Seahawks Host the 49ers on Thursday Night Football Week 15 Betting

When Seattle Seahawks traded Russell Wilson to Denver for a sack of prospects, Pete Carroll was the most hated man in town.  The Seahawks’ boss was panned for the trade.  But not anymore.  Carr saw what everyone else could not.  To illuminate, Wilson is past his prime and was a cancer in the locker room.  Seattle is playing better team ball with less internal strife.  However, their leaky defense remains a problem.  Defense is the strength of the San Francisco 49ers.  And that could prove to be the betting on NFL difference on Thursday night.

Seahawks on Descent And In Playoff Jeopardy  

Last game, the Seattle Seahawks lost 30-24 against the Carolina Panthers as 3.5-point home favorites.  The game went over the NFL bets total of 44.5.  Seattle has a record of 7-6 straight up, 6-7 against the spread, and 8.5 over/under the total.  Seattle ranks 13^th for total offense, 9^th for passing, 21^st for rushing, and 6^th for scoring.  Defensively they rank 28^th overall, 18^th against the pass, 31^st against the rush, and 30^th for points allowed.  Also, Seattle ranks 26^th for turnovers lost and 4^th for takeaways.

Carolina QB Sam Darnold threw one touchdown pass.  At the same time, Chuba Hubbard and Raheem Blackshear both had rushing TDs.  And then the Panthers stayed in the thick of the muddled NFC South division race with a win over the Seahawks.

Correlate that Darnold and Carolina built leads of 17-0 and 20-7.  Carolina took advantage of a sloppy first-half performance by the Seahawks.  In the second half, the Panthers ran through Seattle’s defense.  In turn, the Panthers delivered a blow to the Seahawks’ hopes of winning the NFC West.

Carolina won for the third time in four games.  And away from Charlotte for the first time since Week 10 last season.  As a result, Carolina pulled even with Atlanta and is within one game of division-leading Tampa Bay in the NFC South standings.  Following the Buccaneers’ loss in San Francisco.

Namely, Hubbard, Blackshear, and D’Onta Foreman were a three-headed trio that Seattle couldn’t stop.  Carolina rushed for 223 yards, with 180 coming from those three backs.  Foreman and Hubbard both had 74 yards rushing.  In comparison, Darnold was 14 of 24 for 120 yards passing.  But he didn’t need to do anything special through the air.  Cause by Carolina’s success on the ground.
