Last Woman Standing goes for 3rd straight NFL winner

The Last Woman Standing is heating up again.

Amber Hanover, who won Station Casinos’ NFL Last Man Standing contest last year, won her second straight pick last week, prevailing with the Buffalo Bills +2½ in a 33-21 win over the New England Patriots.

A victory this week would lock up a winning season for Hanover for the Review-Journal.

Here’s Hanover’s free play for this week:

Panthers +6½

Carolina has lost five in a row straight up and against the spread, but Hanover said she thinks the Panthers have a real chance to upset New Orleans on Sunday.

“They already beat the Saints,” she said. “No reason why they won’t again.”

The Panthers whipped New Orleans 26-7 as 3-point home underdogs in Week 2.

The Saints might get Taysom Hill back at quarterback, but Hanover said she expects a tight, low-scoring rivalry game.

“Even with Hill, who cares?” she said.

Last week: 1-0

Season: 8-6-1
