Lots of props to chew on Monday night
We’ve got a big one in the NFC North to round out Week 2 of the NFL season.
The Green Bay Packers host the Detroit Lions on “Monday Night Football,” with both teams looking to break into the win column. The Pack will try to put a Week 1 embarrassment behind them while keeping pace with Chicago in the division. Meanwhile, the Lions are hoping to shock the football world and also earn a share of first place after a Week 1 loss of their own.
Regardless of which team is able to right the ship, you can be a winner yourself by playing the “Monday Night NFL Challenge” at NESN Games. We’ve got a handful of prop bets for you to make for Lions-Pakcers, and a perfect showing gets you in the mix for a $50 Amazon gift card.
Head on over to NESN Games right now to sign up for the contest, and allow us to break down Monday night’s contest below.
Spread: Packers -12.5 (-110)
The books are bracing for a major bounce-back effort from Aaron Rodgers and the Packers after they were embarrassed 38-3 by New Orleans in Week 1. The Lions, on the other hand, looked feisty late with a miracle cover against the San Francisco 49ers (depending on the number you got).
Over/under: 48.5 (-114 to the over)
The Packers had the best offense in football last season and were especially explosive at home, leading the NFL with 31 points per game at Lambeau Field. Detroit now has Jared Goff under center, and the Over won’t die if the Lions finish like they did in Week 1 when they scored 16 of their 31 points in the fourth quarter.
Aaron Rodgers passing yards: over/under 280.5
To the surprise of no one, Rodgers has carved up the Lions for much of his career. He has thrown for more than 280 yards in five of his last six starts versus Detroit, not counting a 2018 contest he left early.
Davante Adams receiving yards: over/under 84.5
Another Lions tormenter, Adams has registered at least 93 receiving yards in three of his last four against Detroit. He’s looking to get right after being held to 56 yards on just five catches a week ago.
Jared Goff passing yards: over/under 268.5 passing yards
There’s definitely some recent familiarity, with Goff starting a playoff game in Lambeau for the Rams last season. He was held to just 174 yards in that game and no longer has the benefit of the LA offense. He did throw for 338 last week while racking up 183 yards in the fourth quarter.
Tyrell Williams receiving yards: over/under 42.5
The Western Oregon product was a no-show last week, catching just two passes for 14 yards. But the Packers do allow a lot of space at the line of scrimmage. Garbage time is also a consideration, too.
First team to score
The Packers seem like an obvious choice ? unless they were unable to fix any of their Week 1 issues.
Highest-scoring quarter
The second quarter is the favorite (+195), followed closely by the fourth (+235).
