Key Stats
Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers are coming off a loss to their division rival Detroit Lions, 34-31. Jordan Love was solid in this game. He completed 12 of 20 passes for 206 yards and a touchdown. Josh Jacobs scored 3 rushing touchdowns. Christian Watson led the team in receiving yards with 114 yards on 4 catches. Tight end Tucker Kraft had a great game with 3 catches for 41 yards and a touchdown.
Despite losing the time of possession battle 24 to 36 minutes, losing by three is a good sign from this offense regarding big play ability. The Packers’ defense has been above average all season long. They are ranked 9th in points allowed per game, 21st in passing yards allowed per game, 9th in rushing yards allowed per game, 13th in offensive touchdowns allowed, 13th in sacks, and 3rd in takeaways per game.
Over the past five games, this defense has only given up more than 24 points in one game and it was last week. In his first year as the defensive coordinator, Jeff Hafley has this team playing great defense, especially when forcing turnovers. They need to be ready to take advantage of the opportunities Geno Smith will throw their way.
Seattle Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks are coming off a dominant win last week against the Arizona Cardinals. Seattle defeated the Cardinals 30-18. We saw Geno Smith have one of his more efficient games of the season by completing 24 of 30 passes for 233 yards and a touchdown. Zach Charbonnet stepped up in the absence of Kenneth Walker III. Charbonnet recorded 193 yards from scrimmage. 134 rushing, 59 receiving, and 2 rushing touchdowns. Jaxon Smith-Njigba led the team with 82 receiving yards on 5 catches. He also caught Geno’s only touchdown pass.
In terms of the Seahawks’ defense, they are above average. For the season, they are ranked 11th in points allowed per game, 10th in passing yards allowed per game, 21st in rushing yards allowed per game, 13th in offensive touchdowns allowed, 15th in sacks, and 14th in takeaways per game. In terms of injuries, Seattle is expected to be without leading rusher Kenneth Walker III again this week. He is currently listed as doubtful with the calf injury that kept him sidelined last week. It didn’t matter last week as ZC stood out, but this is a very talented Green Bay Packers team.
Prediction
The Green Bay Packers are going to defeat the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Night Football and cover the 2.5-point spread. The Packers are the better team, especially with the Seahawks missing K9. Geno Smith is third in the NFL in interceptions and the Green Bay defense excels at forcing turnovers, especially interceptions where they are tied for 8th in the NFL.
In terms of matchups for Green Bay, the Packers can run the air out of the football. They are 5th in rushing yards per game and Seattle is 21st in terms of rushing yards allowed per game. I expect Josh Jacobs to have a big game and the Packers to cruise to a win on Sunday.
