Panthers vs. Seahawks picks against the spreadJordan Mendoza: Carolina Panthers (+7.5)
After the emotional win over Los Angeles, a let down is very much in store for Seattle. Mix that with a Carolina team that has an inside track to a playoff home game and the Panthers make this a close battle.
Tyler Dragon: Seattle Seahawks (-7.5)
Two surprising division leaders. However, the Seahawks have the more complete team.
Blake Schuster: Carolina Panthers (+7.5)
Seattle locked up the playoffs, and while the one-seed is still possible, I just can’t see the Seahawks finding enough motivation for a noon kickoff on the east coast against a team that’s on the bubble. Carolina has been a darling as a home dog all year.
Jon Hoefling: Seattle Seahawks (-7.5)
Seattle is fighting for that No. 1 seed and has extra rest after that TNF showdown against the Rams. They’ll dominate this contest.
Lorenzo Reyes: Carolina Panthers (+7.5)
I expect Seattle to win this game, and to win it pretty resoundingly. But this is a big line for a Panthers squad that is scrappy and has a decent defense.
Christopher Bumbaca: Carolina Panthers (+7.5)
The Panthers showed they can handle the might of the NFC West at home with that impressive victory over the then-rolling Rams last month. I still like the Seahawks to win outright.
