Why are people so butthurt? He’s saying bet the over at 4.5 wins. Not like he’s saying bet the over at 8 or 9 wins. And he’s not the first person I’ve seen make the Jaguars comparison. Trevor Lawrence’s rookie season numbers with a complete train wreck around him were just as terrible as Bryce’s. It’s not really that crazy.

Nobody is butthurt and it's 5.5 and he is saying panthers are going to win 8 or 9 which is pretty wild all things considered.  He is just leaning into his hot take and making the radio/podcast rounds.

I mean I think the best case scenario has to hit for the Panthers and everyone else in the NFCS has to hit their worst case scenario. 

Personally, I think this is the year that NO finally collapses and I think they finish 4th in the division regardless. 

ATL is overrated but still likely a 6-9 win team.

TB plays tough football, their defense will be there but their success depends on the offense, they too are a 6-9 win team. 

The Panthers are probably 4-6 wins at best. If they find some sort of momentum during the season and get 7-8 wins, and TB and ATL struggle then maybe but I find it very unlikely.

It's just a talking head.  Talking about gambling. If anybody takes the under on 4.5 wins, they're most likely losing their money.  

So he's only saying if you want to bet on a possible sleeper, take the over.  It's not rocket science. 

Pathetic that so many on the huddle have reduced themselves to posting purely trash every time they hit the submit button.

That's why they play the games.  I think they win 5 or 6.  Remember, the 99 Rams went from 4 wins in 1998 to 16 wins in 1999 with a former grocery store clerk at QB.  There were many experts who were mocking Dick Vermeil before the 99 season.  It is unlikely, but if our Defense can get pressure and stay healthy, the offense could figure it out.  I am not predicting this, but I am not burying the Panthers in June either.

This is a team that will struggle to get to 5 wins and avoid being the worst team in the NFCS. This guy is obviously working for the house as a 'gambling specialist' because all that money will end up in their hands if you follow his advice. Calling all suckers. It's not even a football take but a betting take lol. And the Jets are favored to win in 14 games after Rodgers couldn't finish 1 offensive series last year LOL. If you are not making fun of this than you missed the point.

Same. we think we know, but until the games are being played, we don't know.

We have known for years and we know this year. The big question is will it be pick #1 again or pick #10.

The last time I didn't know was 2019 and how one-sided that D was. Cam went down and then it became known. Since then nothing has really changed just a revolving door of failures and mismatched personel and schemes.

    • Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter
    • my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.   
    • It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
