That's my hope!

Should be a close game but I have Seattle pulling this one out.

I think Cam Newton is the one big variable in this game. Thing is, even if he plays well I don't think it will be enough.

Seahawks with an unspectacular win, 24-13.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera has confirmed that defensive tackle Star Lotulelei suffered a broken bone in his foot at practice on Tuesday and will not play on Saturday against the Seahawks. That’s a huge loss to Carolina’s defense. Lotulelei is a big presence in the middle of the line, and his absence will be felt when Marshawn Lynch is running up the middle. And although Lotulelei only recorded two sacks during the regular season, he can be a disruptive interior pass rusher as well. Russell Wilson will be glad Lotulelei isn’t playing. Rivera says Lotulelei has already had surgery and that there’s still a chance he could heal in time to play in the Super Bowl. But Lotulelei’s absence makes the Panthers’ already slim chances of getting to the Super Bowl even slimmer.

That's huge. Odds are really starting to stack up against Carolina. So naturally I'm worried.

A 16 point spread is CRAZY in an NFL playoff game. There is no way I would touch that.

Horrible loss. Carolina is deep on the DL, but Star was a monster the last 3-4 weeks.
