The 2017 regular season schedule has finally been released and now it is time for our predictions.

The Carolina Panthers entered last season with extremely high expectations after a 15-1 record and reaching Super Bowl 50. However, the year didn’t go as planned and the team stumbled to a 6-10 record.

There was a number of contributing factors to the drop in success but the front office has worked hard this offseason to make sure that the 2016 season is the exception and not the rule. They went out and got Matt Kalil to solidify the left tackle position. They also brought back veterans Julius Peppers and Captain Munnerlyn to help the defense.

The question now becomes were the moves enough to get the Carolina Panthers back to the playoffs and hopefully a trip back to the Super Bowl. Brandon Croce breaks down the schedule and predicts how the 2017 season could play out.
