Here are R.J. White's best bets for Packers vs. Seahawks on Sunday:
- Packers -1.5 first half (-120)
- Packers -3
- Seahawks team total Under 17.5 (-130)
Packers -1.5 1H spread (-120)
White's top pick for this contest is Packers -1.5 on the first-half spread. Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Green Bay healthy starters will play, but of course, that doesn't include Love, who had thumb surgery after an injury suffered in the preseason opener. Love is expected to be healthy for Week 1, though. Malik Willis will likely start at quarterback surrounded by the first team offense, while the Seahawks are expected to rest their starters.
"If this was the regular season, the Packers would assuredly be bigger favorites in this game and in the first half, so the fact that we're likely looking at an even bigger talent disparity in the first half makes this a strong play for me," White told SportsLine. "Malik Willis has plenty of experience running the offense and played well while filling in for Jordan Love last year, though he hasn't been as effective in the preseason. He should fare better against Seattle's second unit, while I expect Jalen Milroe, who is set to feature for the entire game for Seattle, to struggle early against the Packers' better players."

Packers -3
White leans toward the Packers still covering for the game, but he's especially confident when Willis is on the field. The Packers could build an early enough lead in the first half to hold onto after going deeper into their depth chart later on.
"I would still lean to the Packers on the full-game spread, but I'm less confident in their backups than I am in Milroe," White said. "That being said, Seattle's success last week against the Chiefs came largely with Drew Lock on the field, and since we're getting Milroe the entire way, there's a strong possibility the Seahawks are unable to backdoor a cover if the Packers build up a first-half lead." The Packers are 3-point favorites at BetMGM, and the latest BetMGM promo code gives new users up to $1,500 back in bonus bets if your first bet loses.
Seahawks Team Total Under 17.5 points (-130)
Milroe has completed 9 of 15 passes for 107 yards this preseason heading into a matchup where he'll play the entire game. Seattle scored just three points in Milroe's three drives last week, despite Seattle scoring 33 points. The other 30 points came off drives led by Sam Darnold and Drew Lock, or through defensive and special teams scores. White doesn't have faith in Milroe leading Seattle to enough points with reserves as a rookie in his first preseason.
"If forced to take a full-game total play, I'd probably lean slightly to Over 37 based on the first two preseason games for each team," White said. "But then I look at Milroe starting the entire game for the Seahawks without the normal starting lineup to support him and believe they'll struggle to top 17 points. That means I should probably be looking Under 37.5 (-115) on the full-game line if anything, but I see this as the stronger total play, even having to pay the -130."
