The Carolina Panthers (0-2) will travel West to face the Seattle Seahawks (1-1) in Week 3 Sunday at Lumen Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Panthers vs. Seahawks odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Panthers lost 20-17 to the New Orleans Saints in Week 2 to push as 3-point home underdogs. Carolina and New Orleans also hit the Under of 40 points. The Panthers have been outscored 44-27 in the first 2 weeks, and rookie QB Bryce Young is out with an ankle injury.
The Seahawks covered as 5-point road underdogs in their 37-31 overtime win over the Detroit Lions in Week 2. Seattle and Detroit easily cleared the Over of 47.5 points. The hope for the Seahawks is that WR D.K. Metcalf is active in Week 3 after suffering a rib injury in Week 2.

Panthers at Seahawks picks and predictions
Prediction
Seahawks 24, Panthers 16
Moneyline
Even with the Seahawks expected to win with ease at home in Week 3, I’ll PASS on their moneyline at the current odds (-250).
Against the spread
SEAHAWKS -5.5 (-110) is the bet in this game as the offense of the Panthers has looked abysmal through the first 2 weeks. QB Andy Dalton will also start with Young ruled out.
While Seattle is 2-3 ATS in its last 5 games, the Seahawks are at home and QB Geno Smith is coming off a nice bounce-back performance in Week 2 following a dud in Week 1.
Over/Under
UNDER 42 (-110) is the lean in this game with how putrid the offense of the Panthers has been. Both defenses are solid and the Seahawks may lean on their ground attack more with RB Kenneth Walker as Metcalf could be sidelined.
The Panthers are 0-2 to the Over in the first 2 weeks, while the Seahawks are 1-1 to the Over in the first 2 weeks.
