The New Orleans Saints are riding a three-game winning streak into their season finale against the Carolina Panthers. The first meeting between these teams went to the Panthers in Week 3 in Carolina. The rematch in New Orleans on Sunday comes a week after both teams were eliminated from playoff contention. The Panthers fell last week at Tampa Bay. That result also eliminated the Saints from NFC South contention. The Saints posted a surprising victory at NFC-leading Philadelphia last week.
