The Seattle Seahawks are 18-4 straight up and 19-3 against the spread in their last 22 games played in the month of December. The Seahawks hope to continue that trend this Sunday night when they host the Carolina Panthers.

The Seattle Seahawks will try to bounce back from a loss this Sunday night as they take on the Carolina Panthers, holding a strong betting trend in December games.

Seattle is a 7-point home favorite at CenturyLink Field at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. Weather reports indicate that Sunday night's game could have some rain or light snow.
After averaging 29.3 points per game over their previous three games, the Seahawks had a 3-0 SU and 2-0-1 ATS streak snapped with a dud of an offensive performance in a 14-5 road loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Russell Wilson passed for just 151 yards and threw two interceptions, and running back Thomas Rawls rushed for a modest 38 yards on 12 carries.
The Seahawks figure to be dangerous down the stretch and in the postseason due to their defense, but they’ll need to find more consistency on offense.
While the Seahawks have been good throughout December, Week 13 games have been particularly strong. Seattle is 7-0 SU and ATS in its last seven Week 13 games, per the OddsShark NFL Database.
Betting Line / Total: Seattle -7 / 44 Points
Trend: The Panthers are 3-0-1 ATS in their last four games against the Seahawks.
Trend: The total has gone OVER in the Panthers’ last three games against the Seahawks.
Carolina fought back from a 17-point deficit in the second half of its road game against the Oakland Raiders last Sunday, ripping off 25 straight points to take an eight-point lead into the fourth quarter.
But as has been the case all season, the Panthers couldn’t find a way to close out the game, eventually allowing a game-tying touchdown and go-ahead field goal to lose 35-32 and drop to 4-7 SU and 3-6-2 ATS. The Panthers are 3-0-1 ATS in their last four games against Seattle.
Sunday night’s total is set at 44 points. The OVER is 9-1 in Carolina’s last 10 games as road underdogs.
One season removed from ranking sixth in the NFL in total defense and scoring defense, the Panthers have fallen out of the top half of the league in both categories and rank 24th in scoring defense, allowing 25.5 points per game.
This defense could be a good one for the Seahawks to get back on track offensively.
