My model gives the Carolina Panthers a 1.1% chance to win the Super Bowl, which is 22nd in the NFL.

That stretch won't be as hard as imagined. Every year people make the same mistake of thinking last year's good teams will still be good. Not all of them will be. I expect TB, SF, Arizona and LA won't be as good as you think they'll be. I honestly expect TB to crash and burn this season and Arizona has a prima donna problem and SF has a QB problem most likely. LA is good but Stafford has been abused most of his career. If they lose him they are not the same team.

I think the Huddle is the most realistic it's ever been since Rhule took over as HC. In the past I would read predictions that were outrageous, but now fans are pretty much on target with W/L predictions. Maybe someone might be interested in digging up the W/L predictions for last season, but I remember a lot of 5 or 6 wins predictions. We're getting very accurate.

So I'll chime in with my prediction for the season. I am expecting 7 or 8 wins if CMC stays healthy. If he is injured, then we're around 6 wins depending on how many games he misses.

I guess we’re gonna do this every couple weeks. The NFC sucks overall. A .500 or worse team will most likely get a wildcard spot. No reason that can’t be Carolina even with injuries.

Too many "if's" have to go our way to have a winning season much less make a playoff push. Not going to happen. 

My calculations determine 19 "IFs" must go the panthers way in order to make the playoffs..

No team 8-9 is going to make the playoffs

It almost happened last year and did happen the year before so it’s not hard to wrap your head around.

I would not be so sure about this.

If CMC stays healthy all season I'm going with 10-11 wins this season. When we have him, we have won. Especially under Rhule. That's why are early season record is so much better than our late season one. Plus our O-line is clearly better already. I expect us to be able to run the ball and that will open things up. With CMC all season? It's playoffs baby.

I only made it up to 4 before I determined the odds were less than 0 if you round it to 4 decimal places. Thank you for verifying my rough estimate by carrying it out to 12.
