NFL: 5 bold predictions for divisional round

Carolina Keeps It Close In Seattle
To go into CenturyLink Field and beat the Super Bowl-defending Seattle Seahawks, you need to play excellent defense and you need to run the ball with efficiency. Ever since Week 14, Jonathan Stewart has become a dynamic weapon for the Carolina Panthers. Since then, Stewart has ran the football 103 times for 524 yards and three touchdowns. With the lack of talent Cam Newton has to work with outside, having a big back like Stewart in the inside making plays is huge.
I have Seattle winning this game and the reason being is because not only are they the better team, but they have much more playoff experience than the Panthers. Cam Newton could put himself higher in the quarterback echelon with a good performance against the league’s best performance, but I don’t see that happening. For the second consecutive week, I see Luke Kuechly and Thomas Davis having a huge game. However, I also see the Seahawks winning in a low-scoring game.
