Through two weeks, the Carolina Panthers have looked like the worst team in the NFL by a wide margin.
FanDuel has Carolina as just 20/1 to be perhaps the worst team of all time and not win a single game this season.
The Panthers recently benched their starting quarterback, Bryce Young, who looked like the worst player at the position this season.
Andy Dalton will start over Young going forward as the Panthers attempt to rebuild the former Alabama product.
The Panthers have scored only one touchdown through two weeks and have been outscored 73-13 this season.
However, parody in the NFL should reign supreme and help the Panthers avoid further disaster.
A glass-half-full approach would say that first-year head coach Dave Canales might’ve won over some hearts in the locker room by moving on from Young.
The quick hook on Young and starting a professional like Dalton should help rally the troops for their Week 3 road matchup against the Raiders.
Carolina’s schedule is also not conducive to a zero-victory season.
Panthers remaining schedule
| Week | team |
|---|---|
| Week 3 | @ Raiders |
| Week 4 | Bengals |
| Week 5 | @ Bears |
| Week 6 | Falcons |
| Week 7 | @ Commanders |
| Week 8 | @ Broncos |
| Week 9 | Saints |
| Week 10 | Giants (in Munich) |
| Week 11 | BYE |
| Week 12 | Chiefs |
| Week 13 | Buccaneers |
| Week 14 | @ Eagles |
| Week 15 | Cowboys |
| Week 16 | Cardinals |
| Week 17 | @ Buccaneers |
| Week 18 | @ Falcons |
The Panthers are just 5.5-point underdogs to the Raiders this weekend, with Dalton starting opposite Gardner Minshew.
Carolina also faces the NFC East, meaning they will get the opportunity to play at the Washington Commanders (Oct. 20) and battle the Giants in Munich (Nov. 10).
Between the Commanders and Giants game is a road matchup against the winless Broncos, who are struggling with first-year quarterback Bo Nix.

If somehow the Panthers are still winless past Nov. 10, you’re looking at a disastrous season where they could very well go winless.
Carolina finishes their schedule facing the Chiefs, Buccaneers, Eagles, Cowboys, Cardinals, Buccaneers and Falcons.
One could figure that the odds of them going winless with those opponents remaining to hang around +300 or less.
Still, there have been no double-digit underdogs through three weeks for the first time in NFL history.
Adding to that trend is that favorites of six points or more are 0-8 against the spread and 4-4 straight-up.
