A critical game is on tap for Sunday Night Football as both the Packers and Seahawks are in the hunt for a playoff spot.
The Packers (9-4) are well-positioned for a playoff berth, but that almost certainly won't come this weekend. They would need a win, a loss or tie by the Atlanta Falcons and a tie between the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers.
Geno Smith's new top target is second-year receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who needs 89 receiving yards for his first career 1,000-yard season.
Smith-Njigba has 75 catches for 911 yards and five touchdowns, while Metcalf, often dealing with double coverage, has 54 catches for 812 yards and two scores.
Seattle's offense also got a boost from the ground game in a 30-18 victory over the Arizona Cardinals last weekend. Zach Charbonnet, filling in for the injured Kenneth Walker III, ran for a career-best 134 yards and two touchdowns.
That win boosted the Seahawks playoff chances. Destiny is currently in their hands but the competition is tough with Green Bay Sunday night and the Vikings waiting in the wings.
The line on this game comes in at -2.5/-3 favoring Green Bay. Sagarin gives us a number of Packers 3.09.
