NFL Playoffs 2016: 5 reasons Carolina Panthers will still make it
By Kareem Gantt
5. The Panthers will have the schedule somewhat on their side
When you look at the Panthers remaining schedule, you will look at us like we’re crazy.
But it isn’t always about looking at what’s on the surface. It’s about what’s beneath it that counts, and what lies ahead for Carolina may be pretty interesting.
Over the course of the next five weeks, the Panthers will face a Seattle Seahawks squad that has lost their last three games to teams with losing records, a San Diego Charger team that has had bad luck all-around this season, a Washington Redskin team that is also prone to looking over teams with losing records, an Atlanta Falcon team that can implode at any minute (more on that later), and a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team that the Panthers will be hungry for revenge against.
The only thing that may hang up Carolina is the fact that three of their last five games are on the road, and the road haven’t been a pleasent journey for Carolina this season, with the team sporting just a 1-4 record outside of Bank of America Stadium.
But despite that, Carolina has a chance in every single game, and when you look at the Panthers’ schedule in that light, their postseason outlook looks a tad bit brighter then what it seems.
