The Carolina Panthers, who were 6-10 under first-year coach Ron Rivera this past season, have released their opponents for the 2012 season.
Dates and times will be released by the

National Football League in the spring. But the Panthers have an attractive home schedule for the upcoming season. The Dallas Cowboys, Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos, and the New York Giants are among the teams that will invade Bank of America Stadium next season. The Oakland Raiders and the Seattle Seahawks are included in that mix.
The Panthers, who will play NFC South opponents Atlanta, New Orleans and Tampa Bay home and away, will travel to Philadelphia, Washington, Kansas City, Chicago and San Diego.
