Oddsmakers currently have the Seahawks listed as 7-point favorites versus the Packers, while the game’s total is sitting at 46½.
Although Seattle gave up two TDs in a game last week for only the second time since mid-November, it is the first team to lead the league in fewest points (15.9) and yards per game (267.1) in back-to-back seasons since the Chicago Bears in 1985-86. “Guys are doing whatever it takes to win,” Sherman said. “Guys are playing for one another, they don’t care about stats. Championships are won in the playoffs.” Russell Wilson threw for 268 yards and three scores last week to improve to 25-2 at home (playoffs included) and has the luxury of handing off to Marshawn Lynch, who gashed the Packers for 110 yards and two TDs en route to his fourth straight 1,200-yard season. The “Legion of Boom” secondary made its presence felt last week with Kam Chancellor’s 90-yard interception return for a score.
Seattle won its last outing, a 31-17 result against the Panthers on January 10. The Seahawks earned a push in that game as a -14-point favorite, while the 48 combined points took the game OVER the total.

The left calf injury took away Rodgers’ mobility against Dallas, but he still threw for 316 yards and three touchdowns, completing his final 10 passes and leading a pair of long touchdown drives in the comeback victory. Green Bay shied away from throwing at star cornerback Richard Sherman in Week 1 but it has ample weapons with the wideout tandem of Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb – a combined for 189 catches and 25 touchdowns during the regular season – along with rookie Davante Adams, who had seven catches for 117 yards and a TD versus the Cowboys. Running back Eddie Lacy was limited in practice Thursday but has rushed for at least 97 yards in six of the last seven games, while Green Bay’s defense has held eight of the past nine opponents to 21 points or fewer.
Green Bay was a 26-21 winner in its last match at home against the Cowboys. They failed to cover the -5.5-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 47 sent UNDER bettors to the payout window.
Team record: 13-4 SU,9-7-1 ATS
Current Streak: won 3 straight games.
Green Bay is 8-1 SU in its last 9 games
The total has gone OVER in 14 of Green Bay’s last 21 games
