Seattle Seahawks beat Carolina Panthers

This one is not as much of an upset at all and this is the most likely part of the scenario to come true. The Seattle Seahawks are tied with the New Orleans Saints in the record at 10-3. The San Francisco 49ers are 11-2. When their records are tied the Seahawks are ranked better than the 49ers and worse than the Saints which is why we need a Seahawks victory.

Pete Carroll has full control of the Seahawks who look to go into Carolina and give the Panthers their ninth loss of the season. Russell Wilson has already thrown for 3,422 yards and 26 touchdowns on the year while Carson has run for over 1,000 yards but only 5 touchdowns. The real question in this game is, “Can the Seahawks stop MVP candidate Christian McCaffrey?”

If all three of these parts of the scenario happen, the New Orleans Saints will find their way back up to the No. 1 seed in the NFC. They will then be in control of their own destiny to the full playoffs home-field advantage.

Next. 2 studs, 1 dud in loss to 49ers. dark

It is crucial that in the next three weeks, the New Orleans Saints find a way to win out and get back atop the NFC.
