YAY YAYEEEEE GO HAWKS

Seahawks fan here and I have a feeling this game will be tough for both teams. both teams are unstoppable when playing at their best. Its gonna be fun,this weeks game most likely was a wake up call for Seattle and expect us to come out blasting. Whenever Seattle gets a tough loss or has a tough week we usually come back and dominate the next week,so I hope Carolinas ready. GO SEAHAWKS.

It's a 50 50 chance any thing could happen. The cardinals are 2nd best in the nfl and they sucked the game we beat them. So we could suddenly suck no one can know and stats don't matter.

Skin them and make a floor rug for everyone to see!

Seattle Seahawks are going to beat the panthers

The Seahawks should be healthy and energized for the Divisional round, but the Panthers will be game-hardened. I think that these two teams are more closely matched than the iron rank graph indicates. The Seahawks can't afford to start too slowly against this defense. I expect the Seahawks offense to have a plan to score early and quickly to keep them playing from behind. The Seahawk defense can shut down the Panthers offense for most of the game, but need the Seahawk offense to keep the ball on the field long enough to keep them fresh, by continuing to pound them with the running game. The Seahawks offense, if they sustain no injuries, should be in good shape to keep the ball, maintain drives, and score. The Seahawks have improved a lot since Week 8, both mentally and physically. The Seahawks gain about a 4 point advantage over a neutral site when playing at home. Seattle 27-10. I expect every point to be hard-fought, discounting any touchdowns by the Seahawk special teams or defense, which could potentially create a blowout.
