Sunday Night Football Betting Bonus for NFL Week 2

The Seahawks made that blockbuster trade in March to get Jimmy Graham because they wanted a better presence in the red zone.

They’re following coach Mike McCarthy’s lead heading into their home opener on Sunday night, focused squarely on this year’s version of the Seattle Seahawks in a rematch of last season’s NFC championship game.

This game isn’t going to be a test of strengths, though, so much as two heavyweights probing each others weaknesses.

The Green Bay Packers lost linebacker Sam Barrington for the season with a foot injury, but the potential return of strong safety Morgan Burnett could be a boost for a run defense that is once again struggling early in a season. The Rams were able to move the ball against the Seattle defense, leading to multiple scoring drives. His grandfather bought the family those symbolic shares when Drew was a kid.”I have three shares in frames, in fact”, Nowak said this week, one for each time the Packers have sold stock to fans.”When you drive down “The Ledge” (from his house) you can actually see Lambeau Field in the distance”.

The passage of time will continue to add distance between the 2015 championship game and present day, helping the Packers heal the wounds from the fateful game.

“We have a lot of stuff to clean up”, coach Pete Carroll said. Another big advantage for Green Bay, and a reason why the point spread is favoring them, is because the Packers are very hard to beat when they play at home. That history serves as the backdrop to Sunday’s game, not the motivation.

“I’m not talking about past year “, defensive lineman Julius Peppers told reporters.

“I can assure that we don’t feel as if we’re going into this game and we don’t have a chance”, Matthews said.

Against the Packers’ common three-receiver sets, that likely means Sherman will face off against Cobb. The home team always gets three points to start on the line, and then the Vegas line is adjusted based on who it believes is superior.

Last January it was a fumble of an onside kick in the closing minutes of the National Football Conference title game that led to Seattle’s overtime victory. Cary Williams is starting at right cornerback after Byron Maxwell’s free-agent departure, and Dion Bailey is filling in for Chancellor. The Seahawks, along with the 49ers, have been the two teams that have tormented the Packers over that stretch.

The Seahawks are dealing with a defensive issue of their own, as safety Kam Chancellor’s holdout extends into a second regular-season week. “He’s a marvelous player in terms of awareness and vision and anticipation and all of that….” If that happens, look for Green Bay to come out and make a statement on defense. “We need to get him in”.

So, let’s take a look at some things you may want to know about tonight’s game … In the game we don’t communicate, people score touchdowns, and people lose their jobs.
