The Panthers best path to the playoffs is to win the NFC South. Amazingly, after last weeks’ loss and the Saints dominant 8-1 record, a division crown is still in reach for the Panthers. It is possible, but only just. The team that lost to the Steelers 52-21 last Thursday isn’t going to to do it, but a team motivated by that loss might.
It’s no secret that the Saints are having a hell of a year off the venerated arm of Drew Brees and the lightning, Christian McCaffrey-esque talent of Alvin Kamara.
