 Last three games :

Seattle average scores 27 to 7 and 4-4-1 ATS on the road.

Panthers  "           "        40 to 9 and 6-2 ATS at home

Gotta go Panthers - 2 1/2

Seattle - 23                                         Carolina - 20

Seahawks +2.5                               under 44 

Russell returns to where it all began the Carolinas. He QB'd the Wolfpack for a few years before heading up to Wisconsin.  I look for him to get the better of Cam this time around and head back to Seattle with a "W".

Seattle - Under  

This is about as even a matchup as you're gonna find in these playoffs. These two teams are almost mirror images of each other. The difference is the playoff experience that Seattle has. Cam deserves the MVP and I can't imagine this Carolina team not giving their full effort. I have to take the points though with Seattle because of the composure of this Seahawks team. I can bet that Carolina was prayin for Walsh to make that kick last Sunday. Oh well, ya gotta face the best to be the best and I feel that the Panthers are still just a little too green, but not by much.If Carolina hangs on to the same staff and players, Watch out next year! 

I would take Home team under a filed goal @ anytime on this game

Seattle has been very hot of late, but this number being put up at 3 or less is puzzling. The Panthers have had an epic 15-1 season yet still get no respect from Vegas.

I'm not sure what Seattle backers loved so much in that game last week in Minnesota. Yes, it was cold, but the Seahawks were dominated on the line of scrimmage for most of the game.

A previous poster mentioned that the Panthers are "too green" and lack playoff experience. The fact is that the Panthers are in the playoffs for the 3rd consecutive season and gave Seattle fits last year in Seattle until Cam's pick 6 ended things.

If anything, I think the 15-1 season and 3rd consecutive NFC south championship is an indication of bigger things to come for this Panthers squad.

Panthers -3 or less is the play.

the safest thing I see here is a close game .. ultradefensivas plagued with a super renewed sehawks with the super boom defense and marshall lynch back .. I do not see problems to cover russell wilson..aqui this the true test of carolina . ..cam newton has no injured players and dangerous sound and sneak superbowl

Carolina has been making me $all year including the over so I'm sticking with Cam 

I can see this game being a real hard fought defensive game. Seattle beat Carolina in Seattle last year and Carolina scored with 32 seconds to go on a TD pass from Cam to Olsen to win 27-23 to win at home back in Oct. this year. Both teams #1 RB is looking like they will return to action this week, a big boost to both teams if they indeed do. Each team will attempt to establish a running game. Not an easy task with these 2 teams, but the clock will keep moving.

In my opinion, I see a lot of playing between the 20's resulting in FG's rather than TD's. This, to me, is the BEST game of the weekend. I'm taking SEATTLE and the UNDER as I think Seattle wins the turnover battle and their special teams put them in better field position to win the game. I'm really looking forward to watching this one! Good luck all.  ----     THE MYTH

myth just missed the under in the College Championship game by 40 + points... 

I agree with Seattle.... but this game gets to 50.   No way the defnse outshines the offense in this one either. 

I know Dog, I owned up to that errant pick already on another post, but thank you for reminding me, LOL ! Losers are part of the game my friend..... as I recall, you were all over the Steelers against Cincy, right? See, nobody is always right.

Poeple in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

THE MYTH

pants....over

This is a hard one, not sure yet.   I do like the under more than any side.

With the avatar change, I thought we had an imposter. 

Seahawk + 2.5

"The Panthers elite defense has suffered some major injury losses in recent weeks, with cornerbacks Charles Tillman and Bene Benwikere both suffering season ending injuries." And they still have a PR of 3? (not far from road pup Seattle's 2) Lynch's return is a factor to be reckoned with.  Hard to ignore Hawks' resume... Wait'll next year for newbies. Seattle by 6

I'll gladly take the Hawks +2.5

coach and QB won't blink, they've been here too many times before.

all the pressure is on the Panthers. 

thank you 

Please share with me your opinion about First half Team and O/U ? Full match? 

Thank you for sharing!

Love all this sea love

We all know that a prayer was answered last week for Seattle with that missed

FG,but can assure you,it will not come down to that today.

Carolina gets the win today,and sends the Seahawks back to Seattle.

Captain, you were right on Green Bay last night so I'm sticking with you.  That random stat that Myth posted about blowouts followed by a close playoff game was right as well.

Have to take Carolina at home giving less than three.  It's either that or no action.
