Moneyline (?)
The Packers are -200 favorites to win this Divisional Round game at home, but the SEAHAWKS (+165) are the better bet. Seattle has won eight of its last nine games on the road this season, including the Wild Card Round win over the Philadelphia Eagles. No one in the league is better at keeping games close into the fourth quarter than Seattle, and I expect the same to happen Sunday night. This will likely be a coin-flip game late, so give me the better odds as I take the Seahawks in Round 2 of the playoffs.
Against the Spread (?)
While the Packers (-4.5, -110) have covered the spread in five-straight contests against the SEAHAWKS (+4.5, -110), there is just something about this Seattle team that feels different this year. Maybe it’s that their receiving corps fronted by Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf is producing at an elite level. Or perhaps it’s the Seahawks’ ability to rush the passer. Nevertheless, give me Seattle and the points in Lambeau Field.
Over/Under (?)
The total for this NFC Divisional Round game is set at 46.5, which feels a bit too high. Both teams want to run the ball and rely on their defenses to keep this game close. Don’t be surprised if there are fewer than 17 points scored in the first half as each team “feels” the other out before opening up the offenses. This is a game where most of the scoring will likely come in the fourth quarter, but expect the UNDER 46.5 (+100) to hit.
