Packers at Seahawks: Odds, Best Bets, Accessories

Thursday's NFL meet between the Green Bay Packers (4-4-1) and the Seattle Seahawks (4-5) is important for both teams trying to stay in the playoff race of the NFC. The loser would probably need to win to have a chance to win a Wild Card position, so the quarterbacks will get a lot of attention as they prepare for this prime time deal.

Russell Wilson and the Seahawks are among the 2.5-point home favorites in the Thursday night football odds against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers in sports betting overseen by OddsShark.com. However, their respective racing games will probably be the key in this one.

Last week, facing the NFC Western Division leaders Los Angeles Rams, Seattle nearly defeated their 36-31 loss by attacking 273 yards in 34 carries and one touchdown. In the end, Wilson had to spend more at the end of the game to try to win it and fail. The Seahawks did a great job in the race.

This week, expect Seattle to use a similar offensive offense, rookie Rashaad Penny scoring at least one touchdown at +262 ($ 100 bet to win $ 262). Penny scored her first touchdown last week and totaled 108 rushing yards in 12 races. Green Bay gave up 120.9 rushing yards per game and nine touchdowns in total.

The Packers also had some success on the field last week in a 31-12 home defeat of the Miami Dolphins.

Half-season halfback Aaron Jones kicked off with 145 yards and two touchdowns, and is ready to score again to score +183. If you think Jones will score twice for the second game in a row, you can get +600 or +2100 on three or more hits. Penny is +1700 to score two or more.

Jimmy Graham, former Seahawks member, is another player to watch. After three somewhat disappointing seasons in Seattle, Graham chose to sign with Green Bay as another offensive weapon for Rodgers. Graham scored +1300 to score the first touchdown with Penny, and both players have solid value at that price.

Like Penny, you can get +262 that Graham will score anytime on Thursday night.
