The Carolina Panthers will play the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday afternoon at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington.

Carolina is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games and 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games. The under is 8-3 in Carolina’s last 11 games. Seattle is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 Week 14 games and 7-15 ATS in their last 22 games following a win. The over is 7-3 in Seattle’s last 10 games. The over is 6-0 in these two teams last 6 head to head meetings.
Seattle comes into this game in second place in the NFC West standings, but has not played particularly well in their last three games. Carolina has won two of their last three games, but is 0-5 on the road this year. Sam Darnold is going to need to play a much better game here, especially if Foreman is out. Seattle’s defense is allowing over 25 points per game, which is a good sign for Darnold and the Panthers. I like the over here.
