ESPN Says The Panthers Only have a 35% Chance to Win Thursday Night vs Pittsburgh? Do You Agree With This?

[Verge]

I think the record for home teams on TNF is kind of bonkers 

[GoPanthers123]

Historically Nov-Dec is our best months so I like our chances against Pitt.

You’re right. Through 9 weeks the away team has only won twice. PHI over a shitty NYG and DEN over a shitty ARI. 

 

The odds aren’t in our favor to win this

63% of all percentages are made up

This is my thought.  I do pickems and I always pick home team unless it's a clear better road team, IE NE at home vs Bills.  Just raw split is like 70% win rate for home teams because the short week is much harder for a road team than it is for a road team.  That said, because it's not a timezone change I think that plays into our favor and creates a normal style road game scenario.

Norv been saving something special for this game.  Gave them just enough tape for the Steelers D to have nightmares on a short week.

Doesn't really matter, we're playing with house money in this game. It's an AFC opponent, on the road, and we don't need the W for our record since we probably only need 5 more wins for a Wild Card berth with 8 games remaining. They call it Thursday Night fugball for a reason, I would take anything that happens in this game with a grain salt.

Yeah!  Also, your not playing the game at home... 

Road games on the road are tough.

Way to go for mediocre... We want to win the division and a loss will put us even further behind the Saints.  Until the Saints lose, ALL games are big

[Wolfpack352]

We can beat anybody.....But Big Ben is gonna have a field day picking apart our soft secondary D unless we rattle him early.  Nail biter!!

[TherapyTime]

After our last 3 wins, I think we can overcome the odds and beat the Steelers by 14. We are putting together great games and the offense and defense have been picking up for each other. This type of complementary play is exactly what you need to beat good teams in tough times.

[Shocker]

The Steelers always play us tough and usually beat us.  If we win this one it will be extremely impressive.

Steelers have owned the Panthers since our only win in '96. In 5 losses since then the average score is 32-12 (rounding off). Closest loss was 10 pts in '99.

It's way past time to beat these MF'rs.
