The Carolina Panthers have seen their betting line shift to 7.5 wins after a promising offseason that included key acquisitions. While many analysts predict the team will struggle, CBS Sports' Jordan Dajani argues that the Panthers' improved defense positions them well to at least match last year's eight wins. The Panthers have added several impactful players, including Jaelan Phillips and Devin Lloyd, enhancing their defensive capabilities. Dajani emphasizes that the team does not need a superstar quarterback like Joe Burrow or Lamar Jackson to succeed, as they demonstrated last season with a solid but unspectacular performance from quarterback Bryce Young. Despite facing the third-hardest schedule in the NFL, the Panthers' defensive upgrades could lead them to a top-10 unit, making the over on their win total a realistic target. The upcoming season will test the Panthers' ability to capitalize on their offseason improvements amidst a competitive NFC South.
