EARLY EDITION!
Let me be perfectly honest. I had totally planned on bumming 12's out with my prediction of a loss this Sunday. After all, it's Lambeau Field. You know, that place that holds some crazy hold on our team? We haven't won there since 1999. "We want the ball and we're gonna score" was wonderful bravado and made for excellent media recycling over the years given the painful outcome.
I've said it before and I will say it again. The 2019 Packers are the worst 13-3 team I have ever seen. Still, we are talking about Aaron Rodgers and Lambeau Field. Neither to take lightly. Yet, here I am am on a rainy Monday, thinking, "You know what? I think the Seahawks have got this." Warts and all. The 2019 Seahawks are an enigma. Perfectly capable of winning any game, and perfectly capable of losing any game.
But somehow, I am choosing the Seahawks to pull this one out of their hat of magic. Why? One, Russell Wilson. Two, these flawed boys, say what you want, are 8-1 on the road this year and there's no other team in the NFL that can say that.
It won't be easy, and will be another heart attack game, but daggum, I have these stupendously weird Seahawks beating the Packers and advancing to the NFC Championship game.
Aros' Fearless Playoff Prediction: Seahawks 23 - Packers 21
Aros' Fearless Playoff Record: 1-0
