Opening line Seahawks -7

[Hawkstorian]

Pretty healthy spread for an NFCCG. Last year it was tighter.

Vegas has been amazingly accurate this season.

Not sure GB has the tools defensively to stop much that Seattle will do. 150 yards rushing is a gimme unless there are turnovers.

In order for GB to win, Rodgers will have to play even better than today, Lacy needs to go for 100, they need to win the turnover battle AND Wilson would have to have a mediocre game.

I could see Russell getting at least 50 yards on the ground.

I would have guessed about 7 points was going to be the spread. Seattle's team is set up to smash passing offense and Green Bay is a lot like Denver and some of these other pass first offenses. I really see Seattle's D keeping the Pack to 10-17 points and Seattle's offense running wild and controlling the clock the majority of the game. My early guess would be 27-14 or 24-10 Seattle. Green Bay just doesn't have the O-line or the defense to push Seattle like Dallas could have.

I figured it would be Seattle by a TD. Wouldn't surprise me if it closes at 8 or 9. I think the line for week 1 was Sea -5.5, so an unhealthy Aaron Rodgers bumps it up about a point and a half.

The spread is 7? I thought that was the amount of sacks?

7 points is basically saying a blow out is very possible.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

It is actually -7.5. Big difference. The difference between 7 and 7.5 is a lot more than say 5 and 5.5. Vegas is expecting a Seahawks rout.

Exactly, they don't expect them to be in this game at the end. That means that even with a garbage score at the last second they still expect the game to close at over a touchdown. If we see this this spread get wider after Green Bay starts practicing you can bet your ass their insider is leaking Rodgers bum leg. If you don't think Vegas has people on the inside of every organization you're nuts. Vegas knows how much better we look than everyone else.

Occasionally, Vegas misses on 'toss up' games. This isn't one of them; the smart money knows who will win this game.

I thought it would be higher than 7 with an automatic 3 points goin to the home team and Rodgers bad leg... I figured 10-14 at least
