NFL Week 8 odds: Early lines for Seahawks-Panthers and more

The Seattle Seahawks will be looking to put an end to a two-game losing streak both SU and ATS on Sunday afternoon as they take on the Panthers in Carolina. Despite their skid, however, the Seahawks opened as three-point road favorites against the Panthers at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com, with Carolina coming off an even uglier outing last week.

The Seahawks followed up their 30-23 loss to the Dallas Cowboys as 9.5-point favorites with a 28-26 loss to the St. Louis Rams last weekend as 6.5-point favorites. That dropped the defending Super Bowl champions to 3-3 both SU and ATS on the season heading into Week 8, when they'll face a Panthers team that just got blasted 38-17 by Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. Carolina is 3-3-1 SU and 4-3 ATS on the season.
