In their last games the Packers came back to beat the Dallas Cowboys 26-21 and the Seahawks beat the Carolina Panthers 31-17.
The Seahawks have won 7 straight games and in that span their defense has been great only giving up an average of 8 points per game. However, they gave up 17 in their last game, which is the most in the streak, and were not dominant against the run or the pass, which they have been in the 2nd half of the season.
The Packers head into this game as the big underdog and with good reason.

They were only a .500 team on the road this season and QB Aaron Rodgers is mot 100%. However, he was awesome in the 2nd half, especially the 4th quarter going 7/7, in the win over the Cowboys and RB Eddie Lacy had another 100+ yard rushing game.
In the first game of the season these teams faced each other with Seattle coming out on top winning by 20 points. In that game Rodgers had 2 picks and was held under 200 yards and Lacy rushed for only 34 yards.
No surprise that Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson are Rodgers main targets, but rookie WR Davante Adams was the leading receiver in the Dallas game with 117 yards including a 46-yard TD catch. Rodgers passed for 316 yards with 3 TD in the game and was not picked off. Seattle needs to get to him, but their pass rush did not look great in the Panthers win. Lacy had 101 yards in the Dallas win averaging a legit 5.3 yards per carry. If Rodgers and Lacy have similar numbers like the first game of the season the Packers are toast.
Marshawn Lynch and Russell Wilson lead Seattle and their top-ranked rushing offense, but the run game was not why the Seahawks won last week. Wilson had a stellar game and on 3rd downs he was 8 for 8 for 199 yards and 3 TD.
This game does not match up well for the Packers since their weakness on defense is against the run.

They played solid pass D against Dallas, but still allowed the Cowboys to rush for 145 yards.

4* Cappers NFL Free Pick
This one is a tough one, but something tells me Rodgers will have a big game. Still, while the Packers will cover the 7.5-point spread Seattle will win the game and advance to the Super Bowl for the 2nd straight season.
