This will be the rematch of the week 1 meeting that saw the Seahawks won 36-16 in a decisive way but a lot of things changed since that game especially the Packs defense who improved so much that's why i think it will be a closer one.
For GB offensively their success will depend so much on Rodgers health because his ability to scramble out of the pocket will be huge against a defense like the Seattle one who love to put pressure with their front 7 with massive blitzes especially on the interior because if he will able to gain time to pass the ball the pressure coverage outside will be unuseful and down field their WR have a good advantage against the Seahawks CB and counting the fact that SS Chancellor plays always close to the line of scrimmage this will leave them vulnerable to deep passes that Rodgers has been great to do in all this season, another very good way to attack the Seattle's defense will be screens and draws for Lacy, this will make the Seahawks' defense at least be cautious to put pressure on Rodgers with massive blitzes, to do all those stuffs they will need a very well organized o-line that will have to designed who will pick who during the massive blitzes because if not the results will be disastrous.
On defense the Packs will have to put Matthews in MLB position to stop the awesome power of Lynch, stopping Lynch will be the main key for them to win along with keep Wilson in the pocket and make him becoming a pure pocket passer something that against a very good secondary and pass rushing core will not give him so many chances to score and counting even that the Seahawks don't have a go to guy kind of player between their receivers that can make them huge plays to change the game.
Seattle offensively will have to run the ball with both QB and HB because the weakest point of the Packers defense and the running games is the best quality of their offense even due to a very good o-line lead by C Max Unger who will play despite his injury, run the ball with efficiency will open up play action passes that in my opinion is the best and safe way to attack the Packers secondary, they should rely on TE Willson for safe throws inside the numbers in case of 3rd and medium situations.
On defense the Seahawks have to attack the Packs rookie C Linsley and LT Bakhtiari that in my opinion are the weakest part of the entire GB's offense, to do that they will need a very good job by Avril and Bennett (he will play despite the injury), another player who will be under pressure and will be called out for a great game will be FS (center field kind of Safety) Earl Thomas III that will have his hands full with Packers deep routes and this time he wouldn't rely just on his speed but he will need to read the in the best way possible the Rodgers choices because the accuracy of the Packers QB especially on deep passes doesn't give any chances to helps over the top.
My prediction for the final result is: Seahawks 25 Packers 27 with Rodgers as the MVP and Lynch as the x factor who could change the game.
