[uncfan888]

6 undefeateds, talking heads unanimously leave Panthers out of top 5 or have even lower than 6.

There is nothing anyone can say to convince me that the falcons are better than us. They had to come from behind to win every game against the NFC east

If you consider that Vegas typically values home games at 3pts when determining the spread... they really only consider Seattle a 3.5 pt favorite.  If you factor in Luke possibly returning and Lynch's hamstring...I would imagine betters will jump all over Carolina early in the week and push the line down.

I can see a 3 pt favorite, but 6.5, really, are we the bears?

Seahawks were 16 point favorite against the bears

We CANNOT turn the ball over.  Seattle will make us pay.  If we hang on to the football i think we have a solid chance.

They started their season similar to this last year and ended up in the bowl.  Will be a tough game no doubt.

This is what happens when you are 0-7 on the road against them.

I love it.  Please continue to overlook us and disrespect us.  We've always played our best football under those circumstances.  Historically we've been terrible front runners.

It has nothing to do with disrespect.  That is not how Vegas sets the lines.

[Smithers]

If Luke is cleared, the spread will drop significantly.

we need a "perfect game" based on how our styles match up to win IMO.

perfect game means no dropped wide open passes, no turnovers, or missed kicks.  A perfect game means a low scoring ugly one too

6.5 seems like a lot.  I'd take Carolina to cover too. 

The Seahawks, when they were much sharper on both sides of the ball, still barely squeaked out regular season wins.  Vegas tends to set lines to try and get even action though.. so they are probably banking on bettors that think the Panthers are a faux 4-0 to lay the points on Seattle being the home team.

I bet the sharps are all over Carolina though.

Yea pretty much.  Would also like for us to not take the foot off the gas at any point if cam is rolling.  We all know some dumb throw it off the goal post into baldwins fasemask poo is going to happen.

Eh.. doubtful.  Vegas doesn't pick the winners persay, their hope every time they make a line is to get 50/50 action so they profit off the juice.

If they lose they will be 2-4 with back to back losses to the eventual Super Bowl participants.

Last year we were 3-8-1 and won a playoff game.

It ain't over for them after the beatdown this week.

 

An all-cat Super Bowl? I like it.

Nah, only a few players can move the line of any game more than a couple points....none are on the defensive side of the ball.

 

6.5 is a lot, but the Panthers don't normally play well off the bye, we are on the road, we are sitting with 0 losses, and their season is on the brink.

It won't be an easy out.

Welp. Luke is back and the spread went up to 7.
