The New Orleans Saints suffered a narrow defeat against the Carolina Panthers, losing 23-22. This loss marked a setback for the Saints as they continue to navigate a challenging season. The close score reflects the competitive nature of their recent games, but it underscores the difficulties the team has faced in securing wins.

Carolina earned its second win of the season against the Saints, improving to 2-7 overall. Bryce Young, in his fourth start, led the team to victory, though the Panthers are still struggling with a 1-3 record in games he has started. With a challenging schedule ahead, including matchups against Kansas City and Philadelphia, Carolina is eager for a win before heading into their bye week. The team has been underperforming against the spread, sitting at 2-7 ATS, and has shown a tendency to hit the Over more frequently than the Giants. Key players like Adam Thielen and Tommy Tremble are dealing with injuries, which could impact their performance in the upcoming game.

The New York Giants are struggling this season with a 2-7 record and have lost four straight games, three of which were by 10 points or fewer. They had opportunities to secure a win against Washington but ultimately fell short in a 27-22 loss. This matchup against Carolina is crucial for the Giants as they aim to enter their bye week on a positive note. Daniel Jones has shown flashes of potential, throwing a season-high two touchdowns last week, but has also struggled with consistency, having games with zero touchdowns. The Giants are favored in this international game, marking the first time this season they are in that position.

Tommy Tremble is listed as questionable for the upcoming game due to a back injury. His availability could impact the Panthers' offensive strategy, particularly in the passing game, as he has been a key target in the offense.

Adam Thielen is listed as questionable for the game against the Giants due to a hamstring injury. His status could impact the Panthers' offensive strategy, especially as they look to build on their recent win and improve their season record.
