Pinnacle--Seattle + ***Divisional Round Game of Year....(Sunday)

How the pressure continues to mount for the Carolina Panthers. Pete Carroll must be enjoying this moment knowing he's already been there. The Panthers were one game shy of perfection. They have six pro bowlers on their team. They dominated on both sides of the ball all year long. They clearly have the NFL's MVP in quarterback Cam Newton. They have had a week to rest and open their playoff hopes at home. And they are barely favored by Vegas oddsmakers. Losing here will put Panther "respect" behind a full generation. That's the definition of pressure. Now they have to get by the best team of the past few years playing great and lucky football against the Conference Champions zooming with confidence. It seems like just last year Carolina lost to Seattle 31-17 in the divisional round. The Seahawks say to hold that thought and add this; The Panthers 27-23 two touchdown comeback win in week 6 means nothing. This post season contest has been elevated to a "means everything game". That's pressure. Cam Newton has thrown four interceptions in his last two games against the Seattle secondary. That has to be on his mind. On the Seahawks mind is Super Bowl redemption from last year's loss from the one yard line by not giving Lynch a chance to run four times to win. That loss gnaws at them. Twenty four hours a day. For the entire year. A return to the Championship game is their mission. Of which they know how to accomplish. The Seahawks have experience and pedigree. Seattle's overall defense is awesome and Russell Wilson is playing as well as any quarterback. His 4th in the NFL QB ratings, coupled with post season experience and the points, are the play with Seattle moving on to another game next week.

Indian Cowboy's Picks For Soccer

4-Unit Play. Take Juventus (-162) over Udinese (9 a.m., Sunday, January 17) (Italian Serie A)
The Italian top flight is underway again after its winter holiday break. Juventus have had quite a season so far, starting so poorly but managing to climb all the way back up the table and into title contention to defend their current title. Only two points from first place Napoli, this is a promising away spot for them. 17 goals scored away from their Turin home stadium, while Udinese have scored just eight times at home in nine matches. We'll lay some juice in order to get the mismatch here. Juve comes through with the win and three more points towards their title defense.

View Analysis
I'm taking the points with the Seahawks on Sunday. This is a much different Seattle team that the one Carolina beat 27-23 in October. And we should note that in that game, Seattle actually led by nine points (23-14) with less than five minutes to go in the game. Seattle left the door open and Cam Newton did a fine job of taking advantage, leading to a game winning TD pass to Greg Olsen with 32-seconds left in the fourth quarter. Back then, Jimmy Graham was still healthy and Seattle was trying too hard to make him an integral part of the offense. He led the team in receiving that day, and current top target WR Doug Baldwin was an afterthought, finishing with just three receptions for 23 yards. Baldwin has become Russell Wilson's favorite target since the Graham injury and the Seattle offense began calling plays that suit them best. They'll face a Carolina secondary that's a little different than the one Seattle saw in October. We are also likely to see Marshawn Lynch on Sunday, which makes this offense that much more dangerous. Seattle enters on a 6-1-1 ATS run on the road against teams with a winning home record, and under Pete Carroll, the Seahawks are 19-6 ATS when playing with revenge, outscoring the 25 opponents by an average of 25-17. I'm taking the points with the Seahawks, my Sunday Beatdown. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
