Cris Carter's Six Points

Chris Carter breaks down the matchup.
Seahawks Category Packers Reason
Offense checked Given their ability to stretch you out at wide receiver, plus the emergence of Ryan Grant, the Packers have plenty of options.
checked Defense The Seahawks know how to sack the QB and cause turnovers – great strengths when facing Brett Favre.
Special teams checked All season long, the Packers have put guys on the field who make plays on both returns and on coverage.
checked Coaching Mike Holmgren has lost his last three visits to Lambeau, but he's learned a lot from the previous trips.
Intangibles checked The health of Green Bay's secondary, specifically the status of CB Charles Woodson, is vital against the pass-heavy 'Hawks.
checked Wild card The Seahawks need Shaun Alexander to help take some of the pressure off of Matt Hasselbeck.

Cris Carter says: Packers

I see this being a very close game, but Green Bay's offense will force the Seahawks into some very difficult decisions.
