Panthers 10-1 odds to win Super Bowl

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers were back on the practice field Friday, but the team won't know who it will play until after this weekend's wild-card round games.

Quarterback Cam Newton said the players are not concerned about who they will face just yet.

Newton said the team is focusing on improving its own weaknesses before worrying about which team they will face.

The Panthers are also using the bye week to get players, like wide receiver Steve Smith and defensive tackle Colin Cole, healthy.
