The Seattle Seahawks will host the NFC Championship Game for the second year in a row. This time, it will be a rematch of Week 1 when Seattle defeated the Green Bay Packers 31-16. That game was a long time ago as both teams have adapted over the course of the 2014 season. It will be a close contest loaded with exciting moments. Here’s a look at five bold predictions of Packers vs. Seahawks in the NFC title game.

The Packers led the league in scoring with 30.4 points per game during the regular season. Although the Seahawks’ 24.6 points per contest is up there, it is actually their scoring defense that’s impressive. Seattle only allowed a league-best 15.9 points per game. Still, I believe the NFC Championship will be a high-scoring affair. Since both teams can move the ball with ease, don’t be surprised if the final score is in the high-20s or low-30s.

It may not seem like a bold prediction on the surface because the Seahawks rushed for 207 yards against the Packers in Week 1. Plus, Seattle averaged 172.6 yards on the ground in the regular season. Still, Green Bay has improved in run defense as the season went on. In fact, they kept league-leader DeMarco Murray to 123 rushing yards. With that said, Marshawn Lynch and Russell Wilson are beasts, so don’t be surprised if they clear 200 yards.

Davante Adams has had two huge games in his rookie season, both of which came in big moments against talented teams. With Seattle’s secondary focusing on Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb, rightfully so, Adams will have another opportunity to have a huge game. It will be up to him to make the most of it, especially since he will have plenty of chances to take advantage of the situation that will be presented before him.

Green Bay’s no-huddle offense has gashed opponents this season. Anyone who watched the NFL divisional round between the Packers and Cowboys knows that. Rodgers will continue to utilize a no-huddle offense that will be loaded with shotgun and pistol packages to keep Seattle’s defense uneven. The Seahawks are conditioned to withstand anything, but it will be interesting to see how they handle being tired while trying to tackle Eddie Lacy.

Possibly the boldest prediction of them all is the Packers will win. Playing at CenturyLink Field, Rodgers only at about 70 percent and a defense that has been prone to giving up big runs has all the makings of a disaster. However, Green Bay is loaded with weapons at key positions on both sides of the ball. They’re experienced, which means they know what it takes to win the big game. Rodgers will give them every opportunity to emerge victorious.
