Week 12: vs. Seattle Seahawks (11/25)

This used to be a marquee game on the Panthers schedule as the Seahawks were dominating the NFC and the Panthers struggled to beat them. However, this is not the same Seahawks team from a few years ago and the Legion of Boom only has one player left. The Seahawks still have Russell Wilson so they shouldn’t be taken lightly but the Panthers on paper clearly look like the better team.

Prediction: Win (7-4)

Week 13: at Tampa Bay Bucs (12/2)

As mentioned previously, the Bucs don’t look to be on the same level as the rest of the NFC South. The Panthers have also had success playing in Tampa Bay and have won four of their last five trips there. At this point the Panthers should squarely be in the playoff picture and will be focused. Their annual trip to Tampa Bay should mean another win for this franchise.

Prediction: Win (8-4)
