Makes sense to me.
Green Bay is the #1 seed. You have to respect that.
The Packers also have a top 3 player at by far the most important position in football o(QB), playing some of the best football of his career. Rodgers really should win MVP this year. By contrast, the Rams' QB situation is in complete panic mode due to injuries at the moment.
Our #1 WR (Kupp), #1 RB (Akers), and our best defensive and overall player who is the heart and soul of our defence and arguably the best player in football (Donald) are all gimpy. Hopefully, they can all play. If they can, how effective will they be?
Add a California team having to play in what might be harsh Green Bay winter conditions, and the spread seems more than fair.
I expect the line will move throughout the week, if more information about the injuries to several integral Rams players becomes available.
Our defense is elite. We have a chance to win any game on their backs alone. There are times when GB looks too dependent on Davante Adams - he isn't a burner, so I suspect Ramsey can lock him down, as he has every other elite WR this season. If Wolford can play and starts, teams still will not have tape on him, and the Rams offense has a whole new element with his legs, which often combines to be extremely hard to defend until defenses have time to study him - it's the Tim Teebow / Taysom Hill / Jalen Hurts effect. It is 100% possible we can find a way to beat the Packers. Or any team, for that matter. But make no mistake. We our injuries right now, we're clear underdogs - and even at full health, reasonable minds might prefer the roster of Green Bay or New Orleans to ours.
