Seattle Seahawks vs Green Bay Packers Prediction
I’m leaning towards Seattle and the points here. Seattle hasn’t been great at home this season, which is odd considering the 12th man has been one of the better home advantages in sports. However, we’re at the point of the year where every game means just a bit more with playoff and division implications at the forefront of every game and Seattle I think steps it up at home. The Packers’ defense has been shaky as of late and Seattle’s been decent at stopping the run so give me the points with Seattle at home on Sunday night.
