This is a 10* TOTAL BLOCKBUSTER on the OVER between the Seattle Seahawks and the Carolina Panthers.
While we are primarily a situationally based handicapping service, we don't prescribe to any one single methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account a bunch of different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. The actual contestants on the field of play rarely enter into our equation when making selections, unless it's a Top 3 player like a LeBron James or Aaron Rodgers etc. One set of criteria which we almost always use when making our decisions, are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics. Sometimes these stats can be overrated and other times they help foreshadow the outcome of a contest.
This particular play is based on a few different factors:
The RB's are back, but…: Marshawn Lynch is back for the Seahawks, but he's hardly the focal point of this pass-heavy offense which is led by QB Russell Wilson and WR Doug Baldwin. Baldwin has 14 TD passes this year and all but two have come after Week 11. The Panthers welcome RB Jonathan Stewart, which makes QB Cam Newton even more dangerous, along with TE Greg Olsen; Newton threw 35 TD passes during the season, 20 of those 35 scores came at home.
ATS statistics: Note that Seattle has seen the total go OVER the number in five of seven vs. teams with winning records this year and in five of its last eight playoff contests, while Carolina has seen the total sail above the posted number in five of seven at home this season and in eight of 13 when playing the role of favorite.
The bottom line: The two most dynamic men on the field of play today are Wilson and Newton and there's no question in our minds that this one does indeed setup as a classic shootout between these two gunslingers. Whoever has the ball last is likely going to win this one and in our professional opinion, all signs do indeed point to the OVER as the savvy move in this contest.
