Ladies and Gentlemen, your 2014 NFC South Champion Carolina Panthers!

[Spider-Dan]

The 7-8-1 Panthers, having accomplished the feat of being the second team in North American pro sports history to win a division championship with a losing record, host the 11-5 Arizona Cardinals next Saturday at 4:35PM EST.

In any other pairing, I would not be able to bet against either of these two teams fast enough... but by rule, one of them is required to win.

I have Arizona winning this game and then getting smashed in Seattle in the divisional round.  Your thoughts?

[Dave Gray]

I think that Carolina probably wins this game.  Arizona is over their head, though they've done a great job so far, and they're going to go on the road into a crazy atmosphere.

[MikeO]

I think they win too. Arizona has looked awful for a while now. Plus with all of the public and talking heads on ESPN and in the media in an outrage of how you let a team under .500 into the playoffs and we need rule changes you just know they will win the game now...lol

[Sunstroke]

I thought Carolina underperformed most of the season until the very end.
I thought Arizona over-performed for most of the year.

I see Carolina winning this one at home.

Did EK get banned or something?  I'd expect him to be all over this thread...

[Spider-Dan]

I believe he instituted a self-ban when the Panthers were sucking and the Dolphins appeared competitive.

I expect to see him back and crowing if the Panthers win a game in the playoffs.

Once Tannehill was  proven NOT to be a BUST and was playing extremely well and then on top of that Lamar Miller was averaging over 5 yards per carry he had nothing to rant about anymore as he was proven wrong on well, just about everything. If the Panthers win and with the Wallace news I expect him to be here any day now acting like an ass clown trolling like usual. 

[EDGECRUSHER]

Panthers should win easily. Theyare actually playing good football lately while Arizona died once Palmer went down. They were 9-1 when he got hurt and now they are dead in the water. It's a shame too, they looked like the top NFC team.

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

If the panthers win than 100% of all teams with a losing record to win a div will have a nonlosing post season record

[Spider-Dan]

It's going to be kind of difficult to argue that the system is broken if division champions with losing records get in... when said teams keep winning.

3-8-1 and left for dead to 7-8-1 and set a playoff record for fewest yards given up defensively.  Whover they face in the next round is going to have a tough time with them

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]
