This is a 10* TOTAL BLOCKBUSTER on the UNDER between the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks.
For a number of different reasons I expect this total to sneak below the posted number once the final whistle sounds. Seattle opened the season with a 36-16 win over Green Bay on September 4th. So what's changed between now and then? Both teams were for the most part expected to be in this game, each overcame early adversity to reach this point. Seattle's defense struggled to start the year, but the unit would turn things around in the second half and finish as the league's best. The Packers for the most part are defined by Aaron Rodgers and their dynamic offensive unit, but it was Green Bay's defense which would improve the most over the course of the campaign, allowing more than 21 points just once in its final nine games. Seattle catches a break though today as Rodgers is ailing from an injured calf, which means that the Packers will clearly be leaning heavily on RB Eddie Lacy today. Note that Rodgers' 81.5 passer rating in the setback in September was his second-lowest of the season; also note that Lacy's 34 yards vs. the Seahawks was a season-low as well. The Seattle offense gets its yardage in chunks, a combination of strong running and safe/secure short passing routes to move the ball down the field, invariably this type of offense eats up the clock. Note that the Packers have seen the total go UNDER the number in three of its last four playoff games, while Seattle has seen it dip below the posted number in five of its last eight vs. teams with winning records. In my opinion, all of the conditions are right for a low-scoring UNDER in this one.
