Getting four points against a 2-7 team?

**midgensa** · 11-16-2005, 01:29 AM

How can odds makers really be making this more than a pick'em? I mean I could even see the Pack getting three points at home, but this is them saying they think the Packers are actually a better team ... I am very befuddled.

I can see why they are giving those odds. As much as I despise GB, they've been playing some good games as of late.

They put up points & Samkon Gado looks like a solid back.

Plus the fact they are at home & played very well againt the Falcons.

The question is can we beat them at home on a Monday night?

HELL YES!

I hope Sharper comes away with a few picks here, including another TD.

Dont know why, but the link won't work for me.

But do they have us picked to win?

In the NFC North, when Vikes and Pack or Vikes and Bears, or Detroit play
you can bet on a slugfest. We have the packs #, and aren't afraid of lamo
field.
Just hope we score some offensive points with a couple defensive takaways then we should win another road game outside.

The line opened at Green Bay -3.5 and it has even moved to Green Bay -4.5 at some sportsbooks. So it looks like early action is on the Packers.

The books usually pick a line that reflects the public's perception of a game. The "public" saw a good offensive performance by the Pack against Atlanta whereas the public may perceive the Vikings special teams/defensive win as a fluke.

If you plan on betting on the Vikings (like I am) then I suggest you wait until late Monday, right before the game, as the line may be giving the Vikings more than the 4 points you'll get now.

Good luck.
