Oddsmakers currently have the Seahawks listed as 3-point favorites versus the Panthers, while the game’s total is sitting at 44½.
Newton has passed for 1,472 yards and eight touchdowns against three interceptions and also leads Carolina with 190 rushing yards. Running back DeAngelo Williams (ankle) could miss his fourth straight contest, which would place Jonathan Stewart in the feature role after he was impressive in his return from a knee injury by gaining 50 yards on 13 carries versus Green Bay. Defensively, the Panthers have allowed 37 or more points in four of the past five games and the players were sent a message earlier this week when veteran cornerback Charles Godfrey – who had been with the organization since 2008 – was released.
Carolina lost its last outing, a 38-17 result against the Packers on October 19. The Panthers failed to cover in that game as a +6.5-point underdog, while the 55 combined points took the game OVER the total.

Quarterback Russell Wilson (10 touchdowns, two interceptions) isn’t having productivity issues and had 313 yards passing and 106 yards rushing against the Rams to become the first quarterback in NFL history to top 300 passing and 100 rushing in the same game. Receiver Doug Baldwin caught seven passes for 123 yards against St. Louis and coach Pete Carroll cited that Baldwin and Wilson have developed supreme chemistry in one another. Seattle is dealing with injury issues on the defensive side as middle linebacker Bobby Wagner (toe) will miss his second straight game, although cornerback Byron Maxwell (calf) and defensive tackle Jordan Hill (ankle) could return after respective one-game absences.
