Ten Reasons for the Seahawks to Cover in Green Bay.
1) "Picking and Grinnning" - Green fumbles a lot, Favre throws lots of int's. This could be costly in a pressure-packed playoff game.
2) "Holding back the Years" - Coaching, Holmgren is the teacher, Sherman is the disciple. Holmgren coached in Lambeau, so this isn't alien territory for him.
3) "Inflatable Whoa-Man!" - The line is inflated. These two teams played in Lambeau earlier this year. The line was SEA -1, now its GB -7.5.... hmmm.
4) "Fakers and Shakers" - False Momentum. GB won its last 4 games by a combined score of 144 to 52. Denver rested players and laid down for them. The other 3 teams were really bad and in disarray (OAK, SD, CHI)
5) "We're not worthy" - Undeserving. GB by all rights shouldn't even be IN the playoffs. They needed an all-out collapse by Minny & a miracle TD just to qualify. SEA went on the road and earned their way here.
6) "Public Image (is) Limited" - The Public Myth, Talk to your least knowledgeable friends who bet. Everyone is loading up on the Pack for reasons like "they are a team of destiny" or "Favre's gonna win it for his dad". Not solid handicapping reasoning, to say the least.
7) "You spin me round like a...." - Record players. Look at the records of the two teams, 10-6 vs. 10-6. Based on this alone, the 7.5 points look appealing.
8) "Deja vu all over again" - 2nd time around. It's much hareder to beat a team you've already defeated. GB dominated SEA the first time, will history repeat itself?
9) "Spies like us" - Hasselback was Favre's backup. Holmgren was Favre's coach. Gee, you think they might know some of GB's plays?
10) "Cornering the market" - Both teams are banged up, but GB is especially think in the secondary. Both corners are banged up, whcih could make for some big plays for SEA's receivers.
Just some food for thought. Feel free to agree or disagree. I'm sure I could come up with some reasons for GB to win and cover too, but I feel these make for a pretty solid case for Seattle. In case you hadn't known, I'm on the 'Hawks.
