NFL Preseason Week 2: Packers at Seahawks Odds - 10:05pm EST
Two teams with plenty of work to do in the NFL preseason will meet in Seattle as the new-look Seahawks will host the Green Bay Packers, one of the NFL betting favorites at online sportsbooks to win the NFC conference. Kick-off on Saturday night is set for 10:05pm EST and online sportsbooks have opened with the Seattle Seahawks -1.5 favorites vs the Packers with an over/under NFL preseason betting total set at 39 while 2011 Super Bowl odds have the Seahawks 60-1 longshots and Packers 10-1 favorites. Seattle won a thrilling preseason opener last week in their debut of new head coach Pete Carroll as they defeated the Tennessee Titans 20-18 although they failed to cover the spread in NFL preseason odds as 3.5-point home favorites as the game snuck over 35.
Green Bay lost at home to the Cleveland Browns 24-27 as their defense was not able to hold a late lead and was exposed early by Cleveland's first unit, much to the irritation of head coach Mike McCarthy. Green Bay failed to cover as 3-point favorites in NFL odds and the game went over the betting preseason total of 34. Green Bay's defense showed marked improvement last year under new coordinator Dom Capers and was a big reason for them making the playoffs but that defense was lit up for 51 points in a playoff loss at Arizona last year and remains a cause for concern.
The Packers are working in new talent this preseason in order to give valuable experience to the young players prior to the regular season. "We're going to have to depend on some of our young guys," said Capers heading into week 2. "I think you learn a lot going against other teams. They have to learn in the fire." Carroll was the star of the opening game for Seattle with his fist pumping enthusiasm and his high-fiving the national anthem singer. New 2nd string quarterback Charlie Whitehurst was impressive in the opener as well with 214 yards in the air. Carroll brought in Whitehurst to push veteran starter Matt Hasselbeck and will give him plenty of reps against the Pack.
