2. Packers vs. Seahawks
If history has anything to say about Sunday’s meeting between the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks, this NFC battle could come down to the end of the fourth quarter.
After failing to win the NFC West, the Seattle Seahawks earned a second win this season in the City of Brotherly Love after defeating a banged-up Philadelphia Eagles team that had been dealing with all sorts of injuries.
Throughout his career, Russell Wilson has always carried the Seahawks on his shoulders, and if Seattle is going to have any shot at leaving Lambeau with a win, the quarterback will need to be on top of his game once again.
Keep in mind that Aaron Rodgers has been waiting for the Packers to return to the playoffs after a two-year absence, as Green Bay played well enough during the regular season to earn the No. 2 seed in the NFC, and an extra week off from the playoffs.
Some will make the case that Seattle has the advantage since Matt LaFleur is facing extra pressure with this being his first career playoff game as a head coach, but also he does have Rodgers on his side.
These two teams have displayed some classic battles in the playoffs before, and hopefully this turns out to be the case again on Sunday.
