This is the same team that beat the Bengals by one point, but also split the season-series with the 49ers by winning one game in overtime and losing the other at the 1-yard line. The Seahawks always play up or down to their level of competition.
I think this game is going to come down to one-score. In a game between two over-performing teams, I'll take the better of the two quarterbacks. The Packers were also lucky to win as many games as they did (13). The Seahawks were fortunate to finish with 11 wins due to their insane 10-2 record in one-score games, not to mention they just beat a Carson Wentz-less Eagles team by only eight points. "The quarterbacks are important for obvious reasons, but also because neither of these teams are particularly great. Green Bay is also home at Lambeau, so I see them covering rather easily." - Tyler Sullivan on why he has the Packers winning 24-14 Seattle doesn't have that type of alternative weapon to compliment Wilson at the moment, despite D.K. The Seahawks almost need a Deshaun Watson-like effort from Wilson in all these matchups, while Rodgers can take a backseat to the likes of Aaron Jones if he gets cooking. While I may like Wilson a bit more than Rodgers this season, the Packers have the better roster around their starting quarterback on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball. Unfortunately for Seattle, there's a bit more to it than that. "If we were strictly speaking about the quarterbacks, I give the edge to Russell Wilson over Aaron Rodgers in this matchup. The forecast for Sunday is calling for the high-20s, which the Packers will probably appreciate since they're 5-1 with Rodgers when the kickoff temperature is under 30 degrees." - John Breech on why he has the Packers winning 23-20 Although Wilson won his only postseason appearance in freezing weather (in January 2016 against the Vikings), he had a horrible game and Seattle only won because Blair Walsh pulled a Ray Finkle and botched a 27-yard field goal at the end of the game. "Since this game is being played on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field, I feel obligated to mention that Russell Wilson is 0-3 in his career at Lambeau and 0-2 all-time in the regular season when the temperature is under 30 degrees. Packers? And what critical X-factor makes one side a must-back? Visit SportsLine now to see which side of the spread you should be all over Sunday, all from the expert who's 34-6 on picks involving the Packers. It just gives Matt LaFleur's offense fits." - Will Brinson on why he thinks the Seahawks cover Do you know what those teams have in common? Their defensive coordinators learned under Pete Carroll and they operate the same scheme. They came against the Chargers (defensive coordinator Gus Bradley) and 49ers (defensive coordinator Robert Saleh). I know Aaron Rodgers might have one last playoff run left in him, but look at the two worst games by the Packers offense this season. The Seahawks might be a luckbox, but they're a luckbox with Wilson at the controls and he simply MAKES THINGS HAPPEN. "I'm done betting against Russell Wilson. Look for Green Bay to move on." - Pete Prisco on why he's taking the Packers to win 24-17 The Packers pass rush will be big here as well. Is this the game Aaron Rodgers gets it going? I think so.
That's why I think the Packers will be able to have success on offense. The Seahawks aren't the same team as in year's past, one that featured a dominant defense. "These two have played some fun games in the past, and this should be no different.
