SNF Picks Week 15 Packers vs Seahawks

Geno Smith Under/Over 246.5 Passing Yards (-115 at BetMGM Sportsbook) 

Smith is second in the NFL in passing yards at 267.2 per game—but that didn’t stop him from going under this line in three of his last four and in five of his last seven games. He also wasn’t as efficient at home as he was on the road, completing 67.8 percent of his passes (71.5 percent on the road) and throwing eight touchdowns to 10 interceptions.

The Seahawks leaned into the run far more in recent weeks than they did to start the year. Green Bay’s pass defense is right around league-average, but they too have found success running the ball as of late, which could turn this into a battle for time of possession and give Smith fewer opportunities to hit the over.

Josh Jacobs Over 73.5 Receiving Yards (-115 at BetMGM Sportsbook)

Jacobs is third in rushing yards behind Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry and has gotten a ton of work, having carried the ball at least 18 times in four straight games. He went under this line in each of his last two games, though one of those was understandably against the Detroit Lions’ outstanding front.

Prior to his recent consecutive unders, Jacobs went over this line in five straight games. The Seahawks are only 21st in rushing yards allowed per game (126.5) and 25th in yards allowed per carry (4.7), and Jacobs’ recent success combined with this being a primetime game on a rainy day should lead to him having a strong day.

Jordan Love Under 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (-105 at BetMGM Sportsbook)

Everyone knows Love for having a cannon of an arm, but what many don’t know is that he hasn’t been lighting up the skies for the last couple of months. The 26-year-old only went over this line twice in his last six games despite his team averaging 27.2 points per game during that stretch.

Love also threw six touchdowns to four interceptions and completed just 59.7 percent of his passes across six road games thus far. That combined with Jacobs’ recent dominance on the ground (eight touchdowns in four games) leads us to believe that he will finish under this line.

Tyler Lockett Over 2.5 Receptions (+120 at BetMGM Sportsbook)

The emergence of Jaxon Smith-Njigba and the steadiness of DK Metcalf has caused Lockett to fall way down the pecking order. He did not catch a pass last week and only went over this line twice in his last six games, yet we still have faith in him.

The reality is that Lockett went over this line in six of seven games to start the season, and there is real value on this line. Smith likes to throw the ball a lot, and the Packers are 25th in completions allowed per game (22.5).
