Green Bay Packers: Well rested after bashing the Bears

Coming off a lack luster Week 1 performance, a 30-22 season and home opening loss to the San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay rebounded in Week 2 as they crushed Chicago 23-10. Now they head out on the road for the first time this season and into one of the toughest stadiums in the NFL.

These teams have not meant since Green Bay steamrolled the Seahawks 48-10 at Lambaeu Field in Week 16 back in 2009. The Packers last trip to Seattle was a 27-17 win during Week 6 in 2008. It’s difficult to call a blowout but; QB Aaron Rodgers is set to go off on someone – soon.

Seattle Seahawks: Flying right after NFL Week 1 loss in Arizona

Seattle was in the dessert in Week 1 and dropped a 2016 decision to the angry birds of Arizona. That loss doesn’t look so bad now that the Cardinals are 3-0 after crushing the Eagles on Sunday. Week 2 was a different story as the Seahawks returned home to shake and bake the Cowboys.

In a 27-7 victory, Seattle ran roughshod over Dallas as they racked up 182 rushing yards while limiting the ‘Boys to just 49 rush yards. The SeaBirds are tough in their home nest but rookie QB Russell Wilson will have his hands full with Clay Mathews and the rest of Packers pass rush.
