To Lose: $14.88 still have two chances remaining to start and complete a third, incredible one-game winning run during this terrible season. They have some interesting similarities, but they won’t be favored in either situation.
Both opponents, the

The
have two opportunities left to begin, and finish, a third, magical one-game winning streak in this awful season. They won’t be favored in either opportunity, but they do have some intriguing similarities.
Both opponents, the
this week and the
next, are currently 8-7 and are holding onto first place in a tight race for their respective divisions. The Jaguars present the most enticing opportunity for Carolina fans as they are both at risk for overlooking the Panthers as they focus on next week’s season finale against their AFC South rival, the
, and at risk of underwhelming against the Panthers with the efforts of backup-turned-starting quarterback C.J. Beathard.
Therein lies the Panthers path to victory.
The offense has yet to provide any evidence that it can win a game all by its lonesome. They need significant help from the defense. Beathard is a quarterback that can help the Panthers defense help themselves.
He took his early lumps in the NFL with the
during their pre-Brock Purdy Era experiments. With them, he started 6 games over three years and overall threw for 18 touchdowns to 13 interceptions. That’s not the worst ratio, but it’s bad enough to be taken advantage of by the right team.
The Panthers are anything but the right team. They have a league-low 12 turnovers on the season, but they have also played most of the season without many of their star players.
Right now they are about as healthy as they have been since opening day, and they might just have the moxie to steal a possession (or two!) off of a middling quarterback trying to make a name for himself during a tight playoff race.
Add in a dash of the Bryce Young we saw last week and you might just see a third Panthers win this season after all.
Now, to be clear, this is a very unlikely combonatiom of events. The Panthers are likely not going to win this game unless the Jaguars try hard to lose it first. But anything can happen
