2023 Carolina Panthers Outlook
The Carolina Panthers have a much better shot at a playoff berth with the addition of rookie quarterback Bryce Young. Last year with lesser QBs and talent on the roster, Carolina managed to challenge for a playoff berth before losing in Week 17 to the Buccaneers.
Because the Panthers upgraded at quarterback, and upgraded or stayed the same at all other units, it can be argued that they should have an even better chance of making the playoffs with a weak NFC South division this year.
Now that future Hall of Fame QB Tom Brady has retired, it is certainly within the realm of possibility that Carolina wins the division and makes the playoffs in Young's rookie season.
Panthers Playoff Chances
The Carolina Panthers playoff chances are currently 7.1%, according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
With a weakened division slate and a mediocre opposing quarterback schedule in the 2023 NFL season, the Carolina Panthers have a good chance of winning the division or making the playoffs as a wild card team.
Panthers Super Bowl Odds
Currently, the Carolina Panthers odds to win the NFC Championship is 0.8%, and the Panthers Super Bowl odds are +20000, which is an implied probability of just 0.5%.
Although the Carolina Panthers have a decent chance to make the playoffs with less-rigorous-than-normal schedule, the probability of making and winning the Super Bowl is more of a long shot.
