Titans at Packers: Game notes

  • The Titans beat the Detroit Lions 46-25 at home in Week 15, covering as 9.5-point favorites. QB Ryan Tannehill (273 passing yards) threw for 3 touchdowns and ran for 2, while RB Derrick Henry ran for 147 yards and a TD – he leads the NFL with 1,679 rushing yards. Tennessee has won four of its last five games.
  • The Packers enter on a 4-game win streak, recently topping the Carolina Panthers 24-16 at home in Week 15 – but failing to cover the 8.5-point spread. QB Aaron Rodgers (143 passing yards) threw a touchdown and ran for score, while RB Aaron Jones rushed for 145 yards with 1 TD.
  • The Titans and Indianapolis Colts (10-4) are tied atop the AFC South, but Tennessee holds the tiebreaker based on a better division record (4-1 to 3-2). Tennessee closes the regular season at the Houston Texans (4-10), while Indy visits the Pittsburgh Steelers (11-3) in Week 16 and hosts the Jacksonville Jaguars (1-13) in Week 17
  • The Packers already clinched the NFC North. Entering Week 16, they hold a 1-game lead over the New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks, who are both 10-4, for the NFC’s No. 1 seed.
  • It’s been more than four years since the Titans and Packers last met. Tennessee won that meeting 47-25 at home Nov. 13, 2016. Then-Titans QB Marcus Mariota threw for 295 yards and 4 TDs, while Rodgers finished with 371 passing yards, 2 TDs and 2 picks. The Titans are 4-1 vs. the Packers since 2001.

Betting stats:

  • ATS: Titans 7-7 | Packers 8-6

  • LB Derick Roberson (hamstring) out

  • G Simon Stepaniak (knee) doubtful
  • RB Jamaal Williams (quadriceps) doubtful

Texans at Colts: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Packers 27, Titans 24

Money line (?)

This could come down to who has the ball last, which makes the Titans (+140) somewhat tempting. However, I’m going to PASS and focus on the spread and O/U.

Against the spread (?)

TENNESSEE +3 (-110) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager. Excluding a Week 13 home loss to the Cleveland Browns, the Titans are playing some of the best football in the league. They actually need a win more than the Packers due to the tight AFC South race with the Colts. If the line drops to 2.5, the play changes to a PASS.

Over/Under (?)

Back the OVER 55.5 (-110). It’s a high number, but both offenses rank in the top 3 when it comes to scoring points. The Titans are first, averaging 31.1 points per game; the Packers are third at 31.0 PPG – the Kansas City Chiefs are second at 31.1 PPG (just one less total point than the Titans).

Panthers at Packers: Game notes

  • The Packers beat the Detroit Lions 31-24 last week for their third straight win. All three wins came by at least a 7-point margin and seven of Green Bay’s 10 victories were decided by a margin greater than 8 points.
  • The Panthers lost their second game in a row, as they fell 32-27 at home against the Denver Broncos coming out of a Week 13 bye. They’ve lost seven of eight games since a three-game win streak from Weeks 3-5. Just three of their nine losses were by 8 or more points.
  • Green Bay’s offense ranks as the best unit in the league by Football Outsiders’ DVOA. The offensive line is No. 1 in pressures allowed and ESPN’s Pass Block Win Rate and Run Block Win Rate.
  • Carolina is ninth in yards per play on offense but just 17th in points per play. Green Bay is second in yards per play and first in points per play.
  • Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has BetMGM‘s second-best odds to be named the AP MVP at +200. He has a league-leading 39 touchdown passes against just 4 interceptions with 3,685 yards on a 69.6% completion rate.

Panthers at Packers: Key injuries

Panthers

  • RB Christian McCaffrey (thigh) doubtful
  • OT Russell Okung (calf) questionable
  • DE Austin Larkin (shoulder) questionable

Packers

  • LB Rashan Gary (hip) questionable
  • WR Allen Lazard (core) questionable
  • LB Za’Darius Smith (ankle, thumb) questionable

Panthers at Packers: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Packers 31, Panthers 17

Money line (?)

The Packers (-400) will win a fourth straight and will do so with Saturday temperatures hovering around freezing at Lambeau Field.

There’s no value in a money line bet; however, with a $10 wager returning a profit of just $2.50. PASS and bet the spread.

Against the spread (?)

The PACKERS -8 (-110) are an easy pick, even when needing to win by at least 9 points. They’re 8-5 ATS for the season and as noted above, have won big more often than not.

The Panthers surprised by staying within 2 points in a 33-31 Week 9 road loss against the Kansas City Chiefs, but the Packers will benefit from their frigid home environment and the continued absence of McCaffrey.

Over/Under (?)

Take the UNDER 51.5 (-110) even though both teams are 7-6 against the O/U for the season.

The Packers match up well defensively against the Panthers’ dependency on big pass plays. RB Mike Davis‘ production has dropped off as the season has gone on and has made the offense too one-dimensional to keep up with the Packers.

Packers at Lions: Game notes

  • The Packers are coming off a 30-16 win against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13. They have won their past two games by an average of 15.0 points per game and covered the spread in both. It’s Green Bay’s first time with consecutive covers since going 4-0 ATS to open the season.
  • Green Bay lost its most recent road game, falling in Week 11 at the Indianapolis Colts 34-31 in overtime. They Packers are 4-2 SU/ATS in six road outings to date, with the Over also 4-2 in those six contests.
  • These teams met at Lambeau Field Sept. 20 in Week 2 with the Pack doubling up the Lions 42-21 to coast to a cover as 7-point favorites.
  • The Lions won 34-30 at the Chicago Bears last week, avenging a disappointing Week 1 loss. The victory was the first for interim head coach Darrell Bevell, who took the reins for the fired Matt Patricia after the Week 12 Thanksgiving Day debacle – a 41-25 home loss to the Houston Texans.
  • Detroit has posted a 1-4 SU/ATS mark in five games at Ford Field this season, and they’re 1-3 SU/ATS in four games inside the NFC North Division. Green Bay is 3-1 SU/ATS in four divisional games to date.

Packers at Lions: Key injuries

Packers

  • WR Equanimeous St. Brown (knee, concussion) questionable
  • S Darnell Savage (groin) questionable
  • TE Jace Sternberger (concussion) out

Lions

  • OT Tyrell Crosby (ankle) out
  • WR Kenny Golladay (hip) out
  • CB Jeff Okudah (groin) out
  • DL John Penisini (shoulder) questionable
  • QB Matthew Stafford (thumb) questionable
  • RB D’Andre Swift (illness) questionable

Packers at Lions: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Packers 34, Lions 27

Money line (?)

The Packers (-450) will cost four and a half times your potential return, and even though they’re up against the lowly Lions (+350), that’s a risky proposition for any road team in the NFL. AVOID.

Against the spread (?)

The LIONS +9 (-110) were able to pick up a victory on the road last week against the Bears, and the firing of Patricia served as a wake-up call. Can they carry over the momentum against the high-octane Packers -9? Detroit is 6-1 ATS in the past seven meetings vs. Green Bay, and 5-2 ATS across the past seven home meetings in the series.

Over/Under (?)

OVER 54.5 (-110) is the way to go here, as these teams generally combine for plenty of points. The Lions are hurting without Golladay, but they were able to win without him last week. Whether or not Swift plays is inconsequential, too, as they showed they can score plenty of points with trusty veteran RB Adrian Peterson in the backfield.

The Over has connected in seven of the past 10 meetings in this series, and four of the previous five at Ford Field, too.

Green Bay Packers favored in Week 14 battle at Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions opened as betting home underdogs for their Week 14 game vs. the Green Bay Packers.

The Green Bay Packers (9-3) will meet the Detroit Lions (5-7) in a Week 14 NFC Central showdown Sunday afternoon (4:25 p.m. ET) at Ford Field. Below, we take a look at the early Week 14 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Packers defeated the Philadelphia Eagles, 30-16, on Sunday. It was a pair of Aarons leading the way for Green Bay, with QB Aaron Rodgers throwing a trio of touchdown passes as part of a 295-yard afternoon and RB Aaron Jones rushing for 130 yards. The victory marked the Packers’ third in their last four games. They head to Detroit looking for a fourth straight win over the Lions.

The Lions found themselves down 10 (30-20), with three minutes remaining in their Sunday road battle against the Chicago Bears, but Detroit rallied, finding paydirt twice in the final two minutes-and-18 seconds to pull off an unlikely victory. QB Matthew Stafford (402 passing yards, 3 TDs) and RB Adrian Peterson (57 rushing yards, 2 TDs) were responsible for the endgame scores which lifted the Lions to just their second win since Oct. 25.

Eagles at Packers: Game notes

  • The Eagles enter on a three-game losing skid, most recently losing 23-17 at home to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 12’s Monday Night Football game. They snatched a back-door cover as 6.5-point underdogs on a 2-point conversion run that followed TE Richard Rodgers’ 33-yard touchdown catch off a tipped ball in the end zone with 12 seconds to go.
  • The Packers have won three of their last four games, recently beating the visiting Chicago Bears 41-25 – as 7.5-point favorites – in the Week 12 Sunday Night Football matchup. QB Aaron Rodgers (211 passing yards) threw three of his four TDs on the Packers’ first three possessions and LB Preston Smith returned a fumble recovery for a 14-yard score as the Pack jumped out to a 27-3 lead late in the second quarter.
  • The Eagles, 1-4 ATS on the road, have dropped five of their last seven and are a half-game out of first place in the woeful NFC East – the New York Giants and Washington Football Team are tied for first at 4-7 each.
  • Green Bay, 3-2 ATS at home, holds a three-game lead over the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC North. The Packers are one game back of the New Orleans Saints (9-2) for the NFC’s top seed but own the tiebreaker thanks to a 37-30 head-to-head win in Week 3.
  • The Eagles upset the Packers 34-27 last season in Green Bay as 3.5-point underdogs in Week 4. Rodgers was intercepted in the end zone on 2nd-and-goal from the Philly 3-yard line with 28 seconds left. Eagles QB Carson Wentz threw 3 TDs with just 160 passing yards in the win, while Rodgers finished with 422 passing yards, 2 TDs and the 1 pick in the loss.

Eagles at Packers: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Packers 35, Eagles 20

Money line (?)

PASS. The 4-to-1 risk on the Packers (-418) isn’t worth the reward.

Against the spread (?)

GREEN BAY-9 (-105) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1.5 times your usual wager. Rodgers and the Packers offense will have their way with the Eagles. Green Bay leads the league in scoring (31.7 points per game) and ranks fourth in total yards (392.9 yards per game). Philly’s defense allows 25.2 PPG to rank 16th.

Over/Under (?)

The OVER 48.5 (-115) is the way to go. We know the Packers will score. Expect the Eagles to put up some points in the latter half of this game once it’s out of reach. As long as they get to 20 points, the Over should cash here.

Bears at Packers: Game notes

  • The Bears enter on a four-game losing streak, most recently dropping a 19-13 decision at home to the Minnesota Vikings as 3.5-point underdogs in Week 10. QB Mitchell Trubisky (59.3% completion rate, 560 passing yards, 6 touchdowns and 3 interceptions) returns as the starter after being benched in the middle of a Week 3 win at the Atlanta Falcons.
  • The Packers, who lead the NFC North by two games over the second-place Bears, are coming off a 34-31 overtime loss at the Indianapolis Colts in Week 11. Green Bay started the season 4-0 but is 3-3 over its last six games.
  • Packers QB Aaron Rodgers is 18-5 in games started against the Bears. For the season, the two-time MVP has thrown for 2,889 yards, completing 68.2% of his passes with 29 TDs vs. 4 picks.
  • Green Bay’s third-down situations should be the difference in this one. The Packers convert 47.9% of their third-down attempts, ranking fourth in the NFL. The Bears defense ranks third in allowing opponents to convert 33.3% of their third-down snaps.
  • The Bears are 5-5 ATS, and the Packers are 6-4 ATS with both teams failing to cover in each of their last two games.
  • The Packers took the last two games in the head-to-head series. They won 21-13 at home Dec. 15, 2019, as 4-point favorites, and prevailed 10-3 Sept. 5, 2019, as 3.5-point dogs.

Bears at Packers: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Packers 27, Bears 13

Money line (?)

PASS. The Packers will win, but the -417 price is not worth the risk.

Against the spread (?)

GREEN BAY -9 (-110) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1.5 times your usual wager. Look for Rodgers to continue his domination of Chicago. Plus, the Packers have had a full week to think about how they blew it at Indy last Sunday – they led 28-14 at the half before losing in OT.

Over/Under (?)

The UNDER 43.5 (-106) is the way to go. The Bears are 3-7 vs. the O/U this season, averaging just 19.1 points per game to rank second-to-last in the NFL. Plus, their defense is a stingy one, allowing 20.9 PPG to rank sixth.

Just beware of the Packers offense, which scores 30.8 PPG, third-best in the league.

Green Bay Packers favored in Week 12 Lambeau tilt vs. Chicago Bears

The Green Bay Packers are the betting favorites in their Week 12 home game vs. the Chicago Bears.

The Chicago Bears (5-5) and Green Bay Packers (7-3) will tangle in a Week 12 NFC Central showdown on Sunday Night Football. Kickoff at Lambeau Field is at 8:20 p.m. ET. Below, we take a look at the early Week 12 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Packers coughed up a 14-point halftime lead on their way to a 34-31 overtime loss at the Indianapolis Colts in Week 11. QB Aaron Rodgers threw for 311 yards for his third straight 300-yard game for a Green Bay offense which ranks third in the league in scoring (30.8 points per game). Since 2017, the Packers are 5-1 against their longtime rivals.

The Bears, coming off a bye week, haven’t won since Oct. 18 and are 0-4 since. Three of those four losses – and four total on the season – have been by eight points or less. Chicago hasn’t won at Green Bay since 2015. The Bears rank 31st in NFL scoring (19.1 PPG) but a robust sixth in defensive points allowed (20.9 PPG).

Packers at Colts: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Packers 27, Colts 24

Money line (?)

The Packers are underdogs in this game but not by much. Although they haven’t exactly looked great as of late, losing to the Vikings and narrowly beating the Jaguars in the last three weeks, they’re still the more well-rounded team. Their run defense is a concern against the Colts’ ground game, but the bigger concern is whether Indianapolis can keep up with QB Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense.

Take the PACKERS (+105) to win outright on the road in a controlled environment at Lucas Oil Stadium. There will be no weather element, which favors the Packers offense.

Against the spread (?)

The Packers had letdowns against the Minnesota Vikings and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but they’ve covered the spread in six of their nine games. It’s somewhat surprising that they’re getting two points from the Colts, which makes this bet even better.

Take the PACKERS +2 (-110) as they look to bounce back from a disappointing effort against the Jacksonville Jaguars, getting back on track – assuming Adams and their other receivers are able to play.

Over/Under (?)

The Over/Under has mostly been split between the Packers and Colts, so there’s no real trend to bank on. The Colts defense is one of the best in football, but they haven’t faced a quarterback like Rodgers, who’s having one of the best seasons of his career.

As long as Green Bay stops the Colts’ rushing attack, the score won’t get out of control. Bet the UNDER 51.5 (-115).

Jaguars at Packers: Game notes

  • Jaguars rookie QB Jake Luton, a sixth-round pick of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Oregon State, completed 26 of 38 passes for 304 yards and one touchdown with one interception in his NFL debut last week. The Jags lost 27-25 against the Houston Texans at home.
  • The Packers got back on track with a comfortable 34-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football last week. They lost 28-22 to the Minnesota Vikings the week before.
  • Packers RB Aaron Jones (calf) returned from injury to play 61% of the offensive snaps in last week’s win. He rushed 15 times for 58 yards and caught all five of his targets for 21 yards.
  • Green Bay ranks third in the NFL with 31.6 points per game. Jacksonville averages just 22.4 PPG. The discrepancies are nearly as stark defensively with the Packers holding the opposition to 25.5 PPG while the Jaguars allow 30.9 PPG to rank 31st.
  • The Packers have a turnover differential of plus-3 to the Jaguars’ minus-4 differential.

Jaguars at Packers: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Packers 35, Jaguars 17

Money line (?)

The Packers are massive favorites at home and coming off a 17-point win in primetime. They’re led by an MVP-contending quarterback and have their top running back fully back in action. The Packers win, but we can’t bet them at these odds. PASS and look to the spread.

Against the spread (?)

The PACKERS -14 (-106) have won four games by at least 14 points and will do so once again. They’ll be able to build a large enough lead to set aside any fear of a backdoor cover while outmatching the Jaguars in every aspect of the game.

Over/Under (?)

The Packers will do the bulk of the scoring and the Jags will be able to get into the end zone a couple of times later in the game. Take the OVER 48.5 (-115).

NFL Prop Bets Payday: 4 Green Bay Packers at San Francisco 49ers prop predictions

Highlighting four Green Bay Packers at San Francisco 49ers prop bet predictions ahead of their Week 9 Thursday Night Football matchup.

The Green Bay Packers (5-2) and San Francisco 49ers (4-4) meet at Levi’s Stadium on Thursday Night Football in Week 9, but both teams will look much different than most will expect. Injuries and COVID-19 have ravaged the starting rosters and plenty of less recognizable faces will be stepping up in primetime for the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Below, we give you five prop bet predictions to consider for the Packers-49ers Thursday Night Football matchup from the BetMGM game menu.

Packers at 49ers prop bets to make for Thursday Night Football

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 3:25 p.m. ET.

49ers QB Nick Mullens OVER 20.5 completions (+125)

The 49ers are without their top three wide receivers in Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Kendrick Bourne after Bourne tested positive for COVID Wednesday. TEs George Kittle and Jordan Reed are also sidelined by injuries. Most teams would lean on the running game in this situation, but the 49ers are also without Raheem Mostert, Tevin Coleman and Jeff Wilson.

Mullens, who’s filling in for injured QB Jimmy Garoppolo, should throw close to 40 times with negative game script against Rodgers. If so, he’ll be likely to go OVER 20.5 (+125) completions, and that’s where the better value lies.

49ers RB Jerick McKinnon OVER 59.5 rushing+receiving yards (-110)

McKinnon has twice topped 40 receiving yards this season with other totals of 20 and 39 yards. He’ll be leaned on as Mullens’ top healthy target and in a game script that’ll force the 49ers to throw. This is a very low line and a high-confidence bet.

Packers TE Robert Tonyan and 49ers RB Jerick McKinnon both to record 50+ receiving yards (+1000)

McKinnon should be the No. 1 target for Mullens Thursday night and Tonyan has developed into Rodgers’ No. 2 or 3 option in most matchups. With Green Bay’s backfield an underwhelming pair of replacements, look for Rodgers to help run the clock with throws to his big tight end in the middle of the field.

Mullens to score 49ers’ first touchdown (+1100)

Mullens has made 10 career starts with 13 total appearances. He has experience and will be able to keep San Francisco in this game for at least a short while.

We often see overmatched quarterbacks on injury-riddled teams look to do a little more on their own, especially near the goal line. There’s a good chance this will be the case for the third-year backup and the 11-1 payout offers plenty of incentive for a small bet on Mullens to score the Niners’ first – and likely only – touchdown of the game.

I’d hedge with a smaller bet on No San Francisco Touchdown at +1000.
