The Carolina Panthers are undefeated this season, but they're underdogs against a 2-3 Seattle Seahawks team that desperately needs a win at home. So, what are the keys to this rematch of the NFC Division Playoffs last year? Here's our preview & prediction:

Key To The Game:
Seattle's defense has been the best in the league since 2010, but they've been particularly dominant against the Panthers, as Carolina has only scored three touchdowns in their four games against the Seahawks since 2012 - one of which was a garbage-time touchdown in the playoffs last year. Carolina has to find a way to solve the riddle that is the Legion of Boom if they're going to win this one.
Prediction: Seahawks win 20-17
I think we'll see more success from the Panthers offense today, but Seattle's offense will play well enough in front of their home crowd to have the lead throughout most of this game, and will hold on to win a tight one.
