According to various sources, including betting odds, fans, media and even the NFL schedule, the Carolina Panthers are predicted to have a rough season in the NFL. The 2024 NFL schedule highlights this expectation as the Panthers are the only team without any prime time games scheduled. However, they do have one standalone game scheduled at 9:30 a.m. ET against the Giants in Munich, Germany in Week 10. This game will be the only time the Panthers will have the undivided attention of NFL fans.
While there is a possibility for the Panthers to be flexed into a national television time slot with flexible scheduling, they would need to perform much better than predicted in order to secure a spot in prime time games. The NFL seems to be intentionally avoiding putting the Panthers in prime time slots for the season. The team will need to exceed expectations if they want to secure a spot in prime time games and prove their worth on the field.
