#Packers QB Tim Boyle is wearing an Aaron Rodgers jersey in the locker room.
No way Zimmer and Barr fall for that.

Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
i like the in-the-pocket, move-the-chains, Rodgers. as last night's second half proved again, a less mobile Rodgers gets the ball out faster and is more surgical. no time to hold the ball and look for the home run ball unless it presents itself. the o-linemen also know where Rodgers is at all times and can move their man in the appropriate direction. it's going to be another squeaker.
Packers favored by 2.5. That may change if Rodgers can't play.

has anyone heard anything?
i haven't been able to find any updates anywhere
Nothing. Everybody is off tomorrow, so probably won't hear anything until Wednesday.Originally Posted by red
ya think?
I have good sources.
I think it was MM who said Rodgers was walking around in shorts and tennis shoes.
JSO had the report, I believe.

well i was like that today too and i have 2 bad knees a bad back and a terrible ankle
so shorts and tennis shoes doesnt tell us much
I know, Redman. But it's all I got.
It could be shorts and tennis shoes and an immobilization brace.

They'll play the mystery game all week, not sure if Rodgers can play, stressing that Kizer is taking starter's reps this week.
Then Rodgers will step onto the field with the offense on game day.

Surprised that a line is even up for the game with Arods status in doubt.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

The stock market still opens even when Elon Musk's status is in doubt, bud.
The sportsbooks in Vegas make money. They want the line as close as possible to 50/50 for the money on both teams. They commonly hold off on taking bets until they know if superstars are going to play.

I've always said Rodgers has only one weakness as a QB and that is he looks for the big play every play instead of taking what the D gives him. He should probably check down to running plays about 25% of the time. Perhaps this will shore up his weakness and he will now be 100% perfect.
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
Packer fans are typically the most crazy, so they often skew the betting line, so that Vegas has to compensate to get enough people betting against them. Thus the 2.5 at home with Rodger's status 'uncertain'*
I'm not sure about your claim about holding off on betting until Superstar status is determined. It seems to me stars are injured all the time in the NFL, their status is 'unknown' all week, and yet betting continues. That's just my impression - I don't follow it close enough to know for certain.
*I'm 'betting' Vegas has well-compensated moles in the various organizations giving them inside info
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.

I think Dan is right. Vegas will take games off the board if there is doubt and private info that might swing the money hard before Vegas and the public find out. A Rodgers injury is just that kind of thing. James Jones might make a killing off a -2.5 line for himself if Rodgers is out 2 weeks. Later in the season its not strange to see one game not listed until the injury reports are out officially.
Therefore I think Bobble is also right that its a better than even bet he plays. I wish I was that confident.
This aggregation site has a few books that are not offering odds yet. But its not just the Packers game: http://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/odds/las-vegas/
Mostly it seems that the Vikings have become the favorites by a 1 point.
