Panthers’ opponents for 2016 mostly determined

While the Panthers are firmly focused on this season, almost all of Carolina’s opponents for the 2016 have been determined.

The Panthers will travel to Atlanta, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Seattle, St. Louis, Oakland, Denver and Washington next season.

They will host Atlanta, New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Arizona, San Francisco, Kansas City, San Diego and the winner of next week’s matchup between Green Bay and Minnesota.

Because the Panthers are the NFC South champions, they will face the winner of the NFC North, which will be decided next week.

Of course, the Panthers may not be traveling to St. Louis or Oakland next season if one or both teams move to Los Angeles.
