Green Bay Packers vs. Seattle Seahawks Betting Odds
| Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
| Packers | -155 | -1 (-120) | Over 46 (-120) |
| SSeahawks | +130 | +1 (-120) | Under 46 (-120) |
The implied odds are slightly tilted towards Green Bay but we expected a close matchup irrespective of the margin they win by. The amount of points between the spread means bookies believe the game may be closely contested, down to one possession. As with any current trends to be considered, the Packers with their current form may prove to be the better choice but it won’t do justice to Seattle’s great home wins record against them.
Jordan Love QB vs. Geno Smith QB
For the Green Bay Packers, Jordan Love has performed well this season, proving he can lead the scroll. Throughout the 11 games played, Love has completed 2724 yards with 21 touchdowns, although he has a total of 11 interceptions which creates some inconsistencies. It is no surprise that Love is one of their deep threats since he has been averaging 247.6 passing yards per game which greatly influences the team’s offense.
On the flip side, Geno Smith is still an important player for the Seahawks. This season, Smith has made 13 appearances and has 14 touchdowns under his back, completing 3474 yards at a rate of 69.5%. Even though he was sacked 40 times during the games, he passed with a 90.4 passer rating that retained Seattle into most of their games.
Considering that both of these quarterbacks will be playing against each other, the result may rely on how both of them perform. Smith’s strategies are more calculated whereas Love relies on aggressive downfield tactics, making this struggle between quarterbacks worth watching. Mistakes should be minimised by both, because turnovers can determine the outcome of the game since both are evenly matched.
Packers’ Key Playmakers: Rush and Receive
The pair of Josh Jacobs and Jayden Reed are still spearheading the offense for the Packers’ attacking unit. Jacobs showed great determination during their last two outings versus Detroit and Miami where he was able to rush for a decent amount. Reed provided key plays in the passing game especially during the match against Miami and his plays helped the team win. Their effectiveness will be key in facing Seattle’s defense.
Seahawks’ Offensive Duo: Ground and Air Impact
Zach Charbonnet and Jaxon Smith-Njigba have formed an essential part of the plan concerning Seattle’s offense. Charbonnet managed to get in the end zone during the most recent clashes against New York Jets and Arizona, thus proving that he is also instrumental in scoring. A Smith-Njigba managed to go open as the main target of Geno Smith and made important catches, especially during the game that was victory over the Jets. Their efforts should be enough to crack the Green Bay defence.

Green Bay Packers vs. Seattle Seahawks Betting Previews
Considering the recent performances and the rather narrow betting lines, this game seems pegged with the potential to swing either way. The most important thing will be the quarterbacks and the extent to which the Packers offense can withstand the severe pressures of playing in Seattle. The more possible rationale is the under, which is reasonable given the run when it mattered most and the minute drill capabilities of both teams.
In respect to prop bets, if you want to place props on how individual players will perform, then perhaps look to Love’s passing yards prop bet or Smith’s touchdown passes props. All the same, however, expect a litany of bets on this game, with the general expectation that the Packers will cover the spread with high hopes, given their current form and important situations for the playoffs.
Score Prediction: Packers 24, Seahawks 20.
