The New York Giants (3-1) play the Green Bay Packers (3-1) at 9:30 a.m. ET Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London (NFL Network). Green Bay is the designated home team. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Giants vs. Packers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Giants QB Daniel Jones, who suffered an ankle sprain in last week’s 20-12 home win vs. the Chicago Bears, is expected to play Sunday. QB Davis Webb will be elevated from the practice squad since backup QB Tyrod Taylor suffered a concussion after replacing Jones vs. Chicago.

New York is 1-8 against the spread (ATS) after allowing less than 15 points in its previous 9 games.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers threw 2 TDs in the 2nd half and led a drive to set up the game-winning FG in a 27-24 OT home win vs. the New England Patriots last Sunday. Rodgers started slow vs. the Patriots, throwing for 44 yards and 1 INT on 4-for-11 passing in the 1st half.

Green Bay is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 October games.

Giants vs. Packers picks and predictions

Prediction

Packers 27, Giants 10

Moneyline

PASS.

The Green Bay ML (-400) is too high of a number. Look to the spread and the total for better opportunities.

Against the spread

BET PACKERS -7.5 (-112).

This number seems high at first for a neutral site, but the Giants have a lot of key injuries, including a QB Jones who likely isn’t 100% after injuring his ankle a week ago.

Green Bay has started slow this season, but I expect the offense to start clicking this week after an embarrassing outing vs. New England. Lay the points as Rodgers is ready to start airing it out.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 40.5 (-103).

Multiple trends point toward taking the Under in this matchup. The Under is 12-3-1 in New York’s last 16 games after covering the spread in its previous game and 4-0 in Green Bay’s last 4 games vs. NFC teams.

The Under should hit Sunday as New York will struggle to put up points with all of its injuries.

Analyzing Sunday’s New England Patriots at Green Bay Packers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The New England Patriots (1-2) are on the road in Week 4 for a matchup against the Green Bay Packers (2-1). Kickoff is Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET at Lambeau Field (CBS) Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Patriots vs. Packers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Patriots struggled offensively for the first 2 weeks of the season, scoring a combined 24 points.

He threw 3 interceptions in the loss.

The Packers have won 2 games in a row after a season-opening 23-7 loss to the Vikings. QB Aaron Rodgers has thrown 2 touchdown passes in each of the last 2 weeks. Green Bay’s defense limited the Buccaneers to 285 total yards and kept them from scoring a game-tying 2-point conversion after they scored a touchdown with 14 seconds remaining in the Packers’ 14-12 win.

Patriots at Packers picks and predictions

Prediction

Packers 24, Patriots 13

Moneyline

The Patriots are starting an aging backup quarterback in Brian Hoyer on the road in Green Bay against one of the best quarterbacks in the league in Rodgers.

The Patriots have already had offensive struggles before losing Jones to injury and now face a defense that has allowed a total of 19 points over the last 2 games.

The Packers are overwhelming favorites, but the cost just isn’t worth the action here. PASS.

Against the spread

The Patriots have not yet covered the spread this season. The Packers are 2-1 ATS.

Even with Jones playing most of the game, the Pats still lost by 11 points last week.

The Packers were a league-best 7-2 ATS at home last season.

Baltimore put up 37 on New England last week. Green Bay should be able to get to the mid-20s, and with a limited offense to begin with being led by a 36-year-old Hoyer, the Pats aren’t going to score much.

Take the PACKERS -9.5 (-108).

Over/Under

The Packers have yet to have a game reach 40 total points. Their 3-week totals have been 30, 37 and 26.

The Patriots’ 3 games this season have had totals of 27, 31 and 63.

Could this game get out of hand with the Packers getting into the 30s? Yes, but what is more likely is they control the game early, get a lead and then lean on the running game to slow the game in the second half.

Take UNDER 40.5 (-120).

Green Bay Packers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Green Bay Packers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Green Bay Packers (1-1) are headed south on Sunday to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-0) in a battle of 2 future Hall of Fame quarterbacks. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX).

Packers at Buccaneers picks and predictions

Prediction

Buccaneers 24, Packers 14

Money line

Lean BUCCANEERS (-117). Brady and the Bucs will able to move the ball on a weak Packers defense. Fournette will be able to find holes and open up opportunities for Brady to sit back in the pocket and find his open receivers. Their defense will continue to do what the do best and force turnovers which will give Tampa Bay the edge.

Against the spread

BUCCANEERS -1.5 (-108). The Tampa Bay offense will prove to be too much for the Packers defense and the Bucs defense will be able to contain Rodgers and his receivers, who he is finding difficulty creating chemistry with.

Over/Under

UNDER 42.5 (-112). Although it sounds crazy to bet the Under in a Rodgers vs. Brady matchup, both teams have shown run-heavy trends early on this season. Expect Jones, Dillion, and Fournette to receive a lot of the weight for each offense which will keep the clock moving.

Bears at Packers picks and predictions

Prediction

Packers 29, Bears 10

Money line

PASS on the money line.

The Packers have beaten the Bears 6 straight times and in 11 of the last 12 meetings. Rodgers is 22-5 in his career against the Bears.

The Bears have not won in Green Bay since 2015.

But at -500 odds, there is no reason to bet the money line. PASS.

Against the spread

The Packers were blown out on the road in Week 1 in 2021, but followed that up with an 18-point win over a division rival in Week 2 at home.

The stage is set again.

The Packers have beaten the Bears by at least 10 points 4 straight times. They had 7 wins of at least 10 points last season.

Take the PACKERS -9.5 (-115).

Over/Under

Both teams saw their Week 1 games stay Under their projected totals. The Bears and 49ers combined for 29 points, while the Packers and Vikings combined for 30 points.

The Bears were 7-10 O/U last season and the Packers were 8-10 O/U.

In their 2 matchups last season, one game had 38 points as the total and the other was 75.

Expect the Chicago offense to struggle and the Packers offense to have an easy time, although with an early lead, they will be able to run the ball a lot in the 2nd half.

Take UNDER 41.5 (-108).

Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings Week 1 odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Green Bay Packers look to continue their stranglehold on the NFC North as they open the season on the road against the only division rival that can claim memorable victories against them when they meet the Minnesota Vikings Sunday. Kickoff at US Bank Stadium is at 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Packers vs. Vikings odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Packers have run roughshod over the lesser teams of the NFC North for the better part of 2 decades. The lone exception has been the Vikings. Minnesota always gives the Packers a fight and takes away their fair share of wins. The teams split 2 games last season and the all-time series is 55-55-3.

The Packers are the slightest of favorites (1.5 points), but there is a good reason why. The Packers offensive line is dinged already and one has to question who QB Aaron Rodgers will recognize among his receiver corps … much less in the deafening din of the House of Skol that will make audibles almost impossible.

The Vikings are coming in with a veteran-laden team with Pro Bowl talent on both sides of the ball rejuvenated by the arrival of new coach Kevin O’Connell. Enthusiasm is 1 thing, but what hasn’t been talked about is that, for first time in the 62-year history of the franchise, the Vikings are going to be operating a 3-4 defense that Rodgers has never equated with the Vikings personnel.

Vikings at Packers picks and predictions

Prediction

Vikings 27, Packers 24

Money line

TAKE THE VIKINGS (-105).

The big headline has been that Rodgers is without WR Davante Adams, who was traded to Las Vegas shortly after Rodgers agreed to $50 million a year. The veteran QB is also without WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling (Kansas City) and, to a lesser extent, Equanimeous “Buy a Vowel” St. Brown (Chicago). Those were guys Rodgers worked with for years. Add in Lazard missing reps with an ankle injury, and the familiarity Rodgers has his with his wideout crew will be somewhat off.

In most instances, when an organization fires a head coach and general manager, it equates to a roster implosion. That’s not the case in Minnesota. The implosion is coming, especially on defense, but it isn’t here yet. Anybody resembling a starter was given the preseason off to work on implementing new schemes. These guys all know each other as remnants of the Rick Spielman/Mike Zimmer toxic relationship.

Will it hold up for an entire season? Probably not. But for 1 game with Rodgers as vulnerable as he’s been in a long time with his backup band? Yup.

Against the spread

HARD PASS

Why lay a half point at -105 when we can get the money line at -105?

Over/Under

OVER 46.5 (-110)

One of Rodgers’ greatest skills is locating a defender who shouldn’t be on the field and targeting that guy over and over again — veteran QB waterboarding. The Vikings have a couple of those guys. Although his receivers are either raw or on the very (very) backsides of their careers, Rodgers can throw enough 7-yard darts on 3rd-and-6 to put points up.

The Vikings are going to keep throwing and try to press the issue, which leads to each team having a couple of more offensive series than in a typical game. Both teams will go for the throat if they’re ahead and don’t care about the clock.

That’s a sweet recipe to hit the Over because, while the prediction is cautious, 1 of these teams is likely to score 30 or more. Doesn’t take much to hit 46.5 if that happens.

Green Bay Packers at Kansas City Chiefs odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Thursday’s Green Bay Packers at Kansas City Chiefs odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Green Bay Packers (1-1) and Kansas City Chiefs (1-1) wrap up their preseason schedule Thursday. Kickoff from GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (NFL Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Packers vs. Chiefs odds, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Packers picked up the 20-10 win over the New Orleans Saints in their lone preseason game at Lambeau Field last weekend.

Packers QB Jordan Love started and completed 12-of-24 passes for 113 yards, 1 TD and 0 INT, and he should see extensive action in this one, too.

The Chiefs rebounded from a Week 1 loss in Chicago to topple the Washington Commanders 24-14 last weekend at home.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes was sharp against Washington, completing 12-of-19 passes for 162 yards, 2 TD and 0 INT, playing a surprising amount for the preseason. Coach Andy Reid indicated this week that Mahomes might play little, or not at all, against the Packers.

Packers at Chiefs picks and predictions

Prediction

Packers 23, Chiefs 16

Money line

The PACKERS (-115) are worth a look in the preseason finale, as Love is likely to see a lion’s share of the offensive snaps with QB Aaron Rodgers likely to sit yet again. Toss in the fact Mahomes is likely to sit for the Chiefs (+100), and the visitors look like quite the play.

Against the spread

The PACKERS -1.5 (-105) will save you a little bit of juice, and is a better value than the money line play unless you are hellbent on this game being decided by just 1 point.

Over/Under

The OVER 35.5 (-112) is the lean here.

Even without Rodgers under center, the Packers offense has been fairly efficient in 2 preseason games, averaging 20.5 PPG.

The Chiefs have hit the Under in each preseason game, and that’s with Mahomes playing a considerable amount of snaps. There is concern here, but the reserves should push this one Over late.

New Orleans Saints at Green Bay Packers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s New Orleans Saints at Green Bay Packers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Green Bay Packers (0-1) will welcome the New Orleans Saints (0-1) to Lambeau Field Friday. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Saints vs. Packers odds, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Packers come into thr game after a 28-21 loss to San Francisco in Week 1. Jordan Love played the majority of the game, throwing 24 passes and completing 13 for 176 yards, 2 touchdowns and 3 interceptions.

Reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers recently criticized his young receiving corps, which is drastically different from last season following the trade of superstar WR Devante Adams. Whether Rogers plays Friday is unknown.

As for the Saints, they were without their starting QB Jameis Winston down the stretch last season and eventually missed the playoffs. Winston didn’t play in the preseason opener.

Fourth-round draft pick Ian Book was the main option, going 15-for-22 for 121 yards and an interception. Veteran backup QB Andy Dalton went 5-for-5 for 51 yards and a touchdown in the team’s 17-13 loss to Houston.

Over/Under (O/U): 39.5 (O: -105 | U: -115)

Saints at Packers picks and predictions

Prediction

Saints 24, Packers 20

Money line

LEAN SAINTS (+130).

If Rodgers does play, I don’t expect him to get multiple series. This should be the Jordan Love preseason show, and he wasn’t impressive in their opening game.

Meanwhile, Green Bay’s defense allowed every 49ers quarterback to score a touchdown. The Saints are going to have a more aggressive trio of quarterbacks with Dalton as the top backup.

New Orleans also had a much better defensive showing, holding Houston to 17 as opposed to Green Bay, which allowed 28.

Neither team had their starting running back play either with the Packers resting both RB Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. With New Orleans backup skill players better, I’ll take them at plus-money value.

Against the spread

PASS.

If you feel more comfortable with the points then fine, but the value is on the money line here.

Over/Under

BET OVER 39.5 (-105).

Week 1 for New Orleans was the Ian Book show. I expect Dalton and Winston to get some action in this game as we inch closer to the regular season. Both should have a good command over the offense.

As for Green Bay, Love was a wild card and had 2 TDs. His 3 interceptions also set up the 49ers well in a few possessions, and he’ll be playing a talented secondary again.

Put it all together, and I like the Over 39.5 (-105) here.

The Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers meet in their preseason opener Friday. Kickoff from Levi’s Stadium for 8:30 p.m. ET (NFL Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Packers vs. 49ers odds, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Packers will have their starting offensive line in action Friday, although MVP QB Aaron Rodgers will not play. Backup QB Jordan Love is expected to draw the start and will likely play plenty.

The 49ers might potentially start QB Nate Sudfeld, with former Iowa State product QB Brock Purdy as the backup. If new starter QB Trey Lance does play, it likely will be a cameo, and the team is unlikely to use QB Jimmy Garoppolo and risk a potential injury that would crush his possible trade value. WR/RB Deebo Samuel is also unlikely to suit up.

Packers at 49ers picks and predictions

Prediction

Packers 19, 49ers 13

Money line

The PACKERS (+115) are a value play on the road in their opener, as Love is a talented player who should be able to run the offense well in his time on the field. The 49ers are likely to have plenty of star players on the offensive side of the football resting, while the Pack will have most starters going.

Against the spread

The PACKERS +2.5 (+100) are an okay play at even-money, although my preference would be playing them straight up for the better payout. I don’t expect to see Lance play for the 49ers, and Jimmy G is unlikely to play, too. If it’s Sudfeld and Purdy handling the offense, it won’t end well for the home side.

Over/Under

The UNDER 33.5 (-117) is the play. The Packers defense is nasty, and they’re likely to be facing a third- and fourth-string quarterback. The 49ers will struggle to put points on the board. The first preseason game is traditionally low-scoring, and these teams will give the Under bettors what they want.

Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Green Bay Packers (13-3) and Detroit Lions (2-13-1) wrap up their regular seasons with a Week 18 meeting Sunday at Ford Field in the Motor City. The kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Packers vs. Lions odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Green Bay clinched a first-round bye and a home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs after crushing a QB Kirk Cousins-less Minnesota Vikings 37-10 on Sunday Night Football last weekend.

It’s unclear how long the Packers will play MVP frontrunner Aaron Rodgers, RB Aaron Jones and superstar WR Davante Adams. Green Bay is 12-4 ATS and 7-9 O/U.

Detroit was eliminated from playoff contention long ago and got rolled 51-29 in Week 17 by the Seattle Seahawks.

Lions QB Jared Goff has missed the last two games and his status for Week 18 is up in the air. The Lions are 10-6 ATS and 6-10 O/U.

The Packers stormed past the Lions 35-17 at Lambeau Field as 11.5-point favorites in Week 2 with 21 unanswered second-half points.

Packers at Lions odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Lions 24, Packers 17

Money line

PASS with a slight “lean” to the Lions (+140) since I like Detroit plus the points and will typically sprinkle on an underdog’s money line when betting them to cover.

However, this just isn’t a good enough payout to take the Lions outright since we still don’t know Goff’s status.

Green Bay is reportedly planning to send its starters out for at least a few series. I don’t trust Detroit backup QB Tim Boyle enough to lead the Lions past the Packers, even against Green Bay’s second-string defense.

Against the spread

BET the LIONS +3.5 (-125) for 1 unit because they are one of the best ATS teams in the NFL despite being mathematically eliminated from the playoffs for a long time.

Detroit first-year head coach Dan Campbell has done an awesome job having his team prepped every week and the Lions have played hard in most games this season.

Also, the Packers are 0-4 ATS in their last four games in Detroit and 2-7 ATS in their last nine games versus the Lions.

Detroit was ahead of Green Bay at the end of the first half in their Week 2 meeting before squandering the game after halftime.

The Lions outgained the Packers 344-323 but lost the turnover battle 2-0, committed nine penalties for 78 yards and were stopped on both fourth-down attempts.

I expect Detroit to have a better 60-minute performance against a Green Bay team that’ll probably rest its good players after a few series.

The LIONS +3.5 (-125) is my favorite wager in this game.

Over/Under

“LEAN” to the UNDER 44.5 (-110) for a half-unit because Detroit plays at the second-slowest pace in the NFL (seconds per snap) and Green Bay plays the third-slowest pace, according to Football Outsiders.

Lastly, there’s been some reverse line movement headed south of the total. Nearly 70% of the action is on the Over but this total has been lowered from the 45.5-point opener according to pregame.com. It’s a red flag whenever we see sportsbooks make the more popular side cheaper.

Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Minnesota Vikings (7-8) have their playoff hopes hanging in the balance when they travel to meet the Green Bay Packers (12-3) for Sunday Night Football. Kickoff from Lambeau field is set for 8:20 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Vikings vs. Packers odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Vikings have not been above .500 all season, but have numerous tie-breaker advantages in their favor. However, the line jumped by six points when it was learned that QB Kirk Cousins had tested positive for COVID-19 Friday and won’t be available for Sunday’s game.

Minnesota is in a huge hole since it doesn’t have a quality backup and will turn to QB Sean Mannion with its season on the line.

The Vikings are one of only three teams to beat Green Bay this season despite the Packers going 12-2 since a humbling loss to New Orleans in Week 1.

Green Bay controls its own destiny to earn the No. 1 seed in the NFC and make any Super Bowl run go through Lambeau Field in late January — a huge advantage for the Packers since the only teams that can catch them are all warm-weather squads.

Vikings at Packers odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Packers 34, Vikings 10

Money line

Since the announcement that Cousins won’t be playing the money line has exploded. Nobody should ever make a bet when your investment is seven times the return and throwing money at Minnesota is simply wasting it.

AVOID.

Against the spread

The team with the best record in the league is going up against a team that prepared all week that it would have Cousins and now have to turn to Mannion, who was on the practice squad until Friday morning.

The spread is big at 12.5 points, but I’m convinced the Packers can double that number. TAKE the PACKERS -12.5 (-117).

Over/Under

The hardest part about this line is whether Minnesota can score enough points to hold up its end of the bargain. RB Dalvin Cook and WR Justin Jefferson will likely do enough to get the Vikings in scoring position a couple of times, but Green Bay is more than capable of scoring the 34 points we’re projecting. BET the OVER 42.5 points (-112)
