Pro Football: Carolina Panthers vs Arizona Cardinals Comments

I am proud to say that I watched most of the 1960 movie, “The Time Machine,” rather than almost any of the dull Carolina Panthers (27-16) win over the Arizona Cardinals.

The Panthers who entered the game with a (7-8-1) record were six point favorites vs a Cardinals team that was (11-5) before the contest. Carolina was able to play the game at home despite their woeful (for a division winner) record.

In 2010, a Seattle Seahawks team that finished (7-9), was afforded the home field for its wild card round game against the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints. Despite being big underdogs, the Seahawks won the game.

If the favored Dallas Cowboys win today in their wild card round home game vs the Detroit Lions, it will be Carolina visiting the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks next week in the divisional round.

What goes around in mediocrity may just come back around, still in mediocrity.
