The game is at Carolina.

They lost a nail biter 18-21 to the Bucs at Tampa three weeks ago and lost 30-33 to the Packers last week.

I agree that Carolina could win. I would give them a 1 in 3 chance. The Bucs have more to play for, but for Carolina it could be a revenge game with the pick not a factor. I would rate our matchup with the Falcons at 50-50. So overall we have a 1 in 6 chance to win the division, get obliterated in the playoffs, get a worse draft pick, and have a super hard schedule next year. Maybe its actually best if all that happens to get DA fired in 2024. If he loses by 20 points in the playoffs and then goes 5-12 on the season in 2024 maybe that could do it. The trouble is even making the playoffs this year could convince Loomis we are one player away and cause him to trade away our 2025 1st round pick and break the bank in free agency to get those one or two players that after 16 weeks to adjust to our scheme will make up our 20 point first round playoff loss deficit.
