00:00Talk to me on Packer Seahawks, man. It's a great one here tonight with the Sunday night or a Seattle team who I think changed a

00:06Conversation a little bit with that win over Arizona now

00:10The Rams have won two straight games both as an underdog so it's gonna be a race no matter what but Seattle

00:16It was kind of one of those spots and we joked a little bit on the desk last week Don

00:20I was saying like I like every I like both sides

00:22I like the total I could the game was kind of spinning me around because it part of it was

00:28Well, obviously Arizona's gonna get to get back after they just lost to them in Seattle

00:32I thought that was the most impressive result the Seahawks have put forward in this little run since their bye week now

00:38Is it enough is it impressive enough for you to think they can take out Green Bay?

00:42Yes, I do and I like them tonight here

00:44You talk about a short dog price at home one of the best home field environments in football with a team playing really good football

00:49And also understand this let's take a look and say to ourselves. All right, Seattle. What have you been doing?

00:55Well, it's always gonna be DK Metcalf and Kenneth Walker the third Jackson Smith and jig

00:59We've been really good as of late stepping up to say, you know what?

01:01I can play that Batman Robin type role and also the where's the running game gonna be Zach Charbonneau fantastic the past two weeks three

01:08Combined touchdowns. I do think they have enough juice in the tank and maybe this is the game

01:12We look at you for me from a Packers perspective

01:14We go who those turnovers start to come up now for Jordan love once again

01:17I love the environment love the fact their home dogs and I'm gonna take them tonight in Seattle. They're hot. They're hot

01:23They've won four straight by an average margin of victory of seven and a half points per game

01:27I watched that game play out in Arizona last week very impressed with the offensive defensive lines

01:32Zach Charbonneau a buck 34 on the ground right the big touchdown run you saw the defense get multiple pressures on Kyler Murray

01:40Forcing the interceptions and that'll be the the aspect where if Seattle's gonna cover this two and a half point number

01:45They're gonna have to force turnovers against Jordan love. I think it's a tough ass though

01:49I think Green Bay is more complete back-to-back role games

01:52They did have a sort of a mini by here

01:55But I still believe Green Bay is the more complete offense going on the road look for Josh Jacobs to run the football

02:01But I think it's a breakout performance by Jordan love Kev. I altered them as high as 275 three today

02:08I think it's the passing attack

02:09Let's not forget they put up 31 points without Jaden reading getting involved in terms of that offense last week against Detroit

02:16I think they break you out. I do love the over though 46 and a half 47 to me way too light

02:22I think we can get into the 50s. Yeah, I think it's a very

02:26Tricky game when you try and look at the side of a very banged up secondary for Green Bay and Javon Bullard and enjoy your

02:32Alexander both that will be out for this game, but in all Cal pivot to a Seattle team total potentially there

02:38But Seattle right now where they're starting to change the conversation is what they've been able to do defensively

02:44Since that break right they held the Niners to 17 points on the road, then they kept Arizona to six

02:50Yes

02:50The Jets were able to get to 21

02:52But they shut the Jets down in the second half of that game to pick six by Big Cat Leonard Williams

02:57And then last week even keeping Arizona again on the road to 18 points here, so

03:03It's been impressive to see what they've been able to do both sides of the ball. Let's make this point as well a

03:08Seattle victory they would go to nine and five

03:11Same record that is the Green Bay Packer. Yeah, you look at the pricing so far within the NFC market

03:17We've talked about this a few times, but oh if I'm trying to find value where can I potentially go?

03:21Well the Packers are now eight to one

03:24Seattle is 19 to one

03:27The fact that they would be sent there with the same record the fact that all of a sudden you would start to hear

03:31All the jokes are the hottest team in football. That would be a fifth consecutive win

03:35It's a true perception changer that is on the board for the Seahawks not to mention now

03:41They see that if they lose the game

03:43I think the Rams having beat them head-to-head

03:46Just like that all sudden rip out and find themselves in first place right Seattle

03:50I mean 19 to 1 is good is great value for the NFC because their ability to run the football if they can continue that

03:56With Zach Charbonnet tonight and more importantly throughout the rest of the regular season now you have a recipe, right?

04:03You talk about what McDonald has done from the turnover perspective the defensive front has been very sound against the run

04:09We didn't see James Connor or Trey Benson break off multiple runs to allow Arizona to take the lead, right?

04:15They forced them to play from behind the whole game and then they just closed the noose in terms of the secondary

04:21So they're gonna have to do that tonight because Green Bay does pose a risk in terms of multiple weapons

04:27Arizona still a little inconsistent outside of Trey McBride

04:30We haven't seen Marvin Harrison step up and be that elite wide receiver just yet. There's glimpses just not on a

04:38Consistent basis. We know green break Christian Watson read and we know about Jordan

04:43Love his ability to distribute the football with Josh Jacobs coming out of the backfield to me. That's the difference

04:49You take a look also at the NFC Championship odds there

04:51You do have the Seahawks as Kevin said 19 to 1 the Green Bay Packers 8 to 1

04:54Hey, we might see them in a rematch in the playoffs

04:57You know what's gonna be right back in Seattle

04:58It's probably gonna win that division and we don't think the Green Bay Packers will do that

05:02So it is an interesting price point

05:03Like if you're lining up in a wild-card

05:04Scenario type round and you're gonna get a team at home at 19 to 1 compared to 8 to 1. Yeah, no brainer. Let's go
