Seahawks vs. Panthers Picks

Point Spread Pick for Seahawks vs. Panthers

  • Seattle Seahawks -7 (4 Units)

The Seahawks have won five straight games, while the Panthers have split their last six games. Seattle has the edge here because they have one of the best offenses in the league, with a great passing game and a good ground game. The Panthers are good at defending the run, but their pass defense hasnโ€™t been very good in recent weeks, due to injuries in the secondary, so expect their struggles to continue and Darnold to pick apart their secondary.

Carolina will have a hard time keeping up offensively because they are one dimensional, with a good ground game and one of the worst passing games in the league., The Seahawks donโ€™t have to worry about the Panthers beating them through the air, which will allow them to stack the box and slow down the run. Go with Searrle to cover the spread.

Over/Under Pick for Seahawks vs. Panthers

  • Under 42.5 (4 Units)

The Seahawks average 29.5 points per game. They throw the ball 51 percent of the time with the sixth-ranked passing attack in the league, and theyโ€™re facing a team that is 16th against the pass and is giving up 22.5 points per game. The Panthers average 19.1 points per game. They throw the ball 54 percent of the time with the 26th-ranked passing attack in the league, and theyโ€™re facing a team that is 14th against the pass and is giving up 18.6 points per game. Donโ€™t expect these teams to score enough points to push the score over the total.
