The Carolina Panthers play divisional game number two this Sunday.

A showdown among the top two teams in the conference, a tall task for Atlanta out of their bye and a divisional matchup between the Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers highlight Week 8 across the NFC South.

It’s hard to believe the NFL season will be halfway complete for every divisional team after Sunday. All four have enjoyed a bye week and from now until the end of the year each will be playing every week.

In a division with a ton of contests heaped into the final four to five weeks, things are going to be really tight down the stretch. Even this week, Carolina and New Orleans could be tied at the top with Atlanta only two games back, depending on outcomes across the board. It’s shaping up to be an exciting finish and there’s plenty to keep us entertained in the interim.
