The Panthers have been one of the NFL’s biggest turnaround stories, going from a two-win team in Bryce Young’s rookie season to NFC South champions in 2025. However, Carolina won the division despite one of the league’s lowest-scoring offenses, leaving questions about whether it can build on that success. The Panthers focused on upgrading their defense this offseason, adding edge rusher Jaelan Phillips and linebacker Devin Lloyd. Those additions should strengthen a unit that may once again be relied upon to lead the way in 2026.
Fanatics Sportsbook lists the Panthers among the preseason outsiders to win Super Bowl LXI at +8500, with an NFC South line behind Tampa Bay, and New Orleans, and ahead of Atlanta.
