The Packers lost to the Lions last week but are slight favorites on the road in Seattle. The Seahawks went into Arizona and beat the Cardinals, a victory that gave the Hawks some breathing room atop the division. With the NFC playoff race tightening, this could shape up to be a Wild Card matchup in January. Check the full odds on BetOnline.
Prediction & Best Bet: Packers -3 (-110)
The Packers’ offense has been playing well, ranking eighth in EPA per play. After dealing with injuries and subpar play, where he threw interceptions in eight straight games, Jordan Love is starting to play effective football. This is reminiscent of the end of last season when he received some MVP consideration.
Josh Jacobs has been a big reason why Green Bay’s run game is in the top five, averaging 144.7 yards per game. He ranks third in the NFL with 1,053 yards and has scored 11 touchdowns, including eight in the last four weeks. Matt LaFleur’s offensive game plan will focus on the run, as the Seahawks allow 4.7 yards per rush.
While the Seahawks have won four straight, their offense has struggled, ranking 23rd in EPA over the last five weeks. The Seahawks' defense has been able to bail them out by forcing six turnovers in their last four wins, leading to points. Additionally, Seattle is just 1-4 ATS in the last five games against top-10 scoring defenses.
Expect a heavy dose of Jacobs and other backs for the Packers as they try to establish the run early, which could open up some passing opportunities for Love.
Player Prop Best Bet:
Josh Jacobs Rushing Yards OVER 73.5
While Jacobs has had two weeks with modest yardage, he is in for a heavy workload against Seattle. He’s had at least 18 carries in the last four games, leading to eight total touchdowns. Jacobs should have plenty of opportunities against a Seahawks run defense that isn’t great, allowing 126 yards per game.
