One thing that the Packers will have to keep in mind as they navigate the 2021 campaign is the importance of head-to-head tiebreakers. Winning against the right opponents can make all the difference between hosting playoff games and hitting the road for key postseason matchups.

The NFC North is matching up with the NFC West this season, providing several opportunities for Green Bay to secure some of those all-important tiebreakers. One of those opportunities comes at Lambeau Field as the Packers play host to the Seattle Seahawks.

There is a lot of pressure on Seattle to perform this season after star quarterback Russell Wilson publicly hinted that he was unhappy with how the team was being built. It is hard to blame Wilson since the Seahawks faded down the stretch before losing in the Wild Card round to the Los Angeles Rams.

Seattle has given Green Bay issues in the past is more than capable of walking into Lambeau Field to grab an important victory. It’s imperative for the Packers to take care of the Seahawks and avoid ceding the important head-to-head tiebreaker to a tough NFC foe.
