[QUOTE="TJV, post: 560673, member: 4300"] Home teams usually get a 3 point advantage in the spread and Seattle's home field advantage is as good as there is in the league. The Seahawks are coming off a complete dismantling of the best team on offense last season in the Super Bowl. This game will be a huge test for the Packers OL, including an OC who will be making his first snap in an NFL game. IMO from all but a Packers fan’s point of view, the spread is reasonable. This is an interesting post particularly from the perspective of which team currently holds the title. Let’s see if the numbers dictate more plays equal more yards and more TDs. Last year in the regular season that was true for one team, the Broncos who finished first in plays, yards, and scoring. But the team with the title finished 29th in offensive plays from scrimmage and tied the Packers for 8th in points and won the same number of regular season games as the Broncos. The Packers finished 11th in offensive plays from scrimmage but gained more yards than every team running more plays except the Broncos. The Eagles finished 13th in plays but gained more yards than every team running more plays (including the Packers) except the Broncos. The Eagles finished 4th in points scored. If any season emphasized the importance of defense, it was last season. The Broncos were a fantastic example of the wide open offense you’re advocating and their offense was dominated and embarrassed by the Seahawk’s defense. [/QUOTE]
