The Panthers are a half game ahead of the Saints, who already had their bye week. It looks weird to read this game is for first place in the division because New Orleans is 3-4 and Carolina is 3-4-1. I usually think of two teams with the same even or winning record when people say that. The NFC South has no teams with a winning record going into this game. Pathetic.

 

I guess because Green Bay blew out Carolina and got killed big time in New Orleans, I should root for the Panthers. But I don't care about any team in the NFL's worst division.

 

For anyone who cares, the Panthers are 1-0 in the division, 3-2 in the conference, 2-2 at home, and on a two-game losing streak. The Saints are 1-1 in the division, 3-3 in the conference, and 0-4 on the road. They won their last game.
