The top video, the first guy that talks (the Pinky, I forget his name off the top of my head somehow) picks the Panthers.

 

In Cam We Trust(?)

Carolina Panthers (7-9)

Fun fact: In the Cam Newton era, the Panthers are 9-3 after Week 12. Their record before Week 12? 4-16. This is why the Panthers get their own category. They're a bizarro team led by a bizarro QB. Newton has been an NFL enigma, and it's difficult to get a grasp on which way this franchise is heading because of it.

We'd stick Carolina in the tier above, but Newton already has gone stretches where he's looked like the most dynamic player in football. Year three will be a fascinating one.

From the NFL Media research team: Four teams finished with an offense and defense ranked in the Top 12 -- the Broncos, Texans, 49ers ... and Carolina Panthers. Go figure.

I don't care about offensive and defensive rankings. The Chargers always had the #1 Defense and Offense when Rivera was there and they sucked. They started off slow and got hot late. Hmm who does that sound like?

Because the Chargers Special Teams were Saints 2012 Defense bad.....like so bad it was humorous

Well - this year we were upgraded (downgraded, sidegraded, road graded, some other sort of graded) to bizzaro!  Bonus points for being completely impossible to predict or figure out?
