I want a win, for sure....... but seattle is notorious for getting away with mugging WR's and getting A LOT of favorable calls in their house. If anything, I want Nelson to shut richard sherman the hell up. I want sherman burned by nelson on TWO long TD passes.
Some will call it home-field bias, others will call it physical defense. The truth is somewhere in-betw....hell no! It's frickin' mugging that's what it is, and it should be called!!!!
On a more sober note. If you go into the house of most any top team in this league, expect more calls to go their way. If Seattle wants to be physical on defense (including the holds and muggings) at home, then they'll get away with it. Players in the NFL are told to expect this constantly (so I hear). And since they're the defending SB champs, the refs will probably let it happen even more.
It will be very tough to win this one for the Pack. WRs
are going to get mugged, so the running game has got to be effective and the OL have to come to play. Hard for me to pick GB for one other reason: This year's defense will probably be better with pass rush and pass defense, but against the run this defense is a big "if". Marshawn Lynch ran over the opposing defenses in the playoffs. That will be hard for GB to stop.
But the Packers most definitely have a chance there.
