Packers favored by 8 over Seattle

Wowza!!

[BallHawk]

Way to high. I'd say we should be favored by about 5.

I'm searching for how many games the Packers covered the point spread this season. I know they cover a lot.

Didn't find it yet but found this interesting tidbit....



Bets are also already rolling in for next weeks Divisional Playoff matchups. Since being released this morning already 5600 bets have been placed on this game by bettors. Current NFL public betting information shows that 68% of those bets have been placed on The Seattle Seahawks +9.

Current NFL Future Odds show Green Bay listed at 10/1 and Seattle listed at 25/1 respectively to win Super Bowl XLII

12-3-1 ATS

lets see. maybe the point spread is so high because packer fans are overconfident? it's based on attracting betting money.

I think that's part of it, HH. There are more Packer fans than Seattle fans so the line could easily be skewed knowing Packer fans will bet even if it's a little high.

The Packers have a rested offensive line and time to prepare. But Seattle's pass rush looked awesome. Everybody knows the key to beating Favre is to stay on his ass. Should be a tough game.

I also agree the Packers are favored too high. The Seahawks were impressive in their win over the 'Skins. I think the Packers should be favored by 3. My gut tells me it is going to be a close game.

I remember a lions game where they bloodied Favre and he went on to absolutely destroy them...We will win this by 24...write that down...

NEW ENGLAND 11½ Jacksonville 48



Sunday

INDIANAPOLIS 8 San Diego 48½

DALLAS 7 New York Giants 47½

[outflow]

that 47 1/2 for the over under on Dallas/New York looks really high to me.

This could be the reason why.

I'm scared senseless by Holmgren; I owe Holmgren so much as a Packer fan and I think his Seahawks will be ready to the challenge plus Hawks has the best shot of all the wildcard teams to beat the Packers. Besides, Seahawks are a vet playoff team with a smart defense; Packers are wet behind the ears and are long removed from playoff success. Lastly, Seattle is an outstanding outdoors team...are Packers?
