Time: 8:30 PM (ET) on NBC
Favorite: Green Bay (open: 3 / current: 3.5 | over/under: 49)
Is it possible for the Seattle Seahawks to go 0-2 to start the season? In a rematch of the NFC Championship game from early this year and potentially a repeat in a few months, the former champs travel for a primetime game against the Seattle Seahawks. This marks the second consecutive week L.O.B. will be away from their home crowd, as they’ll have to rely on the run from Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch to carry them to a victory.
That’s where Green Bay struggles in the secondary, but the Seattle defense struggled last week without Kam Chancellor – who’s on an extended vacation from the team due to contract negotiations. We’re expecting this to be the game of the week, and could potentially have an effect down the line on playoff position and record seeding between the two in head-to-head meetings.
