The Carolina Panthers know what they have to do. Win their next two games, and head coach Dave Canales' squad will secure the NFC South championship and clinch a playoff spot. Sounds easy, but there will be plenty of twists and turns to come.
Carolina got a helping hand from the Atlanta Falcons' success over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, giving them sole custody of the division lead. That boosted morale, but it counts for nothing if they don't beat the New Orleans Saints.
Canales is calling for supreme focus. The Panthers have already been caught out by the Saints this season. They cannot let the same happen again — not when the stakes are higher than ever.

Bryce Young prop bets
The Saints played Bryce Young perfectly in their first meeting. They took away the running game and put the onus firmly on the quarterback to come through for his squad. He never looked comfortable during a dismal performance, so he'll be eager to put things right and get the Panthers to within one triumph of winning the NFC South.
Young's over/under for passing yards in Week 15 is 195.5 with FanDuel Sportsbook, which is available at -112 in both directions (bet $112 to win $100). He is projected to complete around 18.5 passes from 29.5 attempts. The former Alabama star's over/under for passing touchdowns is 1.5.
- Over 1.5 passing touchdowns: +122 (bet $100 to win $122)
- Under 1.5 passing touchdowns: -154 (bet $154 to win $100)
