Over the past three weeks, the Detroit Lions have faced some really good teams. On the surface, it looks like that trend will continue with the 6-3 Panthers coming into town. While Carolina certainly does some things incredibly well, they’re coming off an embarrassing loss to the Steelers last week on “Thursday Night Football” and may not be as good as their record suggests. Let’s take a closer look at the 2018 Carolina Panthers.
Carolina Panthers
11-5 record (Second in the NFC South)

Overall DVOA: 9th (17th on offense, 7th on defense)
