Both teams took a Week 7 bye, and have went 1-2 since then. They’re both sitting at four wins, though the Packers have the slight edge in winning percentage thanks to an early season tie with the Vikings. The Packers, however, are coming off a dominant 31-12 victory over the Miami Dolphins, while the Seahawks most recently fell to the Los Angeles Chargers in a close one, 36-31.

Packers vs. Seahawks news
- Yeah, this game might be a clunker — but we’ve got five reasons why it won’t be.
1. Russell Wilson has been on fire while Aaron Rodgers hasn’t been Aaron Rodgers
In the three games since the Seahawks’ bye week, Wilson has thrown eight touchdowns, one interception, has a 71.5 completion percentage, and a 123.5 passer rating. Wilson is heating up, and it comes at a good time as the Seahawks have a tough road ahead to make it to the playoffs. In his past six Thursday games, Wilson is 6-0 with 12 passing touchdowns and only three interceptions for 111.9 rating. Wilson needs one more win to tie Dave Krieg as the Seahawks’ winningest quarterback in the regular season with 70. Will it come tonight?
- How do the Packers beat the Seahawks? By getting to Russell Wilson over and over again.
- Throwing safety Justin Coleman into the fray has been a temporary solution to Seattle’s pass rush problems.
- Randall Cobb is out again, so Aaron Rodgers will have to rely on a pair of rookie Day 3 picks in a hostile environment.
Packers vs. Seahawks prediction
The Packers can’t afford a loss Thursday after some early-season hijinks (the nonsense tie against the Vikings, Mason Crosby crumbling into dust against the Lions) and a brutal final half of the season that includes games at Minnesota and Chicago. The Seahawks are in a similar boat at 4-5. But Green Bay’s secondary is stabilizing and Seattle’s blocking remains problematic — and those are two major storylines that should lead to a close victory for the visitors in prime time.
