Where: Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin
Televised: NBC
Odds: The line opened with Green
Bay as a 3 point favorite and it has been bet up slightly to 3.5. The OU is
holding steady at 49.
The
Seattle Seahawks come in off a very rough 34-31 OT loss at St Louis last week.
Could the Seahawks be suffering from the Super Bowl loss hangover? Only time
will tell. The offense had its moments and put up 31 points in the game, but
just 343 yards of total offense. The ground attack had 124 yards, while the
passing attack put up just 219 yards. Wilson hit 31 of 42 passes for the 219
yards, which is just 5.3 yards per attempt. The defense is where this team had
issues and everyone was waiting to see how they would respond now that Dan
Quinn is no longer the DC. The pass defense was one of the best in the league
last year, allowing just 194 ypg through the air, but St Louis in game 1 put up
276 yards through the air.
The
Packers come in off a solid 31-23 road win vs the Chicago Bears, but in looking
at the stats they do have some things to work on. Last year the Packers put up
384 ypg game of total offense, but vs a weak Bears defense they were able to
muster just 323 yards of total offense. The passing game put up just 189 yards after
averaging 263 ypg through the air last year. This was vs a Bears defense that
allowed 264 ypg passing last year. The defense also struggled in the game as
they allowed 402 ypg overall, including 189 yards on the ground. Matt Forte
really ran all over this defense and now they have to face Marshawn Lynch. This
defense could be in trouble.

[288] Green Bay -3.5 over SeattleThe Packers looked good in their opening game vs the Bears, while the Seattle defense was shredded through the air by a below average St Louis passing attack. This week they take on a much better passing offense so this one could get ugly for the Seahawks. Green Bay should get their revenge for last year's playoff loss.
