Numbers of Note

[Chardee MacDennis]

The Panthers have 8 wins this season, by an average of 10 points per win. 4 of the wins were by less than 7 points. The Panthers have lost 4 games by an average of 12.5 points. 

The Panthers lost 3 of their 4 games to 2 of the top teams in the NFC, without Ryan Kalil and Greg Olsen. 

With a loss next week, followed by 3 wins, the Panthers will finish 11-5. The Saints would need to lose 3 games out of 4 to concede the NFC South to Carolina, which is extremely unlikely. 

Therefore, the Saints have won the NFC South division and will play a home game in the playoffs, likely as a 3 seed.

If the Panthers somehow make the playoffs at 10-6 or 11-5, there is a good chance they are the 5th seed.

This means the most likely path to the Super Bowl is away at LA Rams, then away at Minnesota (rematch of next week's loss), followed by away at PHI (also rematch of a loss)....and then most likely facing New England in a Super Bowl rematch. 

That is all I have for now.

Sounds like I should go ahead and start prepping for another letdown for the 2018 season

Yeah we are looking at the 6 or 5 seed.  I think we need to beat GB and TB at home.  I dont see anyway we beat Minn or Atl.

I'm not giving up on us against the Vikings.

If we can't run the ball on the Saints, we sure as hell aren't against the Vikings. Better hope the defense pitches a shutout because points are going to be hard to come by
