Green Bay Packers (13-3) Vs. Seattle Seahawks (10-6)
Wouldn’t a Super Bowl victory in one, if not the last year, of Packers legend Brett Favre’s career be a dream come true?
Favre already has two Super Bowl rings but has seen the team change around him since those times, the 2007/08 Green Bay team relatively inexperienced in playoff situations.
The gunslinger will be on his game against Seattle’s mediocre defensive backs and should light up the field.
But the underrated Seahawks won’t be pushovers, let’s not forget they did make the Super Bowl just two seasons ago.
Going on to lose to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Super Bowl defeat will have instilled some strength in the players in stepping up to another level of football. Another vital aspect is the core of that team is very much the same as this time around.
If the Pack can keep Seattle running back Shaun Alexander quiet, as he has been all season, the boys from Wisconsin should progress to the NFC Championship game after a home win on hallowed turf at Lambeau Field.
Prediction: Packers
