Green Bay and Seattle meet on Sunday Night Football for a battle of two teams sitting pretty for the NFC playoffs.
The Packers are 9-4 this season and enter off a 34-31 loss at Detroit. Green Bay is 3-0 following a loss but will be playing its first back-to-back road set of the season. Somehow, the Packers haven’t had two consecutive road games all year, so how that affects Green Bay could be the underlying story.
Seattle is 8-5 on the year and leads the NFC West by a half-game over Los Angeles. The Seahawks have won four straight games since the bye week over the 49ers (20-17), Cardinals (16-6, 30-18) and Jets (26-21). The downside of this primetime spot at home on Sunday Night Football would be that Seattle is coming off two back-to-back road games for the first time all year and three road games in four weeks, including a trip to the East Coast. Both teams are in awkward travel spots.

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the Packers to cover at Seattle on Sunday Night Football:
Seattle is 4-0 in the past four games but I hold issue with who the Seahawks have beaten during the winning streak.
The Seahawks have beaten the 49ers, Jets, and Cardinals twice during this four-game winning streak. None of those teams have winning records.
In fact, the Denver Broncos are the only team that Seattle beat this year that currently owns a winning record. The catch? The two teams met in Week 1 with rookie Bo Nix under center for Denver in his first career start.
I like the Packers on the ML and -2.5. They are the better team and despite the back-to-back road spot, I like Green Bay to cover.”
