New York Giants at Seattle Seahawks

I was THIS close to picking the Giants to upset the Seahawks, but in the end I had to stick with the defending Super Bowl champs. The Seahawks are rated #1 against the run so it could be hard to move the ball via the ground attack. If Eli doesn’t have a balanced attack then Seattle should be able to get after him and force a turnover or two. I think Eli keeps them close, but Seattle pulls out the win.

Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers

Saying there is some history between theses two teams would be an understatement. While they’ve played numerous times, the most recent history (earlier this season) was in Green Bay’s favor. Before their bye week the Bears were playing poorly and now they have to face one of the best QBs in all of the NFL. I’m not picking against the Bears as much as I am picking for Aaron Rodgers in this one (although the suspect Chicago pass defense makes this pick all the easier).
