Final score projection for Seattle vs. Green Bay

The Seattle Seahawks have been one of the most consistent franchises of the past two decades and after beginning the 2020s with a Wild Card Weekend win over the Philadelphia Eagles, they'll now turn their attention to the Green Bay Packers in the divisional round. Seattle (11-5) and Green Bay (13-3) have had an interesting rivalry of late, playing each other six times from 2014-2018 and splitting the series 3-3.

With kickoff scheduled for 6:40 p.m. ET on Sunday in Lambeau Field, the Seahawks are four-point underdogs in the latest Seahawks vs. Packers odds. The over-under total is at 47 after opening at 46 earlier in the week.

The Seahawks are coming off a hard-fought 17-9 win over the Eagles last week. Seattle pressure forced Carson Wentz out of the game early and the Seahawks wound up recording seven sacks en route to victory. Russell Wilson continued his strong season with 325 yards and a touchdown while D.K. Metcalf hauled in seven passes for 160 yards and a score. However, Seattle running backs Travis Homer and Marshawn Lynch managed just 19 yards on 17 carries and establishing a running game will be critical to Seattle's success in the divisional round.  

Meanwhile, in Matt LaFleur's first season as the head coach, the Packers ranked 18th in the NFL in both yards gained and yards allowed, but the Packers were able to outmaneuver opponents in the red zone and that went a long way towards winning 13 games. Green Bay scored touchdowns on 64 percent of its trips inside the 20-yard line, ranking eighth in the NFL. On defense, they allowed touchdowns on just 50 percent of drives into the red zone and ranked sixth in the league. Aaron Rodgers took care of the football (four interceptions) and Aaron Jones did his best work in the confined spaces of the red zone, scoring 15 of his league-leading 19 touchdowns from inside the 20-yard line.
