Saints vs Panthers Thursday Night Football game time

The Saints are visiting the Panthers tonight for Thursday Night Football. The game kicks off at 5:25pm Pacific (8:25pm Eastern) and will be televised on NFL Network (no CBS for this one). Here are what the SB Nation team blogs have to say about the game.

Panthers blog, Cat Scratch Reader:

The Panthers are now 3-4-1 after finding yet another way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. But, the good news is the rest of the NFC South sucks too, so... yay us for being the skinniest kids at fat camp?

The Panthers will try to get back on track this week as they welcome the New Orleans Saints to town. The game will take place at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC on Thursday, October 30 at 8:25 p.m. EDT.

Saints blog, Canal Street Chronicles:

Coming off of a heartening win in front of a National audience late Sunday night, the Saints took Monday off, had a very light day on Tuesday, and then headed to Charlotte on Wednesday. With the Panthers having just suffered a defeat when they hosted Seattle on Sunday afternoon, will they fight twice as hard to bounce back and win for their fans at home, especially against a strong division opponent? Will the Saints be motivated enough after Sunday night's victory to take their first road win of the season?

Whoever wins tonight's game will lead the NFC South, meager as that distinction has been so far this season. Another win tonight could put the Saints on a solid course to at least a four-win streak, and have them looking forward from a 7-4 record with so much more promise than they seemed to have just last week.
