Cam Newton and Russell Wilson get it on in this NFC matchup to start the season.

The Panthers hopes will largely ride on the maturation of quarterback Cam Newton. While all the physical tools are clearly there, some have questioned the leadership ability of the ex-Heisman winner. Defensively, things are starting to come together for Carolina behind last year's first round pick, Luke Kuechly, who led the NFL in tackles. Greg Hardy and Charles Johnson are also excellent at the defensive ends.
Seattle has one of the deepest rosters in the league, headlined by Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch on offense, and Richard Sherman on defense. The Seahawks have a big, punishing unit led by Sherman in the secondary along with Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor and Brandon Browner. Up front, the combination of Cliff Avril and Bruce Irvin can prove to be devastating at times.
