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.
  • Green Bay is 6-2 against the spread; Jacksonville is 3-5 ATS.

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 SamuelBrandon 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 MostertTevin 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.

Packers at 49ers game notes

  • The Packers have lost two of their last three games after a strong 4-0 start. They dropped a 28-22 decision to the NFC North rival Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field last week.
  • The 49ers took a 37-27 loss at the NFC West rival Seattle Seahawks in Week 8. The loss snapped a two-game win streak for the Niners.
  • 49ers QB Nick Mullens will make his third start of the season in Week 9. In all, he has completed 70.4% of 98 pass attempts for 852 yards and 4 touchdowns against 3 interceptions. QB Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list.
  • The Packers backfield is a mess coming into this one. RB Aaron Jones (calf) is expected to miss a second straight game. RBs A.J. Dillon and Jamaal Williams were placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. Fifth-year pro Tyler Ervin should lead the group in Week 9; he has 76 yards from scrimmage on 10 touches this season.
  • Green Bay is 5-2 against the spread but covers by just 1.9 points per game. San Francisco is 4-4 ATS and covers by an average of 0.9 PPG.
  • The Packers are 4-3 against the Over/Under while the Niners are 4-4 against the projected point totals.

Packers at 49ers: Odds, prediction, betting lines and picks

Prediction

Packers 27, 49ers 13

Money line (?)

The PACKERS (-250) and an angry QB Aaron Rodgers have an excellent bounce-back opportunity against the banged-up Niners. The Packers’ replacement-level backfield for TNF isn’t much of a detriment with the Niners down to their third-string (Jerick McKinnon) and fourth-string (JaMycal Hasty) running backs as well.

Lean on Rodgers and WR Davante Adams to outduel Mullens and The Replacements in the Bay Area.

Against the spread (?)

There’s much better value to be had by backing the PACKERS -5.5 (-110) to win by at least 6 points. So long as Rodgers is able to get Green Bay out to the early lead, there’s just no way for San Francisco to keep pace.

No team in the NFL has the current injury troubles of the reigning NFC champions.

Over/Under (?)

The corresponding pick here is the UNDER 49.5 (-110). The Packers will get an early lead and then be able to sit back and stifle Mullens and the Niners’ passing attack.

Green Bay Packers favored at home vs. Minnesota Vikings in Week 8

The Minnesota Vikings open as road underdogs in their Week 8 matchup against the NFC North rival Green Bay Packers.

The Green Bay Packers (5-1) and Minnesota Vikings (1-5) will lock horns and match wits in a Week 8 NFC Central showdown. Kickoff at Lambeau Field will be Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. Below, we take a look at the early Week 8 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Packers bounced back from their lone loss of the season  (Oct. 18 at Tampa Bay) with a 35-20 win at Houston on Sunday. QB Aaron Rodgers threw a trio of first-half touchdown passes in leading Green Bay to a 21-0 lead. Rodgers would throw four TD passes in the game, matching a season-high he notched against these Vikings on Sept. 13. The Packers won that game (in Minneapolis), 43-34, and have beaten the Vikings in three straight games, dating to November of 2018.

Week 7 was a bye week for Minnesota. In Week 6, the Vikings allowed 40 points for a second time this season (Sept. 13 vs. Green Bay) as they lost, 40-23, at the Atlanta Falcons. QB Kirk Cousins threw three TD passes as part of a 343-yard game, but the veteran signal-caller also threw three interceptions in a game Minnesota trailed wire-to-wire. Rushing difficulties (32 yards on 13 carries) forced the Vikings into a possession time under 22 minutes (19:53) for a third time this season.
