AAA's EARLY 10* *Hawks/Panthers* TOTAL BLOCKBUSTER!
(NFL) Seattle vs. Carolina,
Total: 45.50 | -115.00 Over
Result: Win
This is a 10* TOTAL BLOCKBUSTER on the UNDER between the Seattle Seahawks and the Carolina Panthers.

When you think of these two teams, what's the first thing that comes to mind? For most it would be smash mouth defensive play, but that's not been the case this year, each comes in having played to numerous OVERS. Suffice it to say, I think that trend ends today and look for this total to sneak below the posted number once the final whistle sounds. Both teams come in hungry, the reigning champs are looking to avoid a three-game slide, something they haven't had to endure in three years. Seattle lost 30-23 at Dallas at home, followed by a trade of WR Percy Harvin and then concluded with a 28-26 setback at St. Louis on Sunday: "We've got work to do, we've got work to do to get consistent," coach Pete Carroll said. Seattle's defense ranked first last year but has given up at least 300 yards in four games and ranks just 19th overall this season. The Hawks have won three straight over Carolina, including last season's 12-7 effort; Panthers' QB Cam Newton completed only 53.8 percent of his passes for 266 yards and a TD. After throwing for two TD's and running in another on the ground in a 37-37 tie with the Bengals on October 12th, Newton was held to 246 total yards in last Sunday's listless 38-17 loss at Green Bay. Carolina was second in defense only to the Hawks last year but ranks 29th this season: "What are we going to do? Quit? Absolutely not," Newton assessed earlier in the week. "We have to keep going, keep fighting and we'll figure out a way to get out of this." Note that the Carolina offense is down a few key pieces because of injury including RB's Fozzy Whittaker and DeAngelo Williams as well as WR Philly Brown. Note that Seattle has seen the total go UNDER the number in four of its last five off a loss vs. a division rival, while Carolina has seen it dip below the number in five of its last six vs. NFC West division opponents. The situation, the numbers and the trends all do indeed point to the UNDER as the sharp wager in this contest.
