The Carolina Panthers are hot on their first multi-game win streak in ages. Dave Canales has committed to the run. Bryce Young is playing mistake-free football. Ejiro Evero has figured out what linebackers are for and where they go Things are looking pretty rosy in Charlotte as the Panthers are .500 for the first time since Sam Darnold came to town.
Their next two games, however, are classic Panthers losses in waiting. The New York Jets are a winless, hapless mess. They are exactly who the Carolina of old would show up completely unprepared for. They are also on the road, a spot that has been trouble for Young and Canales both. The Buffalo Bills, meanwhile, are a good team the Panthers have no business beating. They will also be coming off of a loss and a bye week. 3-5 through eight weeks feels more likely than 5-3, though 4-4 in any combination is certainly on the table.
We know that confidence is going to be riding high off of two consecutive wins, so let’s take another look at our season win total predictions. We asked this question before the season and after the Panthers opened the season 0-2. Now that your favorite team is 3-3, Panthers fans, how many games do you think they’ll actually win this season?
