Tonight's game:
POINTS TO KEEP IN MIND IF YOU LIKE SEATTLE
1. Matt Hasselbeck is back at QB.
2. Seattle is 21-4 at home when Hasselbeck starts since 2003.
3. The Seahawks are No. 2 in defensive sacks this season.
4. Green Bay has now been shut out twice this season.
5. Green Bay gives up 24 points a game on the road.
6. The Packers were held to 120 total yards last week.
7. Seattle has shut out five teams on MNF.
8. Green Bay is the 31st-ranked pass defense in the NFL.
9. Deion Branch and Darrell Jackson have 44 receptions and six touchdowns in the last five games.
10. Green Bay is 1-4 in its last five MNF games.
POINTS TO KEEP IN MIND IF YOU LIKE GREEN BAY
1. Brett Favre is healthy and second all time to Dan Marino on MNF .
2. Matt Hasselbeck is 0-3 versus the Packers with zero touchdown passes.
3. Green Bay is No. 4 in defensive sacks and the Seahawks are No. 28 giving up sacks.
4. Seattle has now gone seven games without a rushing touchdown.
5. Last year, Green Bay beat Seattle and held Shaun Alexander to 73 yards.
6. Shaun Alexander has a 2.7 yards per carry rushing average.
7. Seattle has given up 19 sacks and fumbled 10 times in the last five games.
8. Favre has only thrown two interceptions in his last 164 passes.
9. KGB (Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila) has 15½ sacks in 15 MNF games.
10. Last week, San Francisco running back Frank Gore had 212 yards versus Seattle.
CONCLUSION
It's hard to believe Hasselbeck has never beaten his old team and never thrown a touchdown pass in three starts against Green Bay. The Packers have already given up 18 touchdown passes this season, and it seems probable that Branch and Jackson -- who already have 12 scores between them -- will break the ice for Hasselbeck. Alexander will run well enough to keep a safety down in the box most of the night, and the Seattle pass rush will disrupt Favre just enough to give them a home win. If the Seahawks don't shore up their tackling and pass blocking, then Seattle will slip to 6-5 and find its playoff hopes in jeopardy. I think Holmgren will have his team ready to start their playoff push tonight and win a close game against his old team.
