Well-rested Carolina Panthers (4-0) will travel to the CenturyLink Field on Sunday to face the hard-luck Seattle Seahawks (2-3) in a Week 6 game of the 2015 NFL season.
The Panthers have beaten the Jaguars, Texans, Saints, and Bucs in their first four games of the season, but that winning resolve will be tested for the first time in this game versus Russell Wilson and the Seahawks.
Carolina is fresh from a bye week with their last game a 37-23 win over Tampa Bay on October 4 at the Raymond James Stadium, as per Heavy.
Meanwhile, the Seahawks are coming off a disappointing 27-24 overtime loss to the undefeated Bengals as their vaunted defense collapsed in the fourth quarter to allow Cincinnati to come back from 17 points down in the fourth quarter, via Yahoo Sports.
Seattle struggled to contain Andy Dalton's talented corps of wideouts during the game, which is something that the Panthers do not have at this point in the season.
With Carolina relying heavily on quarterback Cam Newton's rushing game and veteran plays, the Seahawks defense will have an easier time containing them.
Expect for Seattle to bounce back in this game at home and hand Newton and his crew their first loss of the season.
Prediction: Seahawks win, 14-10.
