5. The Panthers Will Come Out With A Victory

While the Arizona Cardinals are a talented football team, they just don’t have enough going for them against the Carolina Panthers. Last week against the Atlanta Falcons was exactly the type of performance that the Panthers needed to see heading into the playoffs.

Cam Newton is a playmaker that is built for this type of situation, and the Panthers’ defense looks like it could very well be back. The Cardinals aren’t going to get blown out, but they won’t be able to head into Carolina and pull off a win with Ryan Lindley leading the way. It is going to be a very entertaining game, but the Panthers will pull the game out in the second half.

If the Panthers come out and play their game, they are going to be a tough team for anyone to defeat.

Arizona is going to make some key mistakes down the stretch with a young quarterback leading the way, and the Panthers have the leaders and playmakers to capitalize on those mistakes. Carolina will come up with a victory and move on to the divisional round of the NFL Playoffs.
