Detroit +12 -110 over GREEN BAY

8:15 PM EST. The market perception here is that the Packers are the Packers and a rebound at home on Monday Night Football against the lowly Lions is inevitable because IT'S THE PACKERS dontcha know! Green Bay was embarrassed last week against New Orleans in Jacksonville, and Aaron Rodgers, oh boy, now he wouldn't let that happen again, no sir! For cryin' out loud, you ask anyone around, pickin' against the Packers in prime time makes about as much sense as government cheese.

Now, Rodgers, he's already got the holler tail after being disrespected by the team there, you betcha, but then they made up and dontcha know, he got his buddy Randall Cobb back on the Pack. Everything was just peachy, then uff da, the Saints hit the Packers fiercer than a Clipper crossing those Great Lakes in the middle of January (38-3). That's why they call it "The Frozen Tundra" dontcha know? Oh, and speakin' of the home of the Pack, have ya heard? Lambeau Field will be packed to the brim, that's just aces they say! We hate to be a bummer, but aww jeez, home-field advantage ain’t what it used to be. Just ask the Seahawks or Steelers about that, eh?

Around the bubbler, they may be sayin' there that there's no way the Packers can lose a game like this at home, with 82 000 cheese heads, but from what we saw last week, Rodgers and crew played like their gym shoes were tied too tight (New Orleans dominated every aspect of the game, first downs, total yardage and time of possession, just to name a few). Coulda been the hair binder #12 is using to tie back that greasy pone he's sportin' was a little snug, 'cause Rodgers went just 15-for-28 for 133 yards and two interceptions before havin' to take a seat. Now maybe it was just one bad game, but maybe buddy should have gone to training camp instead of pot shottin' the Packers all summer. As for spottin' an inflated price like this on Monday Night Football? Green Bay's offense is slower than molasses at the best of times. Last week it looked like the Packers were schnookered after too many Miller High Lifes.

Now what to make of these Lions? Aw heck, they were down 21 to the 49ers at halftime in Week 1, who wants a pop and some puppy chow after a stinker like that? Detroit didn't quit though and the Lions battled backed to make the score a respectable 41-33. Depending on what number a ticket landed on, that was either a back door cover for Jared Goff and his buds or a slim win for San Fran.

Anyhow, the Lions have little curb appeal in the market and the line movement here leans that way. Green Bay opened as a 10½ point choice and has been bet up to the inflated price we see now, which is just a bit spendy for our tastes. Probably worth mentionin’ that Pinnacle, the sharpest book on the planet is danglin’ the Packers at a discount, which is shadier than a palm tree on Lombardi Avenue. Classic, huh? Buyer beware on the Pack.

Enjoy the game and if you get schnookered, call a cab or rideshare and stay off the expressway. Otherwise, you'll be up Shit's Crick without a paddle. Be safe out there, ya hosers. We love yas!
