#307 ASA 3* PLAY ON Seattle -3over Green Bay, Thursday at 8:15 PM ET
This is aREALLY tough spot for the Packers. It’stheir third road game in the last four week and long travel on a shortweek. Not only have they been on the roada lot as of late, it’s been long travel. They went to the west coast vs Rams, then east coast vs Patriots thenext week, then home vs Miami, how west coast against on a short week. That is as tough a schedule as you could mapout. Seattle is at home where they areplaying just their 4th game this season. They are 1-2 here at home but their losseswere both close vs Rams and Chargers, two of the best teams in the NFL. Seattle played toe to toe with the Rams onthe road last week losing 36-31. Seattleran for 273 yards vs the Rams and LOST! Speaking of that we expect Seattle to dominate the rushing game tonightas they lead the league in rushing at 152 YPG while GB allows 121 YPG (22ndin NFL). That should open things up forRussell Wilson and the passing game. Wilson has had a fantastic year completing 66% of his passes for anaverage of 7.96 yards per pass and 21 TD’s. It could be argued Wilson is having a better year than Aaron Rodgerswho’s completing just 60% of his passes for 7.32 yards per pass and 17TD’s. On the road, where GB is 0-4,Rodgers has completed under 60% of his passes with a QB rating of 98 (Wilsonhas rating of 110 this season). Becauseof the short week travel situation, road teams can struggle on Thursdaynights. They are just 2-8 SU thisyear. GB is in an even more drastictravel spot because of previous weeks. Seattle has a solid defense and should be able to move the ball verywell as discussed above. The Pack willhang around for awhile but we like Seattle to wear them down and win this oneby a TD or more.
