Predict The Remaining Schedule

[Kentucky Panther]

We are sitting at 7-6, half a game back in the division. Bye week on deck. What is our final record and do we make the playoffs? Do we win the division or make a wildcard spot? 
 

Have to beat the Saints. Assuming they won’t sweep us this season. I think we get Tampa at home, but lose to them on the road. Toss up game is Seattle. 
 

Tampa has us twice, Saints at home, Atlanta at home, and at Miami. 

I say we get to 10-7.  Not sure what the tiebreaker would be with the Bucs but I think that would be good enough to get, at the least, a wildcard spot.

I'd be curious to see what happens against Seattle week 17 if we are tied with Tampa (win at NO and at home against the Bucs). Since we likely don't get a wildcard because Chicago/GB and SF/LAR/Seattle will all likely have a better record (not to mention possibly Dallas and DET), that game could be meaningless because week 18 at Tampa will decide the division whether we win or lose vs. Seattle.

I doubt we rest our starters, but that could be a game we could theoretically rest up key players for the last game of the season.

Regardless, if we don't win at NO and sweep Tampa, we aren't making the playoffs. 10-7 won't get it done with how stacked the NFC is.

@Saints - L

Bucs - W

Seahawks - W

Bucs - L

Which, if it goes that way.....I don't think anyone should be upset. I had predicted all season long a 4-7 win season and anything close to or above .500 is absolutely ahead of schedule.

I still don't know what to think of us but a 8-9 win season would be a Tepper first and 9+ would literally only be the 2nd winning season in the past 10 years in Carolina.
