Predicting What the Panthers' 2023 Schedule Will Look Like

Taking our best guess at Carolina's slate for the 2023 season.

Tomorrow, the NFL will release the 2023 schedule for all 32 teams at 8 p.m. EST. This morning, the NFL announced the international matchups, which can be seen here. 

"The NFL uses the power of Amazon Web Services (AWS) to power its schedule-making process. There are approximately a quadrillion possible schedule combinations each NFL season and over 26,000 factors to take into consideration such as stadium availability, travel requirements, primetime games, competitive fairness, and division rivalries," the NFL said in a release.

"The NFL uses AWS to run high-performance computing workloads to find the best possible schedule each year." 

Although accurately predicting the schedule is like throwing darts blindfolded, we're going to do it anyway. Here is my prediction for what the Carolina Panthers' schedule will look like for the 2023 season.

Week 1: vs. Houston Texans

Week 2: vs. New Orleans Saints

Week 3: @ Tennessee Titans

Week 4: vs. Dallas Cowboys

Week 5: @ Chicago Bears

Week 6: @ Detroit Lions

Week 7: vs. Indianapolis Colts (TNF)

Week 8: @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Week 9: vs. Atlanta Falcons 

Week 10: @ Jacksonville Jaguars

Week 11: @ Miami Dolphins

Week 12: vs. Green Bay Packers

Week 13: BYE WEEK

Week 14: @ Atlanta Falcons

Week 15: vs. Minnesota Vikings

Week 16: @ Seattle Seahawks

Week 17: vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Week 18: @ New Orleans Saints

Bryce Young will bring more eyes to the Panthers but I don't expect the NFL to give Carolina more than one primetime game. Maybe they look at a potential Week 7 matchup with the Colts and think it could end up being a battle between Young and Anthony Richardson. Or the simple fact of it being Frank Reich's old team and think it could draw some interest.

As far as the bye week is concerned, the Panthers have had their bye come in Week 13 in each of the past three seasons, so why not a fourth straight year?
