4:30 PM - Colts at Ravens

8:30PM - Vikings at Packers

Two pretty bad matchups considering the Packers and Colts are totally out of playoff contention . 

Raven's have huge incentive to win this game . They pretty much have to win this game to get into the AFC playoff picture. Colts have huge incentive to lose this game , because they have a chance to get as high as the #2 pick in the draft . Also rumors they're going to clean house with the coaching staff, pair #2 picks across the board in the draft with luck coming back and possibly a much better coach coming to town, they could be a pretty interesting team to watch next year. NOT this year though apparently. Expect a blowout.

2nd matchup is at least a little more interesting since its at Green Bay. Vikings are flying high and have more to play for than the Packers since they can still technically get the #1 seed in the NFC if Phily loses out and Vikes win out. I think Green Bay makes this a closer game than the 1st since its at home and they at least have some talent on offense, and Hundley had a few starts under his belt this season. This game, we actually have a lot of incentive to watch . If the Packers pull off a miracle and knock the Vikings down to 11-4 and suddenly we have a decent shot at the #2 seed (we would have to beat TB while the Saints and Rams would both have to lose).

The Viking losing is absolutely the miracle game that probably wont happen. BUT if it happens, I'm feeling pretty good for our chances to steal the 2 seed. Titans vs Rams is in Nashville, and the Titans are playing for a playoff spot, they could be outsted from the playoff race with a loss so they will at least give the Rams a run for their money I'm betting. Falcons obviously have all the motivation in the world, win out they win the division. And we have no business losing to the Bucs.

Also, Titans are far better at home this year than on the road.

I think the titans will loose BUT the rams play jimmy G and the 9ers week 17.

Yeah I'm thinking they'll drop one of those. Much less confident in the Vikings losing one of their last two though. And less confident in the Aints losing one of their next two as well. I doubt there's really any real chance the Falcons wins tomorrow in NO with NO playing with the division on the line and after the first loss.

Vikings were on a 8-0 run before we beat them, no one on the planet was predicting the Panthers to win haha besides some huddlers anyway

I understand the first part, but don't try comparing the upcoming two games to the Panthers game. We were 8-4 at the time and it was in Carolina. The Packers are 3-5 without Rodgers and have looked utterly terrible only barely beating the worst team in the league in OT and also slipping by another terrible team in TB. And then the Bears in MN... Extremely unlikely. 

I'm just tempering expectations. I fully expect us to win out and the Aints to drop one with us winning the division. I just think the odds are too long for the 2 seed.

      The Evolution of the Panthers WR Room from 2023 to 2025

      I'm more impressed with the UDFA that the guys they have drafted in the first the last 2 years. A whole lot of prove it is still needed before any improvement should be talked about seriously.

      PANTHERS @ HURRICANES ROUND 3 GAME 1

      By PantherChris · Posted

      While I don't believe its a must win, (we have been better on the road this post season) it is definitely A NEED TO WIN the longer this series goes the more pronounced the Canes advantage on rest and health will be! If we hold serve at home in games 1 and 2 guaranteeing a 6 game minimum series for them if we lose the road games..... by the game 4 and 5 I expect them to be beat they have played A LOT OF HOCKEY the last three years, they have MINIMAL rest off a more physical than one might have expected series vs the leafs.... you know Tampa took their pound of flesh in round 1 from them. Combine all that with the fact that even though this year's canes squad isn't as talented as last years this IS a better squad than the one they swept last time that had McKenzie Mckeathern on line 1 Turbo with a broken hand a banged uo and eventually concussed Slavin (and even though it was a sweep 6 OTS and 4 1 goal losses is hardly dominant)  This year Bob hasn't been superman (hes probably gonna still have a great save percentage agiast us just a side effect of our style) Thatchuk is maybe 50% (3 game winners agiast us) their defense no longer has Gudas and several other downgrades.  While the Canes have a healthy and performing Svechnikov along with other big guys to counteract florida like Carrier, Jankowski, Robinson.   I by know means think it will happen but I either see this as a low scoring dog fight or a series were the canes surprise and end up dominating.
