          The final game of Sunday's Week 15 slate features two NFC teams that are in the thick of the playoff hunt. The Green Bay Packers (9-4), led by Jordan Love and Josh Jacobs head to Lumen Field to face Geno Smith, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and the Seattle Seahawks (8-5) on "Sunday Night Football." The Seahawks (+105 to win NFC West) are narrowly holding on to first place in their division by a half a game after the Los Angeles Rams (-105 to win NFC West) defeated the San Francisco 49ers Thursday night. The Seahawks are looking to win the NFC West for the first time since 2020.

          Meanwhile, the Packers look to regain momentum after their three-game win streak came to a halt in Week 14 against the NFC-leading Detroit Lions. Despite suffering two injuries this season. Love has had a solid year leading Green Bay. He has thrown for 2,724 passing yards and 21 touchdowns including 250-plus passing yards in three of his past five games. Jacobs has led the ground attack for the Pack with 1,053 yards and 11 rushing touchdowns on the season. Jacobs has rushed for three touchdowns in two of his past three games.

          Smith-Njigba has been a wonder this year, leading all Seahawks receivers in receiving yards (911). He has managed over 70 receiving yards in each of his past five games including two games with over 100 yards early in November.

          Here's everything you need to know to bet on Packers-Seahawks on "Sunday Night Football" and Andre Snellings favorite pick of the game.

          Andre Snellings' pick:

          Jordan Love 2+ passing touchdowns (-130).

          Love started the season with five straight big games, averaging 270.2 passing yards and three passing touchdowns per game, with at least two touchdown passes in every game. He injured his groin in Week 8 and has faced five of the top seven defenses in the NFL at limiting opposing quarterbacks since. As a result, Love has posted more meager statistical results (235.4 passing yards per game, 1.2 passing TD per game).

          Nevertheless, Love still has two passing touchdowns in two of his last three games and faces his first below-average defense (Seahawks rank 17th against opposing QBs) since October. He has averaged at least 278 passing yards and three passing touchdowns against such defenses this season, with at least two passing touchdowns in each game. I look for Love to throw at least two more touchdowns Sunday, in a game that has shootout potential.
