Arizona at Carolina

The Carolina Panthers rolled through the regular season and trounced the defending NFC champions in impressive fashion. Up next on the agenda? A date with the Arizona Cardinals with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. 

The Panthers have been one of the most dominant teams in recent history, but they haven't faced an offense quite like Arizona's. The two teams didn't meet in the regular season, which adds some intrigue to the matchup. 

Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer is coming off a 349-yard, three touchdown performance in Arizona's dramatic overtime win against the Green Bay Packers, carrying his team as the run game failed. Against Carolina's second-ranked run defense, the Cardinals may have to rely on the arm of the 36-year-old once again as he tries to make his first Super Bowl appearance and Arizona's first since 2008.

On the other side of the ball, Cam Newton will look to lead the Panthers to their second Super Bowl appearance in franchise history. After jumping out to a 31-0 lead in the first half against the Seahawks in the Divisional Round, Newton wasn't asked to do a whole lot the rest of the way. Still, the likely NFL MVP has been nearly mistake-free over the last nine weeks, racking up 27 total touchdowns with just one interception. 

In a battle of air against ground, which offense will get it done and lead its team to victory? According to our NFL simulation engine, the Panthers will keep their magical season alive with a hard-fought win at home. Our engine has the Panthers narrowly edging out the Cardinals by an average score of 20-19, winning the game 53.1 percent of the time.

I'm not taking most people's predictions seriously at this point. Lot of people were off with their predictions of how the game against seattle would go. Oddly enough there were a decent # of huddlers who predicted a blowout and it was just that for the 1st half anyway. Lot of other people though were saying both team's defenses were so good it would keep it to a low scoring close game throughout and look what the hell happened.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
