The New Orleans Saints host the Carolina Panthers at Caesars Superdome in their 2024/25 NFL curtain-raiser this weekend.
The Saints prevailed in both of their regular season showdowns with the Panthers last season, and will be keen to extend that record with a two-point haul when the two sides lock-horns on Sunday.
Carolina finished 2-15 in what was a hugely disappointing 2023/24 season, but having brought in a new coaching staff and front office team committed to building around their supremely-talented first overall Draft pick Bryce Young, there are fresh hopes leading into the new campaign.
Carolina Panthers @ New Orleans Saints is available to watch live via bet365's Live Streaming service, whilst subscribers of the NFL GamePass can also take in the action.
Major plays from the game, including touchdowns, will be shown live on NFL RedZone, which will be shown on Sky Sports Mix.
Carolina Panthers @ New Orleans Saints will take place at the revamped Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, USA, with the game scheduled for an 18:00 (BST) start on Sunday 8th September 2024.
Victories in each of last season's two meetings means the New Orleans Saints edge the head-to-head regular season record between the sides 30-28.
That record actually extends to 31-28 if you take into consideration the 2017 NFL Wild Card showdown, which was won by the Saints on home soil.
The Saints also boast a winning home record in this fixture, although the Panthers have performed admirably at the Superdome, notching victories in 14 of the 30 matchups there (including the 2017 playoff encounter).
Despite the Saints being priced up as the odds-on favourites to prevail on Sunday, it's worth noting that almost 29 of the 58 meetings have been decided by just eight points or less.
Carolina Panthers wins | 28 |
