The good news: Vegas, along with most local experts, pick the Saints to win this Sunday.
The not-so-good news: One of those picking this as a "trap game" is Saints color analyst Hokie Gajan.
"I think that if there is a trap game for New Orleans, this is it," Hokie said.
Hokie sees the Carolina running game as a major threat to the Saints' undefeated ways.
"I'm looking for Carolina to just come out there, and just say, 'we're going to stick to the run, and we're going pound it down the Saints' throat," according to Gajan."
However, NFL analyst Mike Detillier says that he sees the Saints pulling out a tough-fought win.
"I think the Saints win it, 31-27," Detillier said. "But, this may be the closest game the Saints play this season."
And, former Saints quarterback Bobby Hebert says he sees the Saints walking away with a win this season over the Panthers in the Superdome.
"I don't think the Saints necessarily cover, but I think it will be a double-digit win," Hebert said. "I'm going to go with the Saints 34, the Panthers 24."
