The Seattle Seahawks (2-0) and Green Bay Packers (1-1) meet Saturday in Week 3 preseason action. Kickoff from Lambeau Field is set for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Seahawks vs. Packers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
Seattle beat the Dallas Cowboys 22-14 last week to stay undefeated in the preseason. Seattle played a good number of starters on both sides of the ball in that win, and they looked solid. Starting QB Geno Smith went 5 of 6 for 46 yards and his backup, QB Drew Lock, went 5 of 6 for 119 yards.
Coach Pete Carroll won’t play the starters heavily vs. Green Bay. He has indicated that Lock will get significant playing time yet again.
Green Bay lost 21-17 to the New England Patriots in Week 2. Starting QB Jordan Love and some of the other starters saw action. Love went 5-for-8 for 84 yards and 1 TD. Rookie QB Sean Clifford, who has been announced as the Packers’ backup QB, saw significant playing time vs. New England.
Coach Matt LaFleur said he plans to play Love and most of the starting unit vs. Seattle, but there’s no indication of how much they will play.

Seahawks at Packers picks and predictions
Prediction
Seahawks 27, Packers 23
Moneyline
LEAN SEAHAWKS (-130).
Many of Seattle’s brightest stars have not seen any time in the preseason, and that is likely to continue for this game, but I don’t think it will matter much. Lock has looked very solid and has proven he can lead this preseason offense. I expect Lock to post yet another solid outing and lead the Seahawks to an undefeated preseason record.
Against the spread
BET SEAHAWKS +3 (-110).
Clifford and Love have both been pretty solid so far for Green Bay, but Lock and the Seahawks are on a tear right now. The Seahawks have seen production from their starters in their limited minutes, and have also seen production from some unexpected places, like undrafted free agent WR Jake Bobo.

Over/Under
LEAN OVER 40.5 (-105).
The Seahawks have scored 20+ points in each preseason game and the Packers can put up big numbers, like the 31 points in the Week 1 win vs. the Cincinnati Bengals. I expect both teams to continue to play a lot of backups in this game, meaning the points for both teams should be consistent with what we’ve seen through the 1st 2 weeks of the preseason.
