2. Seattle Seahawks at Green Bay Packers – Week 2, SNF

We’re all still in disbelief…how did Green Bay lose that game? That was an awesome game to watch, though. Hopefully this rematch will be even better. Green Bay didn’t lose a home game last year, and neither did Seattle – but this time, the Packers will be at home. Aaron Rodgers should be fully healthy and both teams should be at full strength. Not much has changed for either team since the Seahawks’ Super Bowl loss. Both teams’ core players are still on their respective rosters.

Turnovers were an issue for Russell Wilson against the Packers’ defense, but that should change this time around. With that said, I’ll still take Green Bay to beat Seattle. The Packers don’t lose at home and Seattle is just above a .500 road team. The Packers’ depth at receiver could give Seattle’s secondary some issues as it did in the playoffs. On that premise, I’ll pick the Packers to win.
