Looked ahead at weather forecast.
Caling for 1 - 3 inches of snow on Sunday.
SeaHawks traveling east for 2nd time in 3 weeks.
As Mike said"Packers have their asses up against the wall"

Tight game the first half.
In the end I predict The Packers will prevail.

Packers 27 Seahawks 15.

Despite a player here and there, these teams are pretty evenly matched. Best guard against Wilson taking off up the middle in those 3rd down situations because he may be in the endzone before we have time to blink.

Seahawks are 2-3-1 on the road averaging 15.3 ppg. Packers need this game ten times over where the hawks sit. Having another similar snow game like last week should help GB and hopefully give them an advantage out of the gate.
It's not just who you play but when and where you play them and with this game at home and their "asses up against the wall" I'm expecting a Packer W.

Believe this is the hardest game left on the schedule, even with it being at home. I don't see us scoring a ton of points, even with Thomas now out.

That said, Seattle is beatable. Their offensive line is probably the worst in football. We need to blow the line up and collapse the pocket on Russell. If we don't, our defense is in trouble with Rawls and Wilson starting to get healthy, though they did just lose Prosise.

I say we lose a close one 20-17. Hope I'm wrong.

Going by the last four weeks ... and using my special algorithm ...

---

As a team, the Seahawk's are second only to the Cowboys in the NFC. Yes they must play in Green Bay and most likely it will snow, yet I believe that they are a better "TEAM" than the Packers. The contest will be close until the 4th qtr. when the Seattle team will take the lead as well as the victory.

Seattle - 31
Green Bay - 24

Time to see if the past couple of weeks were a fluke. This is a game that we can win - assuming our defense shows up and looks average.

If I am Capers - I am planning to contain Wilson and stuff the run. Minimize the passes over the middle and make them throw to the outside. I could see Graham torching us in his usual fashion if he isn't a focal point

If the offense continues to grind out long drives and burn some clock - it should work in our favor. Wear that defense down and get the ball out quick - no time to run around waiting for a the big play against this D.

I think we squeak this one out in a nail biter finish.
