Well, it's been a solid 10 years since I last posted on this site. I'm not sure why this particular game is bringing me back into the fold, but I figured I would share a few thoughts.
Seattle -3
Under 49 (small play)
Primary reasoning/random thoughts:
- Seattle has the #1 rushing offense in the league, and Russell Wilson has started running more as of late. With Carson back, this is basically a 4 headed attack. This bodes well for Seattle as Green Bay is giving up over 30 ppg on the road, and has 3 defensive starters out.
- Green Bay is 0-4 on the road this year, and in their previous 3 prime time games, they needed a miracle finish from Rodgers to beat the Bears, barely got by a depleted San Fran team at home, and got carved up in the 4th quarter in Foxborough. Their only convincing wins on the year was last week against Miami and in week 3 against a hapless Bills team. For what it's worth, like Seattle, they took The Rams to the wire.
- Travelling across country on a short weak to play a night game in one of the fiercest environments in football. Just because it's obvious doesn't mean it isn't a factor that deserves consideration. Rodger's history in Seattle is not exemplary, although to be fair, he was facing the Legion of Boom, which no longer exists.
- Both teams are in must-win situations, so motivational factors cancel each other out.
- The bottom line is while these teams are mostly evenly matched, there is an edge here for Seattle. I see a somewhat sloppy game with Seattle running 30-40 times and Rodgers continuing to get frustrated with his coach and most of his receivers not named Davante Adams. Jones could come up with a big game like last week against Miami to help mitigate the crowd problem, but I don't see him going off twice in a row, at least enough to the point he needs to to help the Packers win.
Seattle 27, Green Bay 20. Best of Luck!
