To be the #1 seed, Panthers need:

CAR win over ATL next week
SF win over ARI next week
STL win over SEA next week

Coming in to say congrats on clinching a playoff spot and hoping you guys win the division next week!! Knock the Saints out of the division title!!

To be the #1 seed, Panthers need:

SF win over ATL on Monday night
CAR win over ATL next week
SF win over ARI next week
STL win over SEA next week

All of those look very possible with the exception of the STL/SEA game, which "anything can happen."

This has been a crazy season. Who'd believe (except for Panther fans) after starting 1-3 that we'd be heading into week 17 with a chance to win the NFC? Not to mention NO can fall out of the playoffs. First time in the playoffs since 2008. It's been a great season so far. Now there is a chance to make it the best Panthers season ever. Take care of business against Atlanta and let the chips fall where they may. This team has proven they can win at home and on the road, so I'm not worried about where we have to play.

Just curious, why does the SF-ARI game matter?

Because then SF would take the NFCW.

For ARI - if they win and SF or NO lose they make the playoffs.
For Carolina - ARI making the playoffs pushes could push NO out of the playoffs.

This shows all the different playoff scenarios.
