Great day yesterday. That Chiefs-Ravens game was a thriller - we’ve been treated to some damn good football games so far this year. Tonight we get treated again in a rivalry matchup between the Packers & Lions. I actually don’t know if I can call it a rivalry since the Packers have always dominated the Lions, especially the past 20 years, but it is a division game and both teams started the season with a loss so this game is very important for both teams. I would say more so for the Packers who got smoked by Jameis Winston and the Saints in week 1. The Packers are so much better on paper, so that is why they are favored so heavily but after last week’s game you never know, especially since the Lions put up 33 on the 49ers and the Packers only put up 3 against the Saints. I am really not sure who covers the spread on this one considering the wonky week 1 both teams had, so I’ll just stick with a few player props that I am very confident in. Take the over 48.5 total points, Aaron Jones over 19.5 receiving yards, and Jared Goff over 257.5 total passing yards.
