"Green Bay isn't happy that they lost the #1 seed because an extremely poor performance against Chicago," stated Point-Spreads.com NFL Playoff Picks Expert Mike Alexander of Alexander Sports when asked about the Seattle at Green Bay NFC Playoff Game match-up. "They could very well be out to prove a point in this one."
The Packers were tied with the Dallas Cowboys for an NFC best 13-3 regular season record; Brett Favre experienced a bit of a renaissance this season (4,155 pass yards, 28 TDs and 95.7 QB rating); the team earned a bye week; they are favored by 8-points and they are very profitable 12-3-1 against the spread, so bettors are lining up to back them this week of course, right? No so fast.
While Favre has had a good season overall, he did really stink it up in all three of Green Bay’s SU and ATS losses throwing for 1 TD and 6 INTs.
Also, the Seahawks took 7 of their last 9 games (including playoffs) straight up and ATS. It appears bettors aren’t comfortable laying the big points with this Packer team, as they aren’t that much better, when breaking this game down, than the visiting Seattle squad.
