The Seattle Seahawks kick off their 2013 NFL season. Not only does this team have an exciting team, their fan base must be excited about the upcoming NFL season, let alone the opener, as their Seahawks completed a dominant preseason where they finished a perfect 4-0. Here's the schedule for their Week 1 meeting. Find out where to watch, game time and who their Week 1 opponents will be.

Time: 1 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT

Where to Watch- Channel: FOX

Week 1 Opponent: Carolina Panthers

If the Seahawks play the way they did in the preseason, this meeting should be a piece of cake. The Panthers have talent, but it's hard to compare them to the might Seahawks.

Why are analysts and NFL fans so hype about the Seahawks?

They clearly have the most complete team in the league after barely giving up points and lighting up the scoreboard. The Seahawks have the best of both worlds on paper and the numbers prove this. They scored 12 touchdowns and allowed only three. Opponents averaged just nine points per game. Meanwhile, they put up points by the buckets, averaging 27.5 points per game during the preseason.

The Panthers had a solid preseason, going 3-1 with victory over the Baltimore Ravens and Chicago Bears. Will this success translate into the regular season? They will start their season off at home, giving them an advantage over the Seahawks. The Panthers should be thankful they aren't playing this game on the road in CenturyLink Field where the Seahawks are unbeatable.

The Seahawks are looking to start their season off on the right foot. They have a lot of work to do as they will attempt to compete against the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC West standings.
