Seattle Seahawks at Green Bay Packers Betting Preview

— Sunday, November 14th Seattle Seahawks @ Green Bay Packers

The Seattle Seahawks head out to Wisconsin to take on the Green Bay Packers this Sunday. The good news is that Russell Wilson has been upgraded to “probable” for this game.

However, Aaron Rodgers could be in the lineup for the Green Bay Packers, which is bad news. Still, the Seahawks look to stay on the winning path, especially after their huge win over the Jaguars.

The Green Bay Packers are coming off a narrow loss to the Chiefs. Even with the loss, the Packers are still 7-2 and lead the NFC North. They’re also one of the best teams in the NFC and have the sixth-ranked defense in the NFL.

They’ll need every bit of that defense if Russell Wilson ends up playing. If not, this game should fall right in the hands of the Green Bay Packers.

Keys to victory for the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday

For starters, if Russell Wilson is in the lineup, the Seahawks will have a much better chance. From there, the Seahawks will need to get the ball to their playmakers quickly. DK Metcalf needs to be targeted early and often to get the Packers on their heels.

Green Bay has a stingy defense, so this won’t be an easy task for the Seahawks to accomplish.

On defense, they’ll need to find a way to limit the production of Davante Adams. Adams is one of the best receivers in the entire NFL, and they’ll need to slow him down.

They’ll also need to worry about Aaron Jones, the Packers leading running back. Jones is dangerous from the backfield and as a receiver. The last thing Seattle needs is for Green Bay to establish the run.

Keys to victory for the Green Bay Packers on Sunday

The Green Bay Packers are working towards taking over the entire NFC. They can increase their chances to do this with a win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

To do this, they’ll first need to have Aaron Rodgers back in the lineup, who should be cleared to play. From there, they can use their incredible defense to pester the Seahawks and slow down their offense.

The Green Bay offense works best when they control the flow of the game. They average 31.47 minutes of the time of possession, which is one of the reasons why they’re 7-2. They’re also one of the best teams against the spread this season.

Through nine games, the Green Bay Packers are 9-1 against the spread. In their last three games against Seattle, they’re 2-0-1.

Our pick for the Seattle Seahawks versus the Green Bay Packers

Each of these teams has the ability to win this game. This is especially true for the Seahawks, who could get Russell Wilson back in the lineup. However, the Green Bay Packers are an incredible team against the spread, so we have to go with the Packers.

Not only are they better against the spread, but they also have a better defense. The Packers should have no trouble covering the -4-point spread either. Expect the Packers to win this game by over a touchdown, but for the total to stay under the expected total.
