Carolina Panthers (0-3)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Panthers had a few supporters when the season started who thought their powerhouse rushing attack could help them sneak up in the NFC North. But most bettors and pundits expected them to flop. DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart could only do so much if the Panthers couldn\u2019t pass the ball, stop the run or rush the passer.<\/p>\n

The pessimists were right. 2010 couldn\u2019t be going worse for the Panthers so far. Matt Moore at least looked like a competent quarterback down the stretch last season but was a train wreck when he debuted this year. He lasted a game and a half before getting benched for Jimmy Clausen. The rookie out of Notre Dame hasn\u2019t fared much better thus far, completing 47.9 per cent of his passes and failing to throw a touchdown.<\/p>\n

Since opposing defenses don\u2019t have to respect Carolina\u2019s passing game at all, they\u2019re keying on Williams and Stewart. The Panthers are averaging 98.3 rushing yards per game; that\u2019s not a horrific number but it\u2019s a far cry from the NFC-best 156.1 yards per game they averaged last season. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Panthers\u2019 \u201cD\u201d hasn\u2019t been horrible, ranking 14th<\/sup> overall, but the Giants, Buccaneers and Panthers aren\u2019t exactly a who\u2019s who of elite offenses and they all did enough to beat Carolina. The Saints on the road will be a much tougher test this week.<\/p>\n

New Orleans Saints (2-1)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The defending world champion New Orleans Saints haven\u2019t been picture-perfect in their quest for a repeat so far this season but they haven\u2019t had a break on the schedule yet. First was their home opener against the Minnesota Vikings; then was a tough road battle in San Francisco. Last week, the Saints should\u2019ve beaten the Falcons in overtime but Garrett Hartley missed a chip-shot field goal.<\/p>\n

Still, even though the Saints could easily be 3-0, there are some potential cracks in the armor. The passing game remains stellar with Drew Brees at the helm and the Saints are doing a great job forcing turnovers as always on defense. But the Saints rank 30th<\/sup> in run defense and are dead last in rushing offense. Reggie Bush is out with a broken leg and Pierre Thomas hasn\u2019t moved the chains very well.<\/p>\n

The pick: <\/strong><\/p>\n

In theory, Carolina\u2019s rushing attack could give the Saints problems this week, but Jimmy Clausen\u2019s struggles should keep the Panthers from moving the ball. A rookie quarterback in a loud building facing a secondary that loves to ballhawk should result in multiple turnovers. Carolina could fall behind early and will have no choice but to abandon the run.<\/p>\n

The Panthers are also really struggling to pressure the quarterback with Julius Peppers gone, tallying just two sacks in three games. With time to throw, Brees should have a big day as the Saints romp.<\/p>\n
