Seattle Seahawks vs. Green Bay Packers

The Packers and Seahawks are both coming off disappointing losses, but the Seahawks are finally getting healthy.  Matt Hasselbeck and Shaun Alexander will both be starting on Monday Night.

Look for the Packers to run the football with Ahman Green (644 yards rushing) and Vernand Morency (235 yards rushing) against a soft Seahawks run defense that allowed Frank Gore to rush for 212 yards last week, and have allowed an average of 117.8 yards rushing and 4.5 yards per carry on the season.  Brett Favre (2,368 yards passing) could also have a good day against the Seahawks who allow 212.7 net yards passing per game.  Donald Driver (58 rec, 813 yards) could have a huge game on Monday Night.

Look for the Seahawks to throw the ball alot against a Packers secondary that is allowing 241.3 net yards passing per game.  Darrell Jackson (50 rec, 785 yards) and Deion Branch should cause all kinds of trouble for the Packers as long as the line gives Hasselbeck enough time to throw the ball.  The Packers already have 33 sacks (Aaron Kampman has 10), and the Seahawks have allowed 34 sacks on the season…so that could be a problem.  Shaun Alexander could have a rough time against the Packers defense which is only allowing 3.7 yards per carry this season.

Look for an offensive shoot-out on Monday Night.  I have a feeling that the gimpy QB that protects the football better will prevail in this game.
