Saints vs. Panthers Monday Night Football Betting Pick: Can Chris Olave Have a Big Game Tonight?
Chris Olave continued to impress in the season opener, finishing with ten targets, eight receptions, and 112 yards, but Michael Thomas and Rashid Shaheed are the two New Orleans receivers getting a ton of love tonight. As a result, Olave’s line is about five yards lower than where it opened, and I’ll gladly take the over at 68.5.

New Orleans Saints vs. Carolina Panthers Prediction
Olave saw a 30.3% team target share of 34.3% air yards and was Derrick Carr’s first read on 31.6% of his attempts. It’s clear Olave is the top dog in the Saint’s offense, and I expect him to have another big game.
The Panthers are without Jaycee Horn, their top cornerback, leaving their secondary short-handed. Carolina also runs a ton of zone, which is key for Olave. He ate up the Titans' defense in Week 1 for six receptions and 84 yards when they were in zone. Olave has played one career game at Bank of America Stadium, and he posted nine catches for 147 yards in that game. Look for him to deliver another solid performance tonight.
