I'd be very surprised if any team blows us out this year

5.   Panthers +4 2-0 In a game that was closer than the final score indicated, the Panthers utilized vicious defense and efficient play from Cam Newton to claim victory over the visiting Lions. Their quest to repeat as division champions has defied offseason expectations as they stake an early lead in the division with a 2-0 start for the first time since 2008.

I still have no clue how the Eagles are top 5. They have an average defense and their offense is streaky at best.

too much love for seattle. They got their asses beat by an average SD team. People forget they suck so bad on the road. They very well could lost 5 or 6 games this year and all of them on the road. smh. #1 team yet they got destroyed. Its a new year NFL

Sports Talk Florida has Panthers #1 in NFC, #2 in NFL behind only Broncos

2. Carolina Panthers (2-0):

Cam Newton was back in the lineup this week after missing Carolina’s Week 1 contest due to a rib injury. As a result, the Panthers were able to display complete dominance against Detroit, winning 24-7 with relative ease. If the Panthers can put together another strong showing next week against Pittsburgh, they would make a strong case to take over the number one spot in the power rankings."
