SEAHAWKS/PACKERS Over 42.5 - These clubs combined for 48 points when the Packers blew out Seattle 35-13 here back in October, and I feel that they could easily surpass that total in this rematch. The Packers are on a major roll right now, having won 4 straight games and averaging 36.0 points per game during the streak. Favre has inspired the entire offense with the poise and leadership he has displayed since the untimely death of his father, and I expect another huge offensive performance vs. a Seahawks defense that is allowing 30.1 points per game on the road since shutting out Arizona in their road opener. However, Seattle has been fine offensively, averaging 25.3 points per game overall. They should not be bothered all that much by the expected cold weather either, given that Hasselback played here for a few years, and that Holmgren designed many successful offensive game plans on the ?Frozen Tundra.? Seattle showed some character winning a crucial game in a tough environment at San Francisco last week, and I feel that they will put up a noble fight here, scoring enough points for this game to sail Over the total.
