Did the Panthers achieve the factors they set? by Chris Schafer

The Carolina Panthers improved to 9-0 this past weekend after defeating the Tennessee Titans. This win secures that the Panthers will not have losing record, will not have a .500 record, but have a winning record for this season.

However, this does not mean that the Panthers are guaranteed an NFC South Divisional Championship, or even double digit wins this season. But it could possibly mean the Panthers could go undefeated this season – yes, a crazy thought, but a possibility.

So with seven games left in the regular season, who scares you the most on the Panthers schedule that could prevent the Panthers from winning the NFC South, or going undefeated?

Here is a list of the remaining games for the Panthers in order:

Home: Washington Redskins

Road: Dallas Cowboys

Road: New Orleans Saints

Home: Atlanta Falcons

Road: N.Y. Giants

Road: Atlanta Falcons

Home: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Yes, you are not reading that wrong, the Panthers play the Falcons twice in the last four weeks of the season and twice in a span of three weeks. Crazy scheduling for sure.

However, from an overall standpoint, the Panthers could win each of their remaining games.

But, again, who scares you the most?

Washington could easily be set-up as a trap game, as the Panthers might be looking toward their Thanksgiving Day primetime matchup against the Cowboys.

Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day is easily the most scary game. Tony Romo is likely to be back and likely to be back with a head of steam trying to get the Cowboys into the playoffs.

The Saints normally scare everyone, but this season it seems as if they are not able to keep anyone at bay and their opponents score at will.

The first matchup with the Falcons is next. Two words – Matt Ryan. If he finds his rhythm again, this

could be a scary Falcons team.

The N.Y. Giants also is a scary game. Playing in the cold weather of New York before Christmas, might not go over to well with the Panthers.

Falcons again, all depends on what happens the first game and what Falcons team decides to show up.

Welcome to 2016 and welcome the Buccaneers to Charlotte. The Panthers should end the season with a win.

So what do you think?
