3. Carolina Panthers
Speaking of teams on improbable playoff runs, the Carolina Panthers are somehow atop the NFC South. Widely regarded as the league’s most confusing team, this squad has the ability to beat the Los Angeles Rams and Green Bay Packers but struggles against “easier” opponents.
Nobody knows what this team will bring to the table on any given week, and perhaps the biggest question mark is quarterback Bryce Young. Carolina has a good secondary, but adding someone like Trevon Diggs to the mix should only improve the unit. If Young is having an off game, a strong defense could help the Panthers win low-scoring contests.
