Panthers have a better shot staying within the number with the Red Rifle behind center...IMO
The Seattle run defense is something to look at..I see low scoring as well.
Stafford and the rams confirmed Seattle Is susceptible to a short controlled passing game..the rams converted multiple 3rd downs over the middle.
this will be close IMO>
"Panthers have an experienced backup quarterback in Andy Dalton and that's just another reason to rest Young. Dalton ranks 24th all-time in NFL history for passing yards. He is far from a perfect quarterback, but he has been a productive pro.
Plus, he knows he can beat the current iteration of Seattle's defense. Last year Dalton played for the Saints and he got to start against Seattle in Week 5. Dalton wasn't explosive against the Seahawks but he was efficient and he
completed 16 of 24 passes for 187 yards and a touchdown and an interception. Of course, the Saints ran all over the Seahawks that day and gained 235 yards on the ground.
Carolina could beat Seattle the same way New Orleans did last year in the Saints 39-32 victory. Seattle has been better through two games of 2023 against the run, but that is such a small sample size that we can't really be sure the run defense is better. Seattle also still struggles with allowing completions over the middle to keep drives alive. Dalton has the experience to take what the defense gives him and he could lead New Orleans to an efficient, but not exciting, win."
