Week 12 is upon us and the New Orleans Saints are preparing to welcome the division rival Carolina Panthers into the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

The last two weeks of New Orleans Saints’ football has been a roller coaster at best.

They went into the bye as a 7-1 team and one of the most exciting teams in the NFL. They left the bye and lost a horrific game to the 1-7 Atlanta Falcons. The next week, in week 11, they put on a defensive show in Tampa Bay routing the Buccaneers 34-17.

Now they find themselves at the end of the first stretch of divisional rivals.

They went straight from Atlanta to Tampa Bay and are now facing Carolina. The 8-2 New Orleans Saints are the best all-around team in the NFC and maybe the NFL. With a complete package, the defense and the offense have shown very few weaknesses.

The Carolina Panthers are coming off of a week 11 loss to the Atlanta Falcons 29-3. The now 5-5 Panthers are going to look to make their bounce back from a Falcons loss just like we did against the Buccs.

However, they will be met with a little more opposition.

For the Saints to continue to play at the level they are playing, a lot is being demanded out of second-string players and those we would consider “sleepers.”

Here are the top three secret weapons the New Orleans Saints will unleash against Carolina.
