The Packers waited for a while to know which team they will be facing in the divisional round. Just as expected, we are going to have a great clash between Green Bay and Seattle.
Fifth-seeded Seattle, got a ticket to the divisional game thanks to a victory over the Eagles in the wild-card game.
The Packers are well-rested and playing at home, and are opening as 4-point favorites for this meeting. Current odds for the game are:
- SEATTLE SEAHAWKS +4-110, o46½-110, +170
- GREEN BAY PACKERS -4-110, u46½-110, -200
Seattle won the last game between these two franchises 27-24 in Seattle just last November. But the Packers won the previous three at Lambeau Field.

Packers vs. Seahawks Betting Odds Analysis
Let’s start with the quarterbacks:
Aaron Rodgers is currently 10-7 in the playoffs since 2010 and is also 3-2 at home. Green Bay is 3-3 in divisional round postseason games in the last ten years.
Russell Wilson is 9-5 in the playoffs since 2012 and is also 3-2 in away games. Seattle has lost five straight away games in the postseason divisional round, and this includes a 42-20 loss to the Packers back in 2008. Both of these franchises have been less than consistent against the running game from opponents. The irony is that both teams’ game plans are designed around running the football.
The Seahawks found it hard to penetrate the elite running defense by the Eagles, but Marshawn Lynch will likely have an easier time versus a less solid Green Bay defensive lineup.
Another interesting stat is that while Wilson has managed to complete 70% of his throws on the road, he has also been sacked 31 times in those eight away games.
When it comes to Rodgers, he has been phenomenal at Lambeau Field with a 101.6 passer rating.
