At 4:30PM EST today the #2 seed Packers will host the #3 seed Seahawks.

In my opinion, the Green Bay Packers have a lot to prove in this game. Though they are the number 2 seed in the NFC, they haven’t had a lot of good competition. The only REAL team they have had to play was the Cowboys, and they lost that game. The Seahawks are on a hot streak, winning 7 of their last 10 games, including the wild card blowout against the Washington Redskins.

Bret Favre has to be careful of where he places the ball, because Seattle loves to take it away and sometimes turn it into points for themselves. Green Bay is the number 2 team this season in passing, behind only the undefeated New England Patriots. The only way Seattle will come out of Lambeau with a win is if they control the line of scrimmage defensively. Giving Favre time to throw will hurt them, because his receivers are smart and fast enough to get open, giving them a big gain.

My prediction for this high scoring game: Seattle 33, Green Bay 27.
