NFL Sunday Prediction: Carolina at Seattle

– The Seahawks will travel cross country for the second time in three weeks this Sunday.

The Seahawks are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games in December and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games on fieldturf.

Carolina is in last place in the NFC South with a 4-7 record. We like the Seahawks to cover the spread in this game.

“There’s probably seven or eight guys who will have to go all the way through til Saturday and get to gametime to figure it out”, he said. “We’ll just have to see what happens”.

But they have a chance to at least salvage some pride in Sunday night’s game at Seattle.

My answer: I think this is more of a pipe dream. So you want to have a good game and win so you can count that as one of your best games. “He said we could challenge it”. “But me and Jake don’t get along right now. It’s an enormous impact, win or lose”.

Seattle holds a 3-game lead over Arizona in the NFC West. The question is whether or not this team is good enough to navigate the postseason and win another Super Bowl. Last week was last week. Quarterback Russell Wilson’s running ability is something that Carroll said has been encouraging as Seattle heads into the Carolina game. Only two of Carolina’s losses have been by more than a field goal, and the Panthers might come up just short against a top team once again. “Doesn’t look like they are going to the playoffs this year”. Considering he was going up against one of the game’s most lethal pass rushers in Oakland Raiders outside linebacer Khalil Mack, he did well.

The playmaking of Newton, along with creative use of slippery WR Ted Ginn, are wild cards for Carolina, which is 3-0-1 ATS on the National Football League betting lines in its last four games against Seattle.

Last season, Carolina seemed to be living proof that sometimes it’s just your year.

The game of musical chairs for Carolina’s offensive line continues. Bennett returned to practice on Wednesday – as did defensive backs Earl Thomas and DeShawn Shead from hamstring strains.

Besides Newton, the two players who seem to play the biggest roles in making the Panthers go on offense are tight end Greg Olsen and receiver Kelvin Benjamin. C Ryan Khalil placed on injured reserve this week along with backup Gino Gradkowski. If Williams can’t play, the Panthers will likely have right guard Trai Turner play right tackle, where he hasn’t started since high school.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have won three straight games and the area one could point that has led the charge has been the play of the team’s safeties.

Bennett entered this season with two years left on the four-year, $27.5 million contract he signed in March, 2014.
