Panthers heavily picked to lose by NFL "experts"

[MadHatter]

If this game were in a Carolina, most would be picking the Panthers.

The dome is one of the toughest places to play. They are getting the love because of home field advantage.

Patriots had won how many games in a row going into the Super Bowl against the Giants?

 

I'll wait.

 

UConn's women's team won 90 games before losing to Stanford in 2010. While rational fans recognized that you can still lose to a top team even riding a 90 game streak, I guess there were also people with your logic that thought a streak means you can't lose.

 

I understand where he was coming from. You said "I think we will lose"... There is no reason to think we will lose this game after NO just got demolished in Seattle. We're on a roll, winners of 8 straight, and playing a team that just got blown out by a team that is very similar to us. Believe in your team. I won't be shocked if we lose, but I definitely expect to win. All streaks do come to an end, but there is no reason ours has to end this week.

Well I do think we're going to lose. I think the Saints will outplay us in their house. I also expected to lose to the Giants and Niners as well, but at least this isn't the one I've been least confident in.

Funk that, lets bum rush these fools, I expect Rivera to put on a coaching clinic

I don't care who the experts pick. What I care about is what the Panthers do on the field. They always play the Saints tough and I expect the same on Sunday.

What's wrong with picking the Saints to win?

[SevenSixes]

Remember, 

You only get picked by the "expurts" when  they have exhausted all other options.

I expect nothing less. 

Cowards will keep picking the "standard" line until they are buried by it. Then it becomes "conventional wisdom"..

that means you're a panther hater!!!!!!! or at least thats what the huddle told me.

[intangiblejohnny]

Hell yeah we win. To paraphrase Steve, "if we start off big, the dome counts for nothing.

[camtheone]

Who cares....everyone has picked against since San Fran....then hated on us against NE.....love to be underdogs.   KEEP POUNDING!!!

Only when NO plays well. Let them sputter in the first QT. That place will be so silent that you will hear the mice squeak.

LOL. This was one of the most subtle, yet deep cutting jabs at the superdome iv ever read. You didn't say the place would be so quiet you 'could', hear a mouse squeak, you straight up implied there are mice inhabiting that s**t hole dome and we will actually hear them squeak come Sunday night. Lol, just brilliant mate.

[Toundra]

Based on their ranking, we are with the right guy !

Works for me, Panthers play better as an underdog.  With that said, I've said all along, I thought we would split with the saints (them in the dome, us at home).  Because of that, I predict we lose the division on a tiebreaker with both teams at 12-4.  IF though, we win this game, my prediction changes, and I think we win the division because the Saints will have a hard time going to Charlotte, in late December against one of the best defenses I've ever seen.  Because of this, as far as the regular season is concerned, this is the most important game we have the rest of the way and will determine if we play a home playoff game.
