Russell Wilson, leading up to the injury that he suffered this season, has been one of the NFL’s ironmen. With the Seahawks defense not what it used to be, and a hot Aaron Rodgers in a cold Lambeau, look for the Green Bay offense to carve up the Seattle defense. Even though the identity of the Seahawks has been their defense for many years, Rodgers has thrown 12 touchdowns and just two interceptions in nine games. Aaron Rodgers, in 49 November starts, has an impressive 105 TD to 20 INT ratio. The Packers return to Lambeau this week after a two-week road stretch, and as everyone knows, this Packers team takes things up a notch when the weather turns in Green Bay. Even though last week’s loss doesn’t count against Rodgers, it is worth noting that Aaron Rodgers is 6-0 under Matt LaFleur when following a loss. Despite all the noise, Rodgers is expected to return to the field Sunday vs. The Packers have dealt with controversy within the organization this past week with QB Aaron Rodgers. Their defense, however, has played lights out, ranked 5th best and giving up just 321.2 YPG. Despite having the reigning MVP, the Packers are a middle-of-the-road offense this year, averaging 333.4 YPG. Rodgers, who is within Covid protocols, is expected to return to the field this week as he is eligible to join the team Saturday, should he pass his tests. The Packers had a roller coaster two weeks, getting a huge road win over the Cardinals, who were undefeated, then losing last week in Kansas City without Aaron Rodgers 13-7. The Green Bay Packers sit among the top teams in the NFL with a 7-2 record. Defensively they are the second-worst, only ahead of the Jets, giving up 401.5 YPG. Heading into Green Bay, the Seattle offense finds themselves 4th worst in the league, averaging 314.0 YPG. Wilson has been cleared to practice this week and has had no limitations in his reps. With the injury to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith stepped in and salvaged a 1-2 record in three starts.
PACKERS VS SEAHAWKS TV FULL
Seattle, despite a subpar season, had their best outing of the year last week in a 31-7 final over the Jaguars (who may have been a little too full of themselves). It’s been tough sledding for the Seahawks this with a 3-5 record as the NFL season moves past the halfway point.

How the Seahawks got there: NFC's top seed and NFC West champions after a 12-4 record in 2014, the Seahawks defeated the Carolina Panthers in the divisional round of the NFC Playoffs 31-17. Here are all the viewing details for Sunday's NFC Championship game. The Seahawks will pull away, hoist the trophy and move on to Super Bowl XLIX. Green Bay doesn't appear to have the weapons needed to match the depth of Seattle, and we're taking Seattle in this one after a close first half. To top it off, the Packers will have to work through Aaron Rodgers' calf injury, casting doubt over Rodgers' ability to generate enough against a dominant Seahawks defensive unit to win this game. The top-seeded Seahawks will host the Packers in weather conditions that greatly favor the defending champions - and could be a part of the reason they're 7.5 point favorites. In what's already the earliest scheduled game in CenturyLink Field history, it will also have the home-boosting advantage of wind and rain.
