Seahawks’ keys: The Packers’ defense has been susceptible to big plays, and Seattle can exploit that potential weakness with QB Russell Wilson and WRs DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett in the vertical passing game. Wilson, who is 0-3 in his career at Lambeau Field, completed 11 passes to the pair for 222 yards in Philadelphia. The Seahawks must find ways to limit Packers RB Aaron Jones’ efficiency on early downs. Pressuring Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers on obvious passing downs while keeping him inside the pocket will also be important.

Packers’ keys: They have been far too inconsistent throwing the ball, but it’s possible a week off could give the offense a chance to catch fire in the postseason. The goal for coach Matt LaFleur has to be creating opportunities for WR Davante Adams and Jones, the offense’s two big-play threats. The defense must win the line of scrimmage, harass Wilson and take advantage of any takeaway opportunity created by the disruption.

Who wins? A big night from Jones and an opportunistic defense should help. Packers 23, Seahawks 20
