shot at the NFC’s top seed but would need a win and some help. The Panthers are playing out the string. New Orleans beat Carolina 27-24 in Week 7 as Drew Brees threw for two scores.'

Pro Football Network: Saints 27, Panthers 23

Oliver Hodginkson writes: 'There is still a glimmer of hope for the New Orleans Saints that they can secure home-field advantage. As a result, they should overcome a Carolina Panthers team eliminated from the playoff race some time ago. However, with an expected Green Bay Packers win, the victory may prove fruitless for their playoff outlook anyway.'

CBS Sports broke down the line for the game

John Breech wrote: 'Due to the Packers' win on Sunday, it will be a long shot for the Saints to earn a first-round bye, which means there's definitely a chance that Sean Payton could end up resting a few key players for this game. With that in mind, that could make Carolina the smarter bet here. Not only are the Panthers 4-1 ATS in their past five games against the Saints, but they're also 9-4 ATS in their past 13 games overall, which includes winning outright as an underdog to Washington in Week 16.'
