Carolina Panthers will visit Seattle Seahawks in a Week 14 matchup between NFC conference opponents.
The Panthers are among the NFL's worst teams, as they are currently 4-8 and in third place in the NFC South. Carolina fired their head coach and traded away several veterans. They are, however, entering this contest coming off of a win in their last outing and two wins in their last three outings.
The Seahawks have exceeded expectations after trading Russell Wilson. While many predicted that Seattle would be among the worst teams in the NFL, they are currently 7-5 and second in the NFC West. If the season had to end today, Seattle would be in the postseason as the seventh and final seed.

Panthers vs. Seahawks Key Stats
Carolina Panthers have struggled offensively, as they have been rotating quarterbacks all season. Carolina rank just 25th in scoring as they average 19.2 points per game. However, their defense has been above average as they have allowed just 22.2 points per game, ranking 14th in the NFL.
The Seattle Seahawks have surprisingly been a top-five offense this season. After trading away long-time quarterback Russell Wilson, Seattle's offense was expected to take a step back. Instead, Geno Smith has outplayed Wilson and the Seahawks have averaged 26.5 points per game, which ranks fifth in the NFL.
Seattle's defense has not had the same success after allowing All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner to depart. The Seahawks rank just 28th in scoring defense, allowing 25.3 points per game.
Panthers vs. Seahawks Betting Prediction
The Carolina Panthers have struggled all season long and, while they are still mathematically in the scheme of things, they should be focused on the NFL Draft to zero in on their quarterback for the future. While Seattle Seahawks could also end up with a top-ten pick, courtesy of the Russell Wilson trade, their focus lies on making a postseason push. Look for the Seahawks to take advantage of a sub-par opponent, winning by at least five points. Additionally, look for the two teams to combine to score at least 45 points.
Pick: Seattle Seahawks -4.5 (-104) and Over 44.5 Points (-110)
