Two NFC division leaders square off in Week 17 action when the Seattle Seahawks visit the Carolina Panthers. Each team is coming off a massive divisional win, with Seattle upsetting the Los Angeles Rams in a thrilling Thursday Night Football affair to move to 12-3 and in the driver’s seat for both the NFC West title and the No. 1 seed in the conference, while the Panthers beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to enter Week 17 with a slim lead in the division. Those teams meet again in Week 18 in a game that may very well be a win-or-go-home situation for both sides.
Kickoff from Bank of America Stadium is set for 1 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+. The Seahawks are seven-point road favorites per the latest Seahawks vs. Panthers odds from DraftKings, while the over/under for total points scored is 42.5.
