With the Vikings win over the Packers that means the Panthers will face one of three teams in the conference semi-finals, the Packers, Redskins or Seahawks. The Panthers beat all three teams during the regular season.
The Vikings win means the Vikings captured the #3 seed and will play the 6th seeded Seahawks. Should they Vikings win that game they would play the #2 seed Cardinals while the Panthers would play the winner between the Packers (#5) and Redskins (#4). The Panthers beat the Packers 37-29 in Charlotte week 9 and then the Redskins two weeks later 44-16, again in Charlotte.
