For those fans who are on team tank, they should feel good going into Week 17. Sean Payton won’t be resting his stars this time around and the Saints have won six of their last eight meetings with Carolina. If things break right with the Chargers (Chiefs) and Jaguars (Colts), the Panthers could wind up picking at No. 6 overall.
