Packers vs. Seahawks Predictions For NFL Week 15, Sunday 12/15
If If it felt like these teams would play every year for awhile there, it’s because they did. The schedule formula pits the top teams from each division against eachother within the conference and they met in the playoffs twice in 2015 and 2020. But that was the Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers era. These teams have no met since 2021 so we don’t have a large sample size of the new era.
The Packers have been playing well, winning 7 of their last 9. Unfortunately, both of those losses came to the division leading Detroit Lions, inducing a 34-31 heartbreaker last Thursday. The Seahawks have won four straight including three crucial wins over the Cardinals twice and the 49ers though they did lose their last game to the Rams. That division is still wide open.
Green Bay Packers: Jordan Love Is Spreading The Love
All puns aside, this has been one of the more balanced attacks in the league. The Packers have a wealth of young pass-catching talent after drafting so well. And they have enough assets to keep on rolling even if they have been missing guys like Luke Musgrave and Romeo Doubs at various points. No player on this team is even on pace for 80 targets this season which is crazy for a 9 win team. Josh Jacobs scoring 7 touchdowns over the last 3 games is a big part of that.
On defense the Packers have been solid - especially when getting after the quarterback. They have been without their start cornerback Jaire Alexander with a knee injury for a number of games though. So they haven’t been operating at full capacity and won’t be once again this week.
Seattle Seahawks: Ryan Grubb’s Philosophy
The Seahawks realized they had three great wide receivers. So they ditched Shane Waldron and his multiple tight end sets for an offensive coordinator with more experience in 11 personnel. Which is exactly what Ryan Grubb specialized in at Washington with Rome Odunze, Ja’Lynn Polk, and Jalen McMillan. This new offensive has certainly gotten the best out Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who is currently the WR7 overall in fantasy football.
The Seattle defense has had a couple hickups this year, esepcially against the Lions, 49ers, and Bills. But as of late they have been playing much better. They currently rank 9th in DVOA per FTN Fantasy and the secondary of Riq Woolen, Julian Love, and Koby Bryant deserve a lot of credit for that.

Packers vs. Seahawks: Game Total Over 46 (-110 at BetMGM Sportsbook)
There would be some concern that the Seahawks will be without Kenneth Walker but Zach Charbonnett has been great in the game he’s filled in. He’s actually scored two touchdowns in each of his two starts including a ~50 yard TD last week. With no Jaire Alexander, DK Metcalf and company are poised to do some serious damage as well.
On the flip side, the Seahawks defense have had some rough games when they have faced better offenses. The Lions (42 points) 49ers (36), Bills (31), and Rams (26) were all able to put them to the test. As we mentioned, Josh Jacobs has been running well with 7 touchdowns over his last 3 games. And Romeo Doubs returns this week to join a cast of pass-catchers that is already loaded. I think this game delivers on the excitement and we see this game total go over 46.

Player News
Ryan Ramczyk retired after eight seasons in the NFL.
Ramczyk served as a stalwart member of the Saints’ offensive line from 2017-2023, battling through deteriorating cartilage in his knee. He was sidelined by the issue for the full 2024 season. Ramczyk’s NFL accolades include a spot on the 2017 PFWA All-Rookie Team, two second-team All-Pro nods (2018 and 2020) and one first-team All-Pro (2019) spot.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that Minnesota OT Aireontae Ersery is a player that “teams like a lot more than the media knows.”
Rapoport suggests that Ersery could make his way into the late first round, connecting him with the tackle-needy Chiefs. Ersery performed more consistently as a run-blocker than as a blindside pass protector over the last two seasons, but notably allowed just a 3.0 percent quarterback pressure rate last year, the 10th-lowest among Power Five left tackles with at least 400 pass-protection snaps.
Beat reporter Scott Bair reports that Bears DC Dennis Allen asked slot CB Kyler Gordon to learn a second position, either on the perimeter or at safety.
The Bears’ previous coaching staff spent two seasons trying this experiment before allowing Gordon to blossom in a full-time slot- and box-coverage role last season. Perhaps, Allen can succeed where others have failed. His intent is to “find some more playing time” for Gordon, which is understandable given Gordon’s significant on-field impact last year.
Bills signed CB Tre’Davious White, formerly of the Ravens, to a one-year, $6.8 million contract.
White, now 30 years old, returns to the team that drafted him in the 2017 NFL Draft’s first round. White was a force to be reckoned with early in his career, but a 2021 ACL tear and a 2023 Achilles tendon rupture have reduced his play quality. White will now compete for the Bills’ No. 2 perimeter role.
Bills waived TE Armani Rogers.
This is unfortunate. Rogers recently ruptured his Achilles tendon for the second time in three years. He showed promise as a 2022 rookie, earning a 65.3 PFF receiving grade and a 68.0 PFF run-blocking grade, but the injuries are taking their toll. The Bills also released DT Branson Deen.
Titans waived OT Nicholas Petit-Frere.
The team signed C Sam Mustipher and OT Oli Udoh in corresponding moves. Petit-Frere failed to meet expectations after the Titans spent a third-round pick on him in 2022, allowing 35-plus quarterback pressures in 2-of-3 NFL seasons.
