This Saturday’s NFC Divisional Playoffs pick depends on one man playing or not, the master himself, Brett Farve. The Greenbay Packers official website states him as probable, hopefully he will start.

The Seattle Seahawks look to have Alexander and Hasslebeck back for Saturday(off serious injury), just another reason to take a shot with the Packers for Saturday. Last week the Seahawks lost to the 49er’s. I don’t believe that the Seahawks are anywhere near as good as the odds suggest, their defense has been ordinary and their 2 most potent attacking threats have both just returned from long term injuries. True the Seahawks have a great record at home, but I see this Seahawks team as struggling at the moment, defintely not 2008 superbowl material.

The Packers seem to be doing their best on the road this season. They are 2nd in the league on the road for passing and 14th in rushing. Farve and the Packers have won the last 3 matches against the Seahawks and are 4-1 against them in their last 5 overall, 4 of those games were at Green Bay though and the only loss came at Seattle. Farve is quite good at playing well against teams he regularly wins against and his record against Seattle is very, very good.

I really like Farve and he is playing with such enthusiasm that he could do the job this Saturday in the NFC Divisional Playoffs. He is a must start player for Saturday. Farve is a far better motivated player for the Packers than Hasslebeck is for the Seahawks.

This Saturday the bet is on the Green Bay Packers -8 !!
