Packers vs. Seahawks: Time, How to Watch

Date: Sunday, December 15, 2024

Time: 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff

Location: Lumen Field, Seattle, Wash.

Where to Watch: NBC

This NFC matchup features a division leader in the 8-5 Seattle Seahawks as well as the 9-4 Green Bay Packers who sit squarely in the Wild Card hunt.

The Packers are looking to secure a Wild Card spot behind two dominant teams in the NFC leading Detroit Lions and the 11-2 Minnesota Vikings in their division. The Seahawks on the other hand are looking to take a lead in what seems to be one of the worst divisions in football as the division is separated by 2.5 games.

Both offenses headline this game as weapons like Josh Jacobs and Jaxon Smith-Njigba are the focal points of these offenses. Let’s take a look at how these stars can cash your PrizePicks lineups in this matchup with the picks below.

Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba 66.5 Receiving Yards — More

Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been the focal point of the Seahawks passing offense over the last five games. Over the last five games, JSN ranks 4th in receiving yards in the NFL, with 523. With an average of 104.6 receiving yards per game in that span, JSN has solidified himself as the WR2 over Tyler Lockett. 

Another thing helping JSN’s case is the Packers are ranked in the bottom 10 in passing yards allowed this season. They average 222.2 pass yards allowed per game this season with an average of 271 yards over their last three games. The pass defense has been problematic lately, as the Packers are 31st in dropback success rate (51.7%).

Smith-Njigba should have success and cash this projection for the seventh-straight game.

Packers QB Jordan Love 31.0 Pass Attempts — Less

The Packers have found more balance in their playcalling as the season has progressed. At the start of the season, Packers QB Jordan Love threw at least 31 passes in four of the first five games. Since then, he has only averaged 24.83 pass attempts per game and only cashed his 31 pass attempts once in that span.

Green Bay averages the third-lowest passing play percentage this season, with only 49.17% of all play calls being passes, as they lean on RB Josh Jacobs. That percentage drops slightly when on the road to 46.67%. 

The Packers will rely heavily on the run game to limit the passing offense of this Seattle team so Jordan Love will likely fall short of this projection.

TD Scorer Pick: Packers RB Josh Jacobs (Goblin)

Josh Jacobs has been a touchdown machine in his last four games, scoring 8 touchdowns in that span. Although the Seahawks are tied for 7th in rushing touchdowns allowed, the Packers’ play calling makes it more likely Jacobs will find the end-zone this week.

The Seahawks have allowed the 13th most rushing yards, although they tighten up the rushing defense closer to the goal line. Jacobs has been inconsistent in the passing game, so if he is going to find the end-zone, it will most likely be on the ground in one of the most run-heavy offenses in the NFL.

Note: Goblin picks decrease your payout on PrizePicks, as they are easier projections to hit.

Game Prediction: Packers 28, Seahawks 21

This game should be intense as both teams are looking to get one step closer to clinching a playoff berth. These offenses can at times be unpredictable. However, in recent weeks, both teams have found success. 

The Packers will rely heavily on the run game as it will limit the Seahawks, who can score through the air relatively easily with one of the better receiving duos in the league. 

Look for the Packers to control the time of possession and ultimately come away with a stop to seal the game for them. This game I see coming down to the wire as QB Geno Smith and the Seahawks will be going down the field in an effort to tie. 

If the Seahawks want to win this game, they will have to limit the impact of Jacobs and stuff the run early in the game. 

Forcing Love to throw the ball to a receiving corps that has had its ups and downs will be how they win. The Packers on the other hand need to rely on their defense to slow down Smith-Njigba and DK Metcalf to ensure success as Smith relies heavily on them.
