The Carolina Panthers held on Monday night for a 29-26 overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts to improve to 7-0 this season.

Does this mean Cam Newton and company have smooth sailing toward a perfect regular season?

Hardly. The Panthers face probably their biggest test of the season Sunday when the Green Bay Packers come to town.

Aaron Rodgers and his teammates were just knocked from the ranks of the unbeaten over the weekend with their 29-10 loss to the Denver Broncos on "Sunday Night Football."

And even if they can get past Green Bay, the Panthers are in for a tough December with games against the New York Giants and the surging New Orleans Saints, plus two against the Atlanta Falcons.

Carolina leads Atlanta by a game and a half in the NFC South.

What do you think? Do they have what it takes to go 16-0? Or are there too many potential stumbling blocks along the way?
