Matchup Breakdown

How the model sees it unfold — the matchups that decide the game, from 50 simulations
In the Trenches
  • The Panthers' quarterback should have time; the Saints win just 49% of reps for 5.0 sacks a game, led by Chase Young (3.3 sacks, 8.2 pressures a game).
  • The Saints' line should hold up: the Panthers win just 50% of their reps, mustering 3.7 sacks and 15.0 pressures a game (Jaelan Phillips (3.0 sacks, 7.2 pressures a game) the one to watch).
Through the Air
  • Chris Olave is the engine of the Saints' passing game — 68 yds a game on 43% separation.
  • Tetairoa McMillan should find soft spots all day, open 51% of the time for 51 yds a game.
  • Mike Jackson (Panthers) is the stopper here, allowing open looks on only 36% of his coverage snaps with 1.0 INT a game.
On the Ground
  • On the ground, the Saints ride Travis Etienne Jr.: 11 carries, 48 yds a game (4.5 a carry), doing his damage off right tackle.
  • Chuba Hubbard is the workhorse for the Panthers, churning 55 yds a game at 3.8 a carry, finding room off the right edge.
