You live and die by half points. Yesterday, I died by one. The Titans were a half point away from making yesterday a little better. But hey, check out that Colts game! Tom Savage didn’t look good early on this season and he didn’t look any better yesterday. Two shocks yesterday was how exploited the Broncos defense was and that the Jaguars played so well without Leonard Fournette. Tough one tonight, lets look at it:
| Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers, 8:30p (Packers +2, O/U: 42.5)
Detroit comes into this game with one of the worst yards per play in the league and the Packers have to try and rekindle their offense in the wake of Aaron Rodger’s injury. Brett Hundley had 2 weeks to better understand the offense and get into rhythm with the first team offense. The Lions have had their usual passing game but they haven’t had a 100 yard rusher since Reggie Bush was in town in 2013 and have only one once in Green Bay since 1992 and it came at the hands of Matthew Stafford in 2013. Aaron Jones has been a surprise diamond in the rough find for Green Bay, who has been struggling to find consistency in the backfield for years. I still like Green Bay getting +2 at home against an offense that can’t put the ball in the endzone inside the opponents redzone. This game either puts me at 50% or 58% so it’s important that I dig down deep on this one. Take the Packers to cover in the over, Packers 24-21. |
