Biggest factor is not so much the offense, per se, but whether our defense can keep up the big boost in performance from historically awful to spurts of competence. That said...

Chiefs: Bryce could have his career best day while the defense plays inspired and we still lose because they have the football gods (and the refs) on their side. 

Bucs: Mike Evans should be back by this point. That's not good news for us, but division games are always a wild card. Really comes down to whether we can get Mayfield to have a performance like today against the 49ers. There's a chance but not a great one.

Eagles: Too much offensive power to counter.

Cowboys: Most winnable game. If today's performance is their baseline, might also be the only time we'll be favored to win.

Cardinals: This is an odd one. They're leading their division and seem to be playing better than expected. We did lose the last time we faced them, but we historically tend to have their number for some reason. One of those games where we could either lose as expected or mysteriously blow them out.

Bucs: I'll say it comes down to whether our unit as a whole keeps getting a little better with more games. 

Falcons: I'll say no because even if we do get better over time, we can't win a shootout with them.

We could get 5-6 wins.  If the stars align.

Dallas, Arizona, and Tampa at home are possibilities.  

Interesting thing though.  Our game against Tampa could be a battle for second place in the NFC South (showing how bad the division is this year).  

So, with 1 upset over the Chiefs or Eagles, you have the 7-9 Panthers facing the 7-9 Falcons in week 18 for a division title game?

If Dalton, Thielen, and Brooks come back after the BYE, this garbage NFC South division is going to be somewhat entertaining.

      Tells me, after watching Morgan, that we will see a very active FA period trying to get us to taking BPA.

      Are you all assuming Smith is telling the truth? Since when is he a truth person? He's a prick and the truth is not in him. Sorry, not sorry.

      Jeremy Fowler: Don’t be surprised if Carolina makes some big moves on defense

      By CarolinaLivin · Posted

      More From the article... Something an NFL head coach said to me, unsolicited: "Watch for Tua [Tagovailoa] in Atlanta." If the Panthers lose running back Rico Dowdle in free agency, I don't think they'll rush to find an external replacement. They have Chuba Hubbard under contract, they like second-year back Trevor Etienne's promise and they're optimistic on 2024 second-round pick Jonathon Brooks, who has played only three games in his career because of injuries. I'm told Brooks is making good progress in his rehab and was up over 21 mph on the treadmill in a recent workout. Carolina is at least hopeful that Brooks can contribute this season, though obviously, his health history will always make that a question. Wide receiver Jalen Coker could receive a contract extension in Carolina. Panthers center Cade Mays: Some teams anticipate he could make $8 million per year on a new deal. Fowler: Mike Evans will limit his choices to a handful of teams in part because of his criteria. He wants a quarterback he believes in, a chance at a Super Bowl, a top-shelf offensive coordinator and the promise of high-volume touches. Only so many teams fit that mold. The Buccaneers will aggressively pursue re-signing Evans and met with his agent, Deryk Gilmore, on Thursday. Teams I expect to see gauge the free agent RB market include the Chiefs, Texans and Giants, among others. Carolina's Rico Dowdle and Atlanta's Tyler Allgeier are both free agents their respective teams would consider bringing back at the right contractual price, but I expect both to get a chance to hit free agency and see if they can get starter-level money elsewhere. Graziano: The Falcons will release Kirk Cousins before the start of the league year, when his $67.9 million salary would become fully guaranteed under the terms of his reworked contract. Atlanta has to pay Cousins a $10 million roster bonus this year, whether he's on the team or not, but it does not appear to be interested in bringing back Cousins. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48045815/2026-nfl-combine-latest-buzz-news-rumors-free-agency-draft-qbs-trades-offseason
