LAST MEETING
Seattle Seahawks 9-17 Green Bay Packers
THE LOWDOWN
SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
Head Coach: Pete Carroll
W/L: 4-5
- Seattle almost came away from Los Angeles with an unlikely win against the Rams last week but came up just short.
- QB Russell Wilson fumbled late in the game and that allowed the Rams to extend their lead which proved to be the critical moment in the game.
- The Seahawks currently sit in second spot in the NFC West and whilst they’re comfortable in that position for now, they can’t afford many more losses in order to stay in play-off contention.
GREEN BAY PACKERS
Head Coach: Mike McCarthy
W/L: 4-4-1
- Green Bay secured a comfortable win at Lambeau Field against Miami last week as their play-off hopes remained intact.
- The Packers were dominant for large spells on the back of a breakout game for RB Aaron Jones, who made 145yds from 15 carries whilst scoring 2 TDs.
- Currently occupying third spot in the NFC North, the Packers may need to win from this point on if they are to sneak a spot in the post-season.
THE PREDICTION
Both of these teams showed some promising signs in their previous encounters and now face-off in an important contest with play-off aspirations on the line. The Seahawks’ home advantage could be crucial despite their 1-2 record at CenturyLink Field so far this season with the Packers struggling on the road (0-4). The Seahawks are slight favourites and can justify that tag by worsening Green Bay’s woes away from Lambeau.
