NFL Week Six Wagering – Green Bay Packers vs. Seattle Seahawks
The Green Bay Packers travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks after reeling from three straight losses. First, it was the Dallas Cowboys. Then, it was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Finally, they just dropped a game versus the Atlanta Falcons last Sunday at home.
Even with a hurt Aaron Rodgers, there are no excuses for Green Bay to lose a game to Atlanta at home. For online football betting fans, it’s a sign that maybe the Packers aren’t going to be one of the best teams in the NFC this season.
BetUS online sportsbook NFL betting fans had better pay attention to this team from here on until the end of the season. Not as a good online bet for but as a good online bet against.
The Seattle Seahawks are just bad. I’ve come to that conclusion after watching this one time playoff stalwart struggle through their first five games of the season. How bad is this team? They are 1 and 3 straight-up and 1 and 3 against the BetUS online wagering spread. The only team they have beaten is the hapless St. Louis Rams. They still have a very good nucleus on offense and the defense isn’t terrible, but, man, they haven’t come close to getting it together.
Here are the BetUS online sportsbook betting odds for this game.
Kick-off: 10/12/2008 4:15 pm
Green Bay Packers + 1 – 110 Ev O 46 ½ – 110
Seattle Seahawks – 1 – 110 – 120 U 46 ½ – 110
Here are a few online wagering trends that might help us find a good online bet in this game.
The Green Bay Packers are 6 and 1 against the spread versus a team with a losing record.
The Green Bay Packers are 16-7-1 against the spread in their last 24 games overall.
The Seattle Seahawks are 7 and 1 against the spread in their last 8 home games.
The Seattle Seahawks are 7 and 2 against the spread in their last 9 games on field turf.
The Seattle Seahawks are 7 and 2 against the spread in their last 9 games on field turf.
This is a key game for both the Packers and the Seahawks. Online betting fans need to understand that as bad as the Seahawks have been this season, they are still a tremendous team at home.
They play in the loudest most raucous stadium in the league. The Packers will be in serious trouble if Aaron Rodgers can’t play. They may be in serious trouble anyhow as the Seahawks are sort of due to play a good game and the Packers are on their heels.
I can’t help but go with the Seahawks in this game. The online wagering spread is only 1 point. The Packers are overall a better team, but the Seahawks are at home and might be playing a Packers’ squad without their starting quarterback.
NFL Week 7 Prediction:
I’ll be making an online wager on the Seahawks to cover the 1 point BetUS online sportsbook betting spread.
