Pick Highlights:

• Take out the Taysom Hill games and the Saints move up 5.0% in offensive DVOA and 8.6% in weighted offensive DVOA, which gives more strength to recent games.
• The Panthers defense is vulnerable in a number of areas where the Saints offense excels -- they rank 29th in DVOA in coverage against running backs in the passing game -- not the best weakness to have against Alvin Kamara.
• The Carolina defense is also 29th in adjusted line yards against left end runs, and 26th against right end runs -- you can beat them to the outside.
• Finally, the Panthers defense is 31st in DVOA on third/fourth downs -- they can't get off the field.
