The sportsbooks use calculated knowledge. They also post lines that take positions i.e. the "trap" game. They know damn well that Rodgers wouldn't have played the 2nd half if he couldn't play next week. The knee is structurally sound and ARod will play. If we are lucky he will still be structurally sound after the game next week.
