Packers -3.5 @ Seattle? Explain please

[NYSportsGuy210]

Bengals +4.5 at Redskins looks good too. Bengals should win that one outright.

Bengals have severe depth issues at CB, with several injuries. That contributed to Flacco's success in Week 1 and made Weeden look quite impressive today. RG3 will attack them deep, which could make it really tough for the Bengals.

Bengals are a good road team and they have Dalton and A.J. Green son.

[OTL]

What have the Seahawks done to elevate them to the level that they should be receiving ~2 extra points of respect in the spread against a top 5 team? Dallas is not an elite team, and either way, one win is not definitive.

They're a different team at home. If you like the Pack better take them now, because this line will only go up. But proceed with caution. The Seahawks have been formidable on home turf for a few years, and they match up real well against one-dimensional teams.

[19th Hole]

Local here. Having watched every minute of every seahawk game for years, you should consider home/away as two different teams. Home seahawks are top 10 team. Away seahawks are bottom 10 team.

Seattle fans are desperate homers and cheer for all things local. We even turn out for a bad MLS team and go crazy for 90 minutes in the rain.

Doesn't explain the Sonics....

they also just made Flacco and Weeden look like hof'ers in back 2 back weeks..im all for fading the hype machine that is rg3 but cincy doesnt seem to be able or willing to cover anyone...

Irrelevant to Cincy's defense. Go ahead and take the Bengals and see what happens. Washington will take advantage of their secondary just like BAL/CLE did.

Already done, shortly after the line came out. GB is not a one dimensional team. Benson showed that he can contribute very nicely against the Bears. He will continue to get carries for the Packers.

[jjgold]

Seattle going to chew them alive

[Rich Boy]

ok ok you guys talked me out of it

Was skeptical when they posted this line. Will be interesting to see where it closes.

[k13]

You can get a 3 now....

[Resler]

Don't over think it this early in the season. I got green bay -3 -120. Pound it.

[PAYTON20]

Looks way too easy

Seahawks is the play based off the line alone

[PAYTON20]

haha... you're clearly uneducated on the issue

[Resler]

Seahawks are not the play. Rookie Russel Wilson or Rodgers.

[Stevedore]

Seattle has no idea what awaits them, GB thrives on the road; exactly what their struggling offense needs.

Brad or Kolb
A.Smith or Rogers
R. Wilson or Romo

Attendance was fine. Lowest avg attendance was 88%. Try having a man by the name of Clay Bennett do everything in his power to fukk a team over while still promising other bullshit. He proposed a new arena that would cost $500 million and offered 0 private money. Remember Sonics fans led the league in attendance for 4 seasons. Sonics were in Seattle for 41 years I'm sure the fans were doing something right.

Look around Seattle now people show up to a shitty baseball team

Sell out to a solid MLS team and football team.

[BettingWizard]

sharps are listening to lakerboy....

[Shonner]

This is the type of game I stay away from, or if anything, bet on GB ML

[leetreaper]

Epic fail my OP...

[Resler]

Not good comparisons recall except the Brady Kolb. Brady and the pats win that game 80 percent just like pack over Seattle. Take pack and expect to lose 1/5th the time.

Brad or Kolb
A.Smith or Rogers
R. Wilson or Romo

[Goat Milk]

They also have a decent attendence for WNBA as well from watching the games compared to other teams.

Please let me know when GB becomes a one dimensional team.

They've been one-dimensional for a long time. The book is out on them.

Really? what's the book on the Packers?
You are talking out of your arse.

The 49ers studied it, so did the NYG. Packers ranked dead last in passing defence last season, and 6th from last in offensive rushing. Fortunately for the Pack last week Cutler is not an astute student of the game. I doubt that clown even watches game tape at all.

Cmon man...take off the homer glasses for a minute. Cedric Benson still sucks and Greg Jennings is still banged up...nothing has changed since last year. Finley/James Jones still drop every other pass and everyone else in the league isn't dumb enough to block Matthews 1-on-1. I wouldn't play this game at all but GB in general has pretty big problems.

Yes that's all true & none of it adds up to being one dimensional.
The Packers are 16-3 in their last 19 games & 2 of the 3 teams that beat them played in last years NFC championship game.The year before that they won the SB thanks in large part to their D.
This year they have Cedric Benson at RB & are already being more balanced on offence.So what's the book on the Packers?I know hope the the receivers drop as many 3rd down passes from Rodgers as they did vs KC the NYG's & SF in their last 3 losses.It's no big secret if want to beat any good team you have to shut down their pass rush & have the weapons to move the ball.GB's defence is rounding back into to 2010 form I think you'll be shocked when they don't end up at the bottom league in stoping the pass or the run at the end of the season.

[Mr Handicapable]

Cedric Benson...the new 3 yards and a cloud of fumbles offense. Urlacher & Briggs move like they're 56 yrs old....doesn't impress me to run on them. Chicago has big problems too.

Okay--you obviously know alot more
than me about football-I mean nothing has changed in GB at all & how can they win w/o jennings?

[Mr Handicapable]

I'm not trying to argue but Jennings was a top 10 monster...thats a big loss if he can't get it back. GB has Rodgers...just like Indy had Peyton all those years to perfume the turds on the roster. They'll still prob win the division...maybe 11-5 but @ Seattle is no piece of cake. They weren't playing a div. winner schedule to go 15-1 and now they are.

I never said anything about the game being easy--I said GB is not one dimensional.

[lakerboy]

Seahawks in for a letdown game after big win expect pack to roll
