Oddsmakers currently have the Packers listed as 3-point favorites versus the Seahawks, while the game’s total is sitting at 49.
Green Bay may receive a much-needed boost to its defense as safety Morgan Burnett (strained calf) is in line to make his season debut after watching the team get shredded for 189 yards rushing by the Bears. “To be honest with you, one guy doesn’t make a difference,” Burnett told ESPN of the expectations of the defense. “It’s a collective effort, a collective group, and we make each other look good, we make each other better. Honestly, one guy doesn’t make a difference to me.” With respect to Burnett, the season-ending foot injury to linebacker Sam Barrington could be a difference-maker as his replacement, Nate Palmer, is still dealing with a left hand injury.
Last time out for Green Bay, they were a 31-23 winner as they battled the Bears on the road. The Packers covered in the match as a -6-point favorite, while 54 combined points moved the game OVER for totals bettors.

Coach Pete Carroll reiterated that he is “disappointed” in the situation that has led safety Kam Chancellor to remove himself from the team, but is prepared to go without him on Sunday. “Nothing has changed. It really has never been a negotiation. It’s been conversations. Nothing’s changed though,” Carroll told reporters. “…I’m just disappointed like I know he is and everybody is that it hasn’t found a way to get him here. That’s all.” Defensive back Dion Bailey, who made his NFL debut and started in Chancellor’s place against the Rams, gave up the game-tying touchdown to Lance Kendricks in the waning moments of regulation.
Seattle was a 34-31 loser in its last match on the road against the Rams. They failed to cover the -3.5-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 65 sent OVER bettors to the payout window.
