3. Week 11 at Seattle Seahawks

Outside of the game against the Dolphins, this might be the second most winnable game during this tough stretch. That’s only because Seattle is supposed to have a down year and has nothing to do with the still incredibly hostile CenturyLink Field.

It will also be Jimmy Graham’s reunion tour and he’ll hope to prove to Seattle what they lost and how they misused him during his time there. Hopefully, he and Rodgers can really make them pay and find Graham in the end zone a couple of times.

Also, not that we needed more complicating factors then playing at Seattle during this tough stretch, but it’s also coming on a short week. On Nov. 11, the Packers are playing the Dolphins in Green Bay and have to turn around and get ready to play the Seahawks across the country in Seattle on Nov. 15.

We’ve all seen how difficult these short turnaround games can be and anything can truly happen. That’s why the Packers must be ready and get a victory to kick off a late-season playoff push.
