It’s Week 13 of the regular season, and the 2-9 Washington Redskins will be facing off against the 5-6 Carolina Panthers this Sunday at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC.
The Panthers are a team that always seems to be in the playoff hunt early in the season, but their likelihood of making it to the playoffs depends on their team health and the status of their division rival Saints, Falcons, and Buccaneers, at least one of whom seems to get hot almost every year. The Panthers currently have a 1-3 record within the NFC South after losing a close game to the Saints last week, which combined with their overall 5-6 record probably eliminates them from playoff contention.
