Seattle is a 3-point road favorite in Green Bay at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. Early weather reports indicate that this game could be affected by weather with heavy wins and snow potentially on the horizon.
The Seahawks bounced back from a surprising 14-5 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with an outstanding all-around performance against the Carolina Panthers last Sunday night, picking up a 40-7 blowout win. With that win, Seattle improved to 7-2-1 SU and 6-3-1 ATS over its last 10 games and 4-1 SU and 3-1-1 ATS over its last five.
The one downside to Sunday’s blowout loss was an injury to safety Earl Thomas, who will be out for at least the remainder of the regular season with a broken leg.
In six trips to Green Bay since 2003, the Seahawks are 0-6 SU and 1-4-1 ATS against the Packers per the OddsShark NFL Database. Seattle will be looking for its first road win over Green Bay since 1999 on Sunday.
Betting Line / Total: Seattle -3 / 46.5 Points
Trend: The Seahawks are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games against the Packers.
Trend: The Seahawks are 9-1 SU and ATS in their last 10 games in December.
Green Bay finally appears to be back on track defensively. After allowing 38.3 points per game over an 0-4 SU and 1-3 ATS losing streak, the Packers have allowed 13 points in each of their last two games and earned a 2-0 SU and ATS record in those games.
Seattle is a much higher caliber team than Philadelphia and Houston however, which should put this unit to the test. The Packers are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as a betting underdog.
Sunday’s total is set at 46.5 points. The UNDER is 7-3 in Green Bay’s last 10 games against teams with winning records.
When scheduled this was likely expected to be a matchup between two of the NFC’s top teams, but Green Bay hasn’t held up its end of the bargain at just 6-6 SU and 5-6-1 ATS. The Packers finish their season with three straight games against division rivals and would love to build some momentum with an upset win over the Seahawks on Sunday.
