Seattle Seahawks at Green Bay Packers – 9/20/15 NFL Pick, Odds, and Prediction

When the Packers host conference rivals the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday tonight, the heavyweight fight between the pair of Super Bowl contenders will hit Lambeau Field. It was pretty epic, to say the least.

Packers fans remember the devastating defeat in the title game a year ago .

Want to talk about a team having a sour taste left in their mouth after a game? However, it all fell apart very quickly, and in heartbreaking fashion the Seahawks piled on two touchdowns in just 44 seconds to claim the win and send the Packers crashing out, stealing away a Super Bowl chance.

After three consecutive home wins – the 2012 “Fail Mary” game, last season’s opener, and the overtime thriller in the NFC Cchampionship Ggame – the Seahawks have to face Rodgers and the Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday Night Football. Toss in the fact that Green Bay is still smarting from last season’s brutal NFC Championship loss on the road in Seattle, you can expect the Pack to play with a chip on their shoulders. “Let’s not forget he’s coming off an injury”, said McCarthy, referring to a leg injury that kept Jones from playing the final two preseason games. Seattle has posed a problem as a foreign venue for the Packers, but it is possible that, as tables turn, we might find a different result altogether. While it’s an unfamiliar role recently, it’s also one in which they have fared well in the Russell Wilson era.

Despite the struggles against St. Louis, Seattle has done well against Aaron Rodgers.

Murray ran for a league-best 1,845 yards and 13 touchdowns last season for the Cowboys and caught 57 passes.

Getting a big game from running back Marshawn Lynch – In the opener last weekend, Lynch was held to 73 yards on 18 carries. They looked like your average defense last week against a Rams team that put up 34 points on them in an overtime loss. Don Barclay is expected to get the start. Some analysts predicted that three teams from the NFC North would make the playoffs, the division should get back on track this week.

“It’s not as if we win this game, all is forgotten”. The Rams did get a touchdown on a punt return from Tavon Austin, but Seattle should not be happy about allowing St. Louis to go 12 plays and 84 yards down the field in just under four minutes to tie the game late. Conversely, Rodgers’ passing yards have declined with each successive game from 223 to 189 to 178.

An intelligent man with a broad-based body of knowledge, Aaron Rodgers earned $50,000 for a child-cancer charity by winning an episode of Celebrity Jeopardy! last spring.

A sentence never before expressed in American culture: Green Bay is the new San Francisco. While Graham is going to quickly become Wilson’s go-to option offensively, don’t be shocked if the Packers shut down Graham. Kick off Sunday night is set for 5:20. The Packers might not be able to stop Lynch, but they sure need to do everything they can to slow him down.
