What are five reasons why the Green Bay Packers will defeat the Seattle Seahawks?

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers were able to come up with a 26-21 victory over the Dallas Cowboys in the divisional round of the NFC playoffs.

Green Bay was worried about his strained calf that had a small tear in it all week long, but he put up big numbers in the win. Next up, they will have to travel to Seattle to take on the top-seeded Seahawks with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. Dallas was a tough opponent, but Seattle is going to be much more difficult to beat.

Seattle is favored to win the game by the majority of fans and analysts, but Green Bay believes that they can get the job done. They are a much better team than the version of the Packers that lost to the Seahawks 36-16 in Week 1.

Assuming Rodgers can stay healthy and the defense continues playing like it has been, the Packers have a legitimate chance to knock off the defending champions. It’s never easy to predict a game between two teams as talented as the Packers and Seahawks, but there are five reasons that Green Bay will end up pulling off a shocking victory.
