Despite the Carolina Panthers getting healthier (hopefully) on defense and moving the offense forward in Year 2 of the Cam Newton Experience, Vegas is predicting another 6-10 record for the Panthers.

Week 1: Carolina Panthers (+3) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Week 2: New Orleans Saints* (-2.5) at Carolina Panthers

Week 3: New York Giants (PICK) at Carolina Panthers

Week 4: Carolina Panthers (+4.5) at Atlanta Falcons

Week 5: Seattle Seahawks (+3.5) at Carolina Panthers

Week 6: Bye

Week 7: Dallas Cowboys (+1) at Carolina Panthers

Week 8: Carolina Panthers (+4) at Chicago Bears

Week 9: Carolina Panthers (+1) at Washington Redskins

Week 10: Denver Broncos (PICK) at Carolina Panthers

Week 11: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+6) at Carolina Panthers

Week 12: Carolina Panthers (+7) at Philadelphia Eagles

Week 13: Carolina Panthers (+3) at Kansas City Chiefs

Week 14: Atlanta Falcons (+1) at Carolina Panthers

Week 15: Carolina Panthers (+5.5) at San Diego Chargers

Week 16: Oakland Raiders (+4.5) at Carolina Panthers

Week 17: Carolina Panthers at New Orleans Saints* (Note: No line is given for Week 16 so I am assuming the Saints* will be favored in New Orleans after being favored by in Week 2 in Carolina.)

At worst I see them going 8-8. But 6-10? Again? Unless there's some massive injuries to key players I don't see that happening.

As we discussed in the other thread, betting lines and spreads are not designed to predict who is going to win or lose. They are designed to ensure that betting is equally distributed between both teams by favoring one or the other. As the betting develops, they move up or down to equalize the betting so that no matter who wins, Vegas makes money. Obviously they are correlated to who they think are the stronger or weaker teams based on the off-season or draft, but do change, sometimes substantially.

For all you guys that said we will be 10-6 its time to put your money where your mouth is.I think I am putting money on the Seattle game at the very least.Look at the spread difference in the two Tampa games.....does not make alot of sense

I feel pretty confident, with no major injuries, we have a winning season.

Yea much will have to do with who comes back healthy..ie Beason,Davis Otah Edwards and keeping everyone healthy.One study showed we have been 30th and 31st in the league based on a weighted average of injuries.

The biggest joke is the 40-1 to win the Superbowl, on the same line as Seattle and Miami, even after all the Saints* issues, and us literally handing the Falcons two games last year. A $25 bet into $1,000 is insane for the greatest rookie to ever play the game (therefore logically the likely greatest to ever play the game) in his first full offseason, the best backfield in the league, and a healthy D.

So put down your money. It's a great opportunity, not a joke.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.

      They will still be a playoff team but they aren't contenders anymore IMO. They won't be able to spend like they have when they went to a SB and proved he couldn't carry a win at that level with a really good team around him. Now he is going to have to do it with less to spend around him. They just locked in to being a playoff bound team that's going to be a known speed bump for whoever will represent the NFC in the SB.

      Hmm. I think he'll live up to it. Last year, about half of his team was on IR it seems, at one time or another. Year before, Super Bowl appearance. Year before that, playoff run after being third on the depth chart and being pressed into service. Is he one of the greatest in the game right now? Nope. No chance of that. Is he in the top 10 going into next season? Pretty good chance of that.  Would 20 or more teams in this league love to have the guy as their starting QB. Most likely so. He's a good QB who can implement his coach's game plan to a T and has both the confidence of and confidence in his teammates. That'll take you a long way in this league if you've got the right cast around you, and he does.
