Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Go Panthers!

Now we're coming down the stretch, and it's time to start looking at the potential playoff seeds.

It is technically possible that we can get the first seed, if we win out, Tampa Bay loses the South, Carolina wins two more games, and the Giants lose out.

Yeah, right.

For us to get the second seed requires two things to occur:

Carolina needs to win the NFC South:

Carolina needs two more losses.

In order for this to happen:

Carolina needs to win in week 14 with Tampa Bay at home.

Carolina needs to lose in week 15 with Denver at home.

Carolina needs to lose at the Giants in week 16.

Carolina needs to win in New Orleans in the week 17.

Tampa Bay needs to lose at Atlanta in week 15.

Atlanta needs to lose at New Orleans in week 14.

And the Vikes need to win out.

...

So, how about that third seed?

Keep the NFC North, win more games then the Cardinals. Beat them in Week 15 to earn the tiebreaker.

Just to remind folks, our finishing schedule is @Lions, @Cardinals, Falcons, Giants

Comparatively, the Cardinals have Rams, Vikes, @NE, and Seahawks.

...

Well, at the very least, if the Vikes clinch the division, we've got one home game. Go Vikes!

ARI will lose to US, and NE!

Watching the ARI and PHI game showed that they’re not peaking like us towards the end of the season. They got handled! We can beat them.
