You have a 15-1 club who already won @ Seattle and laying less than a FG? Wow! The oddsmakers are begging for Panthers money. I think the main reason for the short number is the depleted secondary for the Panthers and the fact Wilson might have a field day vs this club and I kind of expect to see Seattle win this game, but buying to +3 (-135) if necessary looks solid as well. I think the emotional lift Seattle receives from winning last week plus Wilson coming back to the area where he played most of his college career helps. Early game might hurt Seattle, but their secondary is so strong and Carolina's depleted secondary? Tough task for them IMHO.
As for Steelers @ Broncos, I hate both teams, but tough to pass on Steelers +7.5 if Big Ben is kind of healthy. Is he healthy remains the question? I mean Pitt was -7ish vs Denver a few weeks ago at home, but with Brown & Williams so take about 4 points for them not playing... Pitt should be maybe +4.5 now or +6 Max? I'm just worried one big hit for Big Ben and you're counting on Landry Jones which is very scary. Also, Pitt's defense is so piss poor compared to the Broncos... the more I think about it, the more I can see Broncos rolling to a 27-17 type win and Steelers backers being crushed. Going to wait on this game as I don't have a good feeling either way at 7.5... probably Broncos ML is the best play for Teaser, Broncos/Seattle makes a lot of sense.
