(6) Tennessee Titans
The Titans may actually end up being the best pick of them all for Panthers fans. Here’s why:
Of all the various reasons we’ve given you to root for the other seven teams, pretty much all of them apply to Tennessee.
Let’s take a look. The Titans were the last team to make the cut in the AFC, so that gives you the underdog factor and more specifically, the same appeal the Vikings have in the NFC as the No. 6 seed. Plus, the franchise has only been to one Super Bowl in its history, and it was a loss back in 1999, so they have that going for them, too.
On top of all that, the Titans accomplished something Panthers fans – and really just fans around the league – can appreciate, and that’s taking down the Patriots. So just like the Vikings who took down the Panthers NFC South rival in New Orleans, the Titans got the job done in New England. That’s enough to put a team in every Panthers fan’s good graces.
And don’t forget that yes, the Panthers beat the Titans this year.
Oh, and if you’re looking for that Carolina connection to firmly solidify your commitment to the Titans, they’ve got that, too. Tennessee’s starting kicker is Greg Joseph, who spent four whole weeks on the Panthers practice squad toward the end of this season.
