GotAction, Inc. Presents NFL Playoff Preview: Green Bay Packers at Seattle Seahawks Breakdown

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was instrumental in his team moving past the Dallas Cowboys last Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field in the NFC Divisional Round, but he did so with an injured calf. Rodgers clearly was limited against the Cowboys and struggled in the season opener in Seattle against the Seahawks.

The Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks will both be gunning for a victory on Sunday when they meet at CenturyLink Field.

Oddsmakers currently have the Seahawks listed as 7½-point favorites versus the Packers, while the game's total is sitting at 47.

Seattle won its last outing, a 31-17 result against the Panthers on January 10. The Seahawks earned a push in that game as a -14-point favorite, while the 48 combined points took the game OVER the total.

Green Bay was a 26-21 winner in its last match at home against the Cowboys. They failed to cover the -5.5-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 47 sent UNDER bettors to the payout window.

What's at Stake?

Well, The Superbowl. I will also say, the packers don't want to be on the wrong side of another one of these west coast rivalries. The SF 49ers had the packers number for the last few years and knocked them out of the playoff's the last two years.

Players to watch:

Key player: It's obvious that Aaron Rodgers is always their key player, but one-legged Aaron Rodgers is really worth watching. Rodgers hurt his left leg against the Saints on Oct. 26. Maybe that lingered, because then went down with what looked like a terrible injury against the Lions in Week 17. He returned after being carted off, played most of the second half and played against Dallas with a severely injured calf. But he played just fine in both of those games. He had 316 yards and three touchdowns against the Cowboys despite having to operate from the shotgun the whole day because he couldn't move too well. He won't be significantly more healthy for this game. The question will be: Can Rodgers on one leg again be effective, this time against the NFL's best defense?

Aaron Rodgers needs to finishes this game. If the Packers offensive line can step up and give Aaron Rodgers an extra one or two seconds in the pocket, he will be able to consistently move the chains.

Offense: Jordy Nelson
Defense: Clay Matthews

 Why those two guy's? Because they were strangely, statistically quiet against the Dallas Cowboys last week. Jordy Nelson had 2 cathes for 22 yards and we expect to see Clay Matthews fired up and give Russell Wilson a run for his money this weekend!


WILDCARD PLAYER TO WATCH:

Offense: EDDY LACEY

This game will be a run the ball, stop the run kind of game and Eddy Lacey could be the star of this game.


PACKERS WIN IF:

They keep Russel Wilson off the field by any means necessary!

This will include utilizing EDDY LACEY in more screen passes over the top, Run the ball up the gut and control the clock.

Packers must force turnovers; Interceptions

If you look back to 2010, The 6th game run to the title...
14 Interceptions.. Nick Collins, Tremon Williams, Sam Shields They turned on INTERCEPTIONS


In order to beat Seattle Capers defense will have start tackling, that is still one of there biggest weaknesses, why?? This is a basic skill that all defensive players should do well, especially at the pro level. The other thing that Seattle depends on is turnovers, if the pack doesn't turnover the ball they stand a good chance. The last thing they must do is to get to Wilson and put him on his butt, he will fumble and throw an interception if they continue to pressure him.. That is how you beat Seattle.. The pack must play sound fundamental football..


ACTION: STAY TUNED

HERE IS WHY GOTACTION, INC. HAS OVER a 65% WINNING PERCENTAGE on our FACEBOOK PAGE. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME AND WATCH THIS.

The Dallas Cowboys’ loss in Sunday’s NFL playoff game is raising accusations that the game was rigged to ensure millions in gambling profits, which can easily dwarf television revenue and ticket sales.

In the fourth quarter of the Cowboys-Packers game, Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant made a huge catch on a fourth-and-2, moving the Cowboys near the goal line, but the referees overturned the play after initially calling it a catch.

Why did the refs overturn the play? Was it to ensure a different outcome of the game? An organization can make untold millions in gambling profits by simply paying off the refs to fix the game with bad calls.

It is also interesting to note it’s not illegal for a league to fix its own games.

Some fans suggested the game isn't rigged because the Cowboys benefited from a bad call when they played the Detroit Lions on Jan. 4, but they don’t realize gambling profits are made not through rabid team loyalty but rather the outcome of a particular game, so it doesn't really matter if the Cowboys win one week and lose the next as far as bets are concerned.

Rex Ryan gets 2nd Bills interview.. GotAction, Inc. Speaks on Rex Ryan coming to Buffalo.. (FULL)

The Buffalo Bills were expected to conduct a second interview Saturday night in Florida with former New York Jets coach Rex Ryan, league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

The Bills were expected to interview former Jets coach Rex Ryan for a second time Saturday night.
Ryan's first interview with the Bills was Thursday. He is the first known candidate that the team has brought back for a second interview.

The Bills already have interviewed 12 candidates for their head-coaching vacancy, which opened last week when Doug Marrone opted out of his contract. Buffalo has also requested initial interviews with two other candidates -- New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton -- who have yet to meet with the team.



Ryan, 52, also has interviewed with the Atlanta Falcons. He also was scheduled to meet with executives this week at CBS about a possible broadcasting job, according to a report from the New York Daily News.

Ryan was fired last month after six seasons with the Jets. He finished with a 46-50 record.
