Carolina (2-2) at New Orleans (0-3) - 1:00 PM (Sheridan's Line: New
Orleans by 3)
Carolina lost at home to Tampa Bay last week, 20-7. The status of QB
Jake Delhomme's injury is up in the air right now. On the one hand,
there is a slim chance he could start this week against New Orleans.
But there's also a possibility that he will require season-ending
surgery. Most likely he will be out for a least a few more weeks. And
that's bad news, because this team is just not as good with David Carr
starting under center. The Saints had a Bye last week. RB Deuce
McAllister is out for the rest of the season, which means more carries
for (and more pressure on) Reggie Bush. Despite having played one less
game than most other NFL teams through four weeks, the Saints are tied
for fifth in most points allowed. I don't really understand why New
Orleans is the favorite here. Even David Carr should look like an All-
Pro against the Saints defense.
