These teams played back in week five of the regular season and Green Bay whooped Seattle by a score of 35-13. The Seahawks have gotten little better on the road this season and ended only 2-6 as the visitor on the season. Their two wins were their first road game to Arizona and their final road game to San Francisco.

The Packers were 5-3 at home but the losses were week one to the Vikings, then to the Chiefs and Eagles.

This replay of week five has the Packers back at home where they have played well and more importantly, finished the season with a four game winning streak. The Seahawks were a terrible road team this season and the final win against the 49ers was a slight surprise even though Terrell Owens was gone and San Francisco had little to play for other than pride.

The Green Bay had a solid, consistent effort back in week five that saw Ahman Green rush for 118 yards on 27 carries and score two touchdowns while Tony Fisher and William Henderson both scored as well. Brett Favre only had 185 yards passing in the game and scored on passes to Driver and Henderson.

The most favorable aspect for the Packers is that they are playing very well in the last month though against only CHI, SD, OAK and DEN (who rested their players). But there is an undeniable momentum that they have built to end the season and back at home against the Seahawks, the Lambeau luck should prove enough to win this game.

Favre has been on fire throwing the ball in the last few games and the Seahawks secondary has allowed big games to wideouts in the final six weeks of the season. Seattle has been decent against the run, but in the cold of Wisconsin, the run will happen anyway. When it does not succeed, Favre has crafted a nice set of receivers from not only the ranks of the wideouts.

Look for Favre to play well but in game with subfreezing temperatures, the run will be more important. Favre could throw a couple of touchdowns but his yardage is not likely to be as astronomical as he has done lately.

The Seahawks on the road have been a far different team than the home version and the win last week gives them some hope they are getting over the hump. In their prior meeting, Matt Hasselbeck threw for 225 yards but never scored and had an interception. Shaun Alexander ran for 102 yards on only 20 carries and had one touchdown.

That 100 yard mark would be the high end for Alexander based on previous numbers for him and against the Packers and Hasselbeck will more likely not throw for more than one score since opponents there only did so twice and never since week six of the season. That 102 yard effort by Alexander was the best by any opponent in Green Bay - hard to believe that he can top what already is the most gained on Green Bay.

That previous game score is a good indicator but not an exact roadmap. Seattle will play better and the Packers great final run have all come against bad opponents. But in the final analysis - Seattle on the road and Packers at home with a motivated Favre and a healthy team equals the Packers advance.
