Seahawks vs. Panthers Odds
Game Preview
Seattle is one win ahead of the Rams and the 49ers in the NFC West, and they have to win in Charlotte. Last weekend, we saw them beat the Rams in OT, 38-37, in a wild ending, with the home unit erasing a 16-point deficit.
Sam Darnold was inconsistent, having 270 passing yards, with two touchdowns and picks each, but the rushers had a good day, with 171 yards on the ground, and two touchdowns, one by Kennet Walker III and one by Zach Charbonnet.
Earned their spot.

Panthers topped the Buccaneers, 23-20, getting the edge in the division and taking over the top spot in the NFC South. Bryce Young looked well, we have to say that, throwing for 2 TDs, 191 yards, and no interceptions.
The difference in this one was one turnover, and luckily for the Panthers, their player won the possession – Lathan Ransom. Meanwhile, Carolin and Young kept their football safe at all times.
Seahawks vs. Panthers Head to Head
Seattle Seahawks lead the series against the Panthers 11-5.
