So can the streak continue? And even if not, are there more wins ahead for head coach ?

of the season – a crushing 30-21 loss to the AFC giant Buffalo Bills. So the narrative for this duel shows how the Chiefs squad prepares to tee off against the fun Panthers.
But do the back-to-back champions really need to dig? The deep for this one? The here for Carolina, but don't be surprised if the final result is closer than some might predict.
forecast: Defeat, 30-17

If the Panthers want to steal one from the reigning champions, it could be here.
Carolina will host this game and may see a limited version of wide receiver , who could return from a hamstring injury in Week 12. Evans has recorded 29 in his last four games against the Panthers.
forecast: Win, 24-23
Week 14: at the Philadelphia Eagles (8-2)

The Eagles, behind the strong legs of quarterback Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley, enter Week 12 as the No. 1 rushing offense in football (181.3 yards per game). Well, the absolutely dead last in rushing defense, allowing a whopping 160.1 yards of offense on the ground.
That could be ugly.
forecast: Defeat, 38-14
Week 15: vs. Dallas Cowboys (3-7)

Doesn't it feel kind of good to no longer be the hottest mess in the league, Panthers fans?
The battered and battered Cowboys are all out of shape at the moment. They can't pass the ball efficiently, they can't seem to run the ball at all, and they can barely defend anything. And unfortunately for Dem Boyz, it feels like their whirlwind season is only going to get worse.
forecast: Win, 23-16
Week 16: vs. Arizona Cardinals (6-4)

Ironically, Jonathan Gannon may have built a Philadelphia Lite in the desert. Like the birds of the East, these run the ball extremely well behind their mobile quarterback and workhorse, have a handful of powerful weapons through the air, and defend well enough to be considered a legitimate threat.
The current leader is not a good opponent for the Panthers.
forecast: Defeat, 33-21
Week 17: at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-6)

Tampa gets revenge at home against Carolina. Expect their three-man backcourt of Rachaad White, and Sean Tucker to be a problem for the Panthers, especially with the division title still up for grabs at this point.
forecast: Defeat, 24-14
Week 18: at Atlanta Falcons (6-5)

Speaking of the title, the Falcons lead the race by just a game and a half. If things continue to be close, Atlanta may not make it to this regular .
Besides, none of that first inclination between these two teams was particularly encouraging for the Panthers.
forecast: Defeat, 17-10
Final record: 5-12
