Seattle Seahawks vs. Green Bay Packers

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page,General Hawks Squawk,This Week's Matchup Report by admin on Thursday 24 December 2009 at 1:11 pm

The Seahawks will likely have a rough go of it this weekend at Lambeau Field.  The Seahawks have lost their last six games on the road against NFL teams (not the Rams) by an average of 19.2 points.  That does not bode well for them this weekend against a Packers’ team that will likely be in a bad frame of mind after losing to the Steelers on the last play of the game last week.  The best chance for the Seahawks to compete in this game is to air it out on offense.  Matt Hasselbeck has a nice set of receivers in Nate Burleson, T.J. Houshmandzadeh and TE John Carlson so they need to put the ball up.  The O-Line will have to keep rookie OLB Clay Matthews out of their backfield to give Hasselbeck the time he needs to throw the football.  Julius Jones and Justin Forsett are probably going to have long days against the Packers who are only allowing 83.6 yards rushing per game and 3.6 yards per carry.

The Seahawks are also likely to have a long day on defense against the Packers’ O.  The Seahawks must get a good pass rush on Aaron Rodgers or he is going to pick them apart.  The bad thing for the Seahawks is that Rodgers moves the ball around while not keying on any WR or TE.  Even if the Seahawks can somehow slow down Rodgers and the passing game Ryan Grant will give them trouble on the ground.

PREDICTION:  PACKERS 34, SEAHAWKS 13
