Seatrtle (-3) @ Green Bay (12-11-16)

[oldunclemark]

4:25 EST....Jack Buck, Troy Aikman and Erin Andrews (in a very thick fur coat) on FOX

Upper 20s and snow (a winter storm warning) in upper Wisconsin.....over-under at 46.5

 

Great matchup of arguably the NFC's two best QBs

 

Seattle star Russell Wilson (264 of 404, 3,142 yards, 12 TDs and 5 INTs), playing hurt all year will be walking in a winter wonderland looking for WR Doug Baldwin (68 catches, 832 yards, 5 Tds) and TE Jimmy Graham (57 catches, 769 yards). the SeaHawks have just 1,218 yards rushing in 12 games and that number may not rise against a GB defense that has allowed 3.8 yards a carry and just 59 rushing first downs all year..

Packer star Aaron Rodgers (309 of 479, 3,283 yards, 29 Tds, 7 INTs) has an odd ability to play well in the snow. Isnt he from California?

Seattle DB Richard Sherman has to choose whether he'll cover GB's Jordy Nelson (69 catches, 879 yards, 10 TDs), DeVontae Adams (59 catches. 793 yards, 8 TDs) or Randall Cobb (57 catches, 577 yards, 4 TDs).

Former Seattle RB Christine Michael will get a chance for the Pack in this game against the team that released him in November

Seattle has 30 sacks sand 11 interceptions and they've held five teams to 14 points or less. Seattle is 2-3-1 on the road but one of those wins was 31-24 at New England

Seattle has 27 TDs and 26 field goals.

Packers will probably go without OLB Nick Perry and ILB Jake Ryan. Seattle lost safety Earl Thomas for the year.

 

This should be fun.. especially the Seattle "d": vs Green bay's offense.

Seattle (8-3-1) doesnt need this game to win the NFC West and they wont catch Dallas (11-1) for the NFC's top seed but they do want to stay head of the NY Giants for the '2' seed. Green Bay (6-6) almost certainly has to win all their remaining games to catch Detroit (8-4) and win the NFC North.

 

I keep thinking the spread here is a mistake and will change. IT has in some places already.

I think the Packers should be favored especially in bad weather.  Both QBs are not 100% so any choice here is a risk.

But Green Bay is going to win this game.  Seattle has a lot of attitude but they dont have the running attack to keep the ball from Rodgers.

With help from 'Frosty the Snowman' I'd take GB straight up

Toss up game like many other this week. I'll go with the Frozen Tundra Syndrome.

Eddie Lacy would be great on a day like this......but he's done for the year...

[oldunclemark]

Rodgers 66 yards to DeVontae Adams...7-0 GB early...and the snow has stopped

Wilson with 4 picks wow not all his fault. This games over packers look gd on d.

All GB, Seattle looks like moldy cheese.

GB looking solid as a rock!

 

Maybe that mid season slump is over for them finally.

Looks like I will be pulling for Detroit and GB in the playoffs. One of them or if not both if they make it in.
