Over/Under Win Total(s) for Carolina

[LinvilleGorge]

Before I clicked the thread, I was thinking 7ish. IMO, they're spot on with this O/U.

0-17 wins??

You'll be legend in the Huddle if this comes to pass.  

Of course, there won't be anyone left here other than Igo if it does.

I mean, if I don't get that prediction right, I will assume the apocalypse has happened.

Everything this season rides on the back of Sam.  If he excels, the sky is the limit for this team.  Going to be one of the more entertaining story lines to follow early in the season.  Personally I think Joe Brady schemes his ever loving ass off, and makes Darnold look like a million bucks.  I am expecting a career year from Darnold and AT LEAST a Top 10 offensive showing for the whole team.  Getting CMC back should do wonders for them, as he had 6 TDs in 3 games last season.

10 wins minimum or the season is a failure. As long as we are relatively healthy there’s no excuse.

I am going with 9-8. The defense hopefully is much improved which takes pressure off the offense. Darnold just has to be decent to good for this offense to click. The worst thing he can do is try to do too much instead of distribute the ball to his playmakers and let them do the heavy lifting.

I just don’t see the Saints as being a “brutal” matchup. Same with Tampa really - we will play them tough and Brady could still hit that wall at any time

Agreed, there's not a chunk of that schedule that makes me nervous.

9-8  from the gut feels

@joemacyou're the only one here who makes note of this crucial difference in this year, and last.  Everyone has it all riding on Darnold's effectiveness, but CMC's return, the open lanes he'll find from Tremble's blocks, the TE improvement, and the depth of our defense -- these will all result in more wins from last year, regardless of whether Darnold does better than Teddy (which I'm convinced will be the case.)

Our schedule is against weaker teams, we've improved our roster with a strong draft, and CMC is healed.

9-10 wins easy, IMO.  I just bet 200 to win 220 on Over 7 1/2. (money up where my mouth is)

Just a reminder that a team's performance is not correlated to strength of schedule and never has been.

Having said that I am taking the under.

Optimistic Take:  11-6  Young players over achieve and team surprises w/two or three wins late in the season.  Playoffs?

Pessimistic Take:  5-12  Black Cat Curse Strikes Again.  Rhule is a fool, Darnold is a dud and the Panthers end the season with more questions than answers.  

Basically this but my optimistic take is 9-8/10-7.

I hate when some smarty program agrees with me, before I posted my mine. 

Before the draft I was 5-11, about one week after 7-10. (I have to remind other and myself, other team got better too.......) Still...

Thats where Im at currently 7-10.
