NFL analyst predicts Panthers will win the NFC South in 2025

The Carolina Panthers have themselves a believer in NFL Network analyst Adam Rank.

As he’s done in years past, Rank predicted the outcome of every single game for the upcoming campaign. And in what may be a shocker to many, he has the Panthers going 9-8 and knocking off the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the NFC South crown.

Here’s how Rank sorted each of Carolina’s contests . . .

Week 1 (at Jacksonville Jaguars): Loss

Week 2 (at Arizona Cardinals): Win

Week 3 (vs. Atlanta Falcons): Win

Week 4 (at New England Patriots): Loss

Week 5 (vs. Miami Dolphins): Win

Week 6 (vs. Dallas Cowboys): Win

Week 7 (at New York Jets): Loss

Week 8 (vs. Buffalo Bills): Loss

Week 9 (at Green Bay Packers): Loss

Week 10 (vs. New Orleans Saints): Win

Week 11 (at Atlanta Falcons): Loss

Week 12 (at San Francisco 49ers): Loss

Week 13 (vs. Los Angeles Rams): Win

Week 15 (at New Orleans Saints): Win

Week 16 (vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers): Win

Week 17 (vs. Seattle Seahawks): Win

Week 18 (at Tampa Bay Buccaneers): Loss

If Rank’s forecast comes true, then the Panthers would clinch their first winning season since 2017 and their first division title since 2015. They’d also break a seven-year playoff drought, which currently stands as the longest such streak in franchise history.

Each of those seven seasons has come under owner David Tepper, who purchased the team back in 2018. Carolina has gone a combined 36-80 over that span.
