Prediction
Carolina Panthers UNDER 8.5 (-145) Season Wins
The Carolina Panthers enjoyed the sadness of their division rivalries last season as the Panthers limped into the Playoffs with only a 7 win season. Newton had an awful season statistically and played with nagging injuries, yet their divisional foes still found a way NOT to win. I really don’t have high hopes for this division for the 2015 season. One thing I can say is that despite the horrendous season by Newton, they did still manage to get 7 wins. They haven’t made any major moves in the offseason, however, they should be a healthier team this season. I expect them to get 7 or 8 wins this season with a much better and healthier Cam Newton, but yet and still UNDER the total of 8.5.
