New Orleans Saints vs Carolina Panthers: Bold Predictions

It’s a pretty common occurrence for fans and analysts to make bold predictions about a game or season. If the prediction doesn’t come true, then that’s OK - you said it was bold! If it DOES come true, though... now you look like a genius!

So in that spirit, some of the Canal Street Chronicles writers were asked to share with me a bold prediction or two for the Week 17 of the regular season for the New Orleans Saints: a meeting in Carolina against the division rival Panthers.

Here are a few of the bold predictions provided by some of the contributors at Canal Street Chronicles:
