NFL picks: Predictions for Green Bay Packers vs. Seattle Seahawks | Thursday Night Football (11/15/18)



[ad_1]

Week 11 of the 2018 NFL season will feature a marquee Thursday Night Football game on Thursday, November 15, 2018 when the Green Bay Packers take on the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field in Seattle, Washington.

Kickoff is slated for 8:20 p.m. EST. Here’s how you can watch.

The Packers are led by head coach Mike McCarthy, quarterback Aaron Rodgers and running back Aaron Jones. Green Bay is coming off a Week 10 win vs. the Dolphins and enters the game with a 4-4-1 record.

The Seahawks are led by head coach Pete Carroll, quarterback Russell Wilson, and linebacker Bobby Wagner. The Seahawks are coming in off a Week 10 loss to the Rams and enter the game with a 4-5 record.

Here’s how our experts see the game playing out.

Ryan Dunleavy: Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers basically have skated on a free pass for years after only reaching one Super Bowl together. The pressure is finally starting to mount. Seahawks-Packers has produced some memorable playoff games. This will feel like one as NFC Wild Card spots and tiebreakers are up for grabs. Seahawks 27, Packers 24.

Matthew Stypulkoski: Both of these teams have been inconsistent throughout the season, but the Packers are riding high after a comfortable win against the Dolphins, while the Seahawks are dealing with another narrow, heartbreaking loss to the Rams. Momentum favors the Packers. Packers 28, Seahawks 27.

NFL power rankings

Mike Kaye: Two desperate teams here, as the 4-4-1 Packers visit the 4-5 Seahawks for the first time since that infamous NFC Championship Game (and botched onside kick recovery by Brandon Bostick) after the 2014 season. Now, could Packers coach Mike McCarthy be on the hot seat? Packers 35, Seahawks 27.

Joe Giglio: Seattle’s defense will be too much for an uncreative Packers offense to handle on a short week. Seattle will run the ball, control the clock and let Russell Wilson win it late. Seahawks 26, Packers 23.
