Carolina Panthers 2020 schedule predictions: Picking every game
Weeks 14-17
12. 87. Final. 20. 45
Back in 2015, the Panthers and Denver Broncos engaged in Super Bowl 50 at Levi’s Dtadium. Denver came away with a 24-10 win but it’s safe to say a lot of things of change for both franchises. The Panthers host this series for the first time since 2012 but they’re facing a team that began to find itself down the stretch in 2019.
87. 31. 49. Final. 9
For the second consecutive year, the Panthers head north to Lambeau Field and square off with Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. In Week 10 a year ago, Green Bay held off the visitors, 24-16. Carolina went heavy on defense during the draft and those young players may not be prepared for the reigning NFC North champions.
58. Final. 7. 87. 10
It will be quite the reunion in Landover, Maryland as the Carolina Panthers head north to take on former head coach Ron Rivera and the Redskins. It will be the fifth meeting between these clubs in six seasons dating back to 2015. This past season, Rivera was bounced after a loss to the ‘Skins. But Washington comes up with a narrow win.
15. 20. 87. Final. 27
When last the Panthers hosted the reigning NFC South champion New Orleans Saints, it was seemingly over before it began. In both teams’ regular-season finale, the Saints scored early and often in a 42-10. Now former Saints’ backup Teddy Bridgewater is leading the Panthers. But Sean Payton’s team has far too much.
Final result: 2-14
Matt Rhule is the first offensive-minded head coach in the franchise’s history. Of course, the Panthers stressed the defensive side of the ball during the NFL draft and with good reason. It will be interesting to see if he can get things turned around sooner than later. Since reaching Super Bowl 50 in 2015, this is a club that has finished with a losing record three of the past four seasons and there’s plenty of work ahead for this franchise.
