Carolina at Seattle

Carolina has scored 52 points the last three weeks. That's saying a lot considering it took them the previous seven weeks to score 70. The offense is getting healthier and as a result is improving. They took Cleveland to the wire last week before losing by a single point so they can certainly stay in this one vs. a Seattle team that has really struggled of late. The Seahawks are a mess and have no reason to be favored in this one by nearly a touchdown. This is a team that has lost in consecutive weeks by 18 and 15 points, as well as losing four of their last five by a combined 97 points. They also have a pair of 17 point losses prior to that which makes this hardly a team you'd feel comfortable with laying nearly a TD. The Panthers have always finished strong under John Fox, going 23-11 ATS in December games. They are also 32-20 ATS under Fox as a road dog. The Seahawks are now 3-10 ATS after allowing 350+ yards in their last game. They are also 15-29 ATS in their last 44 home games when favored by 3.5 to 7 points. They are also 1-10 ATS the past two seasons following a home game. I like Carolina to find a way to stay close here.
