Overwhelming underdogs? Carolina Panthers know that drill, and what can happen

Carolina Panthers cornerback Captain Munnerlyn was eating lunch and watching ESPN this week when he saw an item roll across the scroll:

The Panthers have a 30 percent chance of beating the Saints in their NFC wild-card game Sunday, according to ESPN’s football power index.

Munnerlyn was taken aback a bit.

“I was like, man, it’s the playoffs. It’s anybody’s game. Both teams are 11-5,” Munnerlyn said. “We know they beat us twice already, don’t get me wrong. But it’s the playoffs. It’s a new season. Nobody cares about record. Nobody cares about who’s their quarterback and things like that.
