The Carolina Panthers have been one of the best teams in the NFC this season after missing the playoffs last year and they can really solidify their playoff position on Sunday with a win in Week 15 against the New York Jets and that comes after a loss on Sunday night football last week to the Saints and that is who they are up against at home after this matchup and the game starts at 4:05 pm on CBS.

The Panthers have been one of the most impressive teams in the NFL this season and they went into the matchup against the Saints not having lost in quite some time and now they will look to get back on track against the Jets. Cam Newton is having a great season after dipping a bit last year and the defense has been amazing, ranking in the top five in total defense as well as passing and rushing yards allowed per game. The team is ranked in the top 10 in rushing yards per game with Newton and the running backs, while the passing offense is ranked 29th, but it has done what it needs to do each week with Brandon LaFell and Steve Smith and those players have been very solid for Newton. The team finishes the season with the saints and the Falcons and the final game will be on the road after the next two games are at home.
