The Carolina Panthers haven’t finished over .500 since Devin Funchess lost the ball in the lights at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Heck, the stadium doesn’t even go by that name anymore.
But if NFL Network’s Adam Rank pins his predictions for the 2023 campaign, the streak . . . is over.
Rank recently ran through the Panthers’ upcoming regular-season slate, dishing out wins and losses as he saw fit. And of the 17 games, nine forecasted Carolina as the victors. Those dubs are as follows:
-
Week 2 vs. New Orleans Saints
-
Week 3 at Seattle Seahawks
-
Week 4 vs. Minnesota Vikings
-
Week 8 vs. Houston Texans
-
Week 9 vs. Indianapolis Colts
-
Week 12 at Tennessee Titans
-
Week 15 vs. Atlanta Falcons
-
Week 16 vs. Green Bay Packers
-
Week 18 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
These projections have the Panthers winding up at 9-8, which would be their first winning record since 2017. That season saw Carolina go 11-5 and clinch a spot in the Wild Card round against the Saints—where they suffered a gut punch of a 31-26 loss.
Would a 9-8 mark, however, be good enough to clinch them a playoff spot this year? Hey, in this era of the NFC South, anything seems possible.

Panthers Forecasted by NFL Analyst to Achieve Winning Record in 2023
According to NFL Network’s Adam Rank, the Carolina Panthers could break their streak of finishing below .500 with a 9-8 record in the 2023 season. Rank predicted nine wins for the team, including victories against the New Orleans Saints, Seattle Seahawks, and Green Bay Packers. If the Panthers do achieve a 9-8 record, it would be their first winning record since 2017 when they went 11-5.
