Carolina Panthers can keep pounding to a perfect NFL season

Paul Chambers | December 12, 2015

A perfect regular season of 16 wins in the NFL is a rare feat, with the New England Patriots the last of four franchises to achieve it in 2007. Carolina Panthers have plenty of reasons to feel that they can become the fifth team in American football history to pull it off, though.

Nobody should deny Panthers on prowl

The Panthers are excelling on both sides of the ball. They have the third-best scoring offense in the NFl, and the ninth-best scoring defense. Such balanced dominance both in and out of possession is uncommon.

At 3/1 with Coral to complete the regular season unbeaten, Carolina’s case is bolstered by the lacklustre strength of their remaining fixtures. The perfect Panthers play Atlanta Falcons (twice), New York Giants and Tampa Bay Buccaneers; those teams have a combined winning record for the season so far of just 47 per cent.

There are no significant challenges left for Carolina face – these are all games they would expect to win. Punters can feel confident that they will do just that, and complete a perfect regular season in 2015.

Perfect Panthers to inflict playoff pain

What of the Panthers’ prospects of going unbeaten and then on to victory in Super Bowl 50? This is rated as an awesome 8/1 chance, and attractive proposition for more adventurous punters, as the price reflects the uncertainty of who Carolina could clash with en route to Santa Clara.
