Packers favored by 6.5. They are 7-5-1 ATS.
Lions are 5 point underdogs. They are the same ATS.I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

How can they not play the packer game in western WI? I like to watch NFC North games. I can't be the only fan that is excited about the division race. They play all three division games at noon. Forget about recording one - the broadcasts constantly announce scores of other games, spoiling them.
It seems like the NFL does so many obviously stupid things to annoy fans out of watching more games. If they didn't constantly give spoiler scores, their NFL game day package might be worth something. The broadcasts are like ticker tapes for betters and fantasy football geeks.

You pretty much answered your own question there. The NFLs market growth these days is in fantasy participants, not die hard fans.Originally posted by Harlan Huckleby View PostHow can they not play the packer game in western WI?

I never heard anyone call 'em a "wireless." Geez, for a whippersnapper you really ARE out of it, Harlan! hahahahaOriginally posted by Harlan Huckleby View PostIt just occurred to me that nobody under 50 probably knows what a "ticker tape" is. These are people who think "the wireless" refers to a router.
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.
