Green Bay (+ 7 1/2) @ Seattle (1-18-15)

[oldunclemark 10,311]

FOX.... 3:05 EST.....50 degrees with a chance of (big surprise in Seattle) rain..over-under 47

Seattle QB Russell Wilson (257 of 407, 3,357 yards) has rushed 96 times for 539 yards..

Seattle allows 4.4 yards per play..No. 1 in the NFL

Richard Sherman has 8 interceptions (not counting one more last week)

Marshawyn Lynch (301 carries), 1,257 yards) gained 110 yards vs. Green Bay in September..

GB QB Aaron Rodgers (341 of 520, 4,381 yards, 38 TDs, 5 INTs) is the 2015 NFL MVP and the Packers average

31 points a game..No.1 in the NFL..Rodgers threw for 316 last week..

RB Eddie Lacy (246 rushesm 1,139 yards) caught 42 passes for 427 yards during the regular season.

WR Jordy Nelson caught 98 for 1,519 yards..WR Randalll Cobb caught 91 for 1,287..

Seattle is 8-1 at home..GB is 5-3 on the road....No NFC team has repeated as conference champ in 17 years.

The last team was the Packers (1996-97_

Seattle has not allowed more than 30 points in a game all year. GB has scored 30 or more 8 times..

The injury to Aaron Rodgers decides this game. His inability to move as normal limits what GB can do.

Unless the Packers are lying about his injury ( a possibility), he's no better than last week. The Packers defenders are not quick enough to stay with Wilson.

Seattle usually covers at home..(every game except Dallas and Oakland) and they win and cover here.

Rain would also favor Seattle....the spread will probably grow to 8 or 9..

I'd take Seattle and the over

[amfootball 2,769]

That is a huge spread for a title game but I would still bet Seattle. I think they win by 14 or more. With Rodgers unable to create with his feet, I just don't see how they keep that defense off-balance. I think both Wilson and Lynch have big games as well. Hawks roll 35-21. I would take the over.

[MJD42 82]

Tight game in the first half then the Hawks pull away. Could be ugly for Rodgers like the last time as he has already said he is going to challenge Sherman ...

I wish there was more drama here..

We've just seen this before, I think. Its very hard to play there. Your linemen cant get a quick start.

You cant run wide....

MJC is right...you eventually have to challenge Sherman.

I'd love to see a closer game..but GB isn't a really good defensive team and they cant make Wilson turn it over.

If Lynch fumbles a couple of times or there's some special team blunders..its close for a while....but, unless they're lying,

Rodgers cant run away from the rush...He may not finish the game

[oldunclemark 10,311]

From a points standpoint,,a GB win seems likely to be a FG or 6 points

...a Seattle win could be broken open by a fumble of interception ate and could be that 14point spread

[oldunclemark 10,311]

the spread is up to eight..Green Bay (+8) in most places

[oldunclemark 10,311]

rain is significant 90 minutes to game time

[geordiecolt 35]

would love to see the packers win this one, really disliking the seahawks more and more with all the stuff they spout. Would love them to get serious yards on Sherman

 

Think logically though the seahawks riding Lynch will get the win in a close game as Lacy will get shutdown and GB wont establish the run

[snkdy 1,314]

Go Packers!

[snkdy 1,314]

Randall Cobb was hospitalized yesterday wow. Glad he's okay.

[HtownColt 2,940]

@zachkruse2: Wow, per @JayGlazer: Randall Cobb was in the hospital for three hours last night. Thought he had appendicitis. Playing today.

[SteelCityColt 7,140]

they've sent Nelson over to Shermens side to start..

[Derakynn 1,284]

Have never wanted the Packers to win until now. 

[snkdy 1,314]

Man, that stadium is loud.

[ruksak 5,977]

Eddie Lacy, the guy I thought Richardson would be. 

[snkdy 1,314]

Lol Seattle. Two mistakes already.

[Moose Of Woe 1,342]

Twelve men on the field for Seattle.

 

Isn't that always the case at SEA?

[SteelCityColt 7,140]

Man, that stadium is loud.

Sorry what did you say? Couldn't hear you

[SteelCityColt 7,140]

Eddie Lacy, the guy I thought Richardson would be.

Ain't that the sad truth..

[snkdy 1,314]

[ColtsBlueFL 5,579]

That Stadium and Arrowhead are crazy loud places.

[ColtsBlueFL 5,579]

Sherman!

[SteelCityColt 7,140]

Welp.. Good pick.

[snkdy 1,314]

I can't

[oldunclemark 10,311]

Refs are allowing Seattle DBs a lot of contact...that's doom for GB

[ColtsBlueFL 5,579]

He tried him, maybe wont again the rest of the game. Just like last time.

[PeterBowman 2,857]

Refs are allowing Seattle DBs a lot of contact...that's doom for GB

When do they not allow them a lot contact? Lol

[pacolts56 3,201]

Well...that should provide a boost to Sherman's languishing self-esteem.

[our_dbs_rock 828]

D Lineman was close to being offsides

[snkdy 1,314]

Rodgers looked off on that drive. Throwing behind receivers etc.

[oldunclemark 10,311]

Adams has got to go get that ball...He waited for it.

Interception in the end zone .no big deal

[ColtsBlueFL 5,579]

Nice pick!

[PotatoHead 42]

yes , go Green Bay

[SteelCityColt 7,140]

Pick right back!

[oldunclemark 10,311]

Russel Wilson high toss..GB in business

[snkdy 1,314]

YES

[SteelCityColt 7,140]

Adams has got to go get that ball...He waited for it.Interception in the end zone .no big deal

Agree on Adams there.

[snkdy 1,314]

Oh this game is going to be fun

[oldunclemark 10,311]

Russel Wilson high toss..GB in business

I take ti back...that's catchable

[PeterBowman 2,857]

Luck can relate to that tip pick
