Just north of 12 percent of entries received the boot from the massive Vegas Survivor contest Sunday by Circa with a $15 million grand prize when the Packers lost to the Panthers as 14-point favorites. We are down to less than 2,000 contestants still alive as Week 10 comes around in what looks like a gauntlet of a week.

The Panthers proved against the Packers that they can be a playoff team – and Rico Dowdle has three games with 100 or more rushing yards in the last five weeks. The Saints allow 129.4 rushing yards per game, too. Carolina is 3-1 S/U at home this season.
