It has been a tough season for the Carolina Panthers, but teams in the worst division of the NFL must declare a winner. On Sunday, Dec. 28, the NFC South will declare a winner between the Carolina Panthers and the Atlanta Falcons. The Panthers have had a weird season as Cam Newton missed the first game due to injures and was involved in a car wreck a couple weeks ago that resulted in Newton being hospitalized for observation and missing another game. Fans will probably be using Newton's words — "I'm on somebody's fantasy league, and I think it's the man upstairs" — during Sunday's game as they have faith in their team to pull in a victory.

Mariota won in a landslide after tossing 38 touchdowns against two interceptions and leading the Ducks to the No. 2 overall seed. But could Winston be an option also? The in-state product led Florida State to an undefeated run to the National Title last season, and the Seminoles are 13-0 again this year. Read More »
