Seattle Seahawks v. GREEN BAY PACKERS 4.5
Over/Under 46.5
They saved the worst game for last. I’ve been waiting all year to bet against the Packers in the playoffs but the Seahawks are so banged up, it’s difficult to come out here and pick Seattle.
We’re going to do it anyway because in this game we are using the pick the best quarterback piece of advice. Yes, Russell Wilson is currently better than Aaron Rodgers. It’s weird that the Packers don’t have the quarterback advantage for the first time in forever.
The problem for the Seahawks is that the best way to beat the Packers is by running the football. Marshawn Lynch has no explosiveness — this is to be expected — and Travis Homer isn’t an every-down back. You see the issue here.
The Packers have been winning ugly all year. They may win ugly again. Winning ugly doesn’t mean they’ll cover.
Picks:
Seattle Seahawks +4.5 over Green Bay Packers
