Its no secret that your Carolina Panthers and my Seahawks have played close games in the last 3 years.
And I understand those close battles give you a glimmer of hope to advance but the Panthers have lost every single won of them.
16-12 in 2012
12-7 in 2013
13-9 in 2014
However, all of these games were in your house @ Bank of America.
All of these games were 3, 000 miles cross country trips with 10 am Pacific Time handicaps (where the Seahawks and many West Coast teams are known for starting slow).
In those 3 games:
Seahawks scored: 13.66 ppg
Panthers scored: 9.33 ppg (never more than 12)
What makes matters worse is the Seahawks Defense is on a historical tear in their last 6 games but for the sake of argument we'll back up the time frame.
Seahawks Defense/Points Allowed
Last 10 games: 11.3 ppg
Last 8 games: 10.0 ppg
Last 6 games: 6.5 ppg
Under 12 ppg the last 10, under 7 ppg the last 6, Panthers never scored more than 12.
However, Seahawks in their last 3 home games have only allowed 16 points.
Or 5.33 ppg.
So, now you're asking a Panthers offense that has only scored 9.33 ppg against the Seahawks D to
- travel to Seattle (3,000 miles away) play at the CLINK
- in a prime-time game 8:15 pm East Coast start
- against a defense that's on fire right now
Some of you Panthers can down play the 12th man, but that's only part of the obstacle.
Seahawks fans might not be the loudest fans in the world but they are some of the loudest and they bring the noise strategically all game and that's what sets them apart.
Since Wilson became QB in 2012, the Seahawks have went 24-2 at HOME.
Winning 92.3% of the Time.
Seahawks are also the most competitive team in the NFL since they've found their Running Game + Defense identity in the 2nd Half of 2011 going 45-16. Never losing by more than 9, with 15 of those losses 7 points or less.
Not bad for a team that never has been ranked lower than the 7th youngest team in collective age since 2011.
Since the Panthers drafted Newton they have went a decent 15-16-1 on the ROAD.
Winning 46.875% of the time.
3-5 in 2011.
4-4 in 2012.
5-3 in 2013.
3-5-1 in 2014.
I noticed you guys were very competitive in 2012, losing very close games.
In 2013, you won a few close games, and you lost a close game.
However, the data I found for 2014 shocked me.
First of all, your 3 road wins were against the very familar NFC South which your Panthers won 7-8-1.
And then your team went 0-4-1 in your Non-Division Road Games.
Your Defense Allowed Points Of:
30+: 5 times
37+: 4 times
The farthest your team traveled this year was to Minnesota.
I understand your team is playing better this last month and any given Sunday or Saturday for this matter but with the way your team has performed on the road this year and how much the Seahawks are a juggernaut @ home and just bad ass in Prime-Time.
Its going to take a Panther's miracle plus the Seahawks collectively playing their worst game of the year for the Seahawks to lose.
And it comes back to those 3 games played @ BoA
Seahawks: 13.66 pgg
Panthers: 9.33 pgg
This Saturday just with all this information, I would give the Seahawks a +7 and the Panthers -3 handicaps of those head to head point totals.
Making the predictive score based on my analysis :
Seahawks win 20-6 or 21-7
