    So since the bookies give a home team three points automatically, does that mean the Packers are actually a half-point underdog?

      It means they really think Packers are 5.5 points better but they know Nards will miss a FG.

        Packers kicking situation now a day by day thing according to MLF.

        Packers coach Matt LaFleur would only say Monday that Hale could “potentially” be ready to kick if they want to give him a chance this week. It likely would be dependent on how Hale, a late addition to the roster in training camp, has kicked in practice. Asked if he’s considering a change at kicker, LaFleur said, “I wouldn’t say that right now, no.”

        Where is the breaking point?

        “We’ll see, again, we’ll take it day by day,” LaFleur said.

          I wonder how good Hale is and can be. Is it adjusting to the speed of the game and the rushers? Is it kicking a weird-shaped football? How strong is his leg? How accurate? Is he getting better?

          IF Turd Narveson is the kicker this week, zI predict he’ll lose his job if he doesn’t make every single kick.

            Hale is from Australia, but he kicked for several years for Oklahoma St.

            As a sixth-year senior in 2023, Hale went 36-of-38 on extra point attempts and 27-of-34 on field goal attempts, scoring a career-high 117 points on the season. The Pokes' star specialist also went 3-for-4 from beyond 50 yards during his final year in Stillwater.

            The New South Wales, Australia, product received an 86.3 field goal kicking grade from Pro Football Focus last year. Hale earned Second Team All-Big 12 honors and was a Lou Groza Award semifinalist for his efforts in 2023.

              Clearly they thought or think he needed development? Or that they could stash him for free while they gave/give Narveson a shot?

                I typically bet money line nowadays. Needing X to score Y points is kinda stressful. Just win, baby!

                    This is going to be a good game, if you like tight ones. I'm thinking this is the game where a last-minute field goal is necessary.

                    Turd Narveson, your future hangs in the balance here, bud. Do you want to be known as "Turd" or "Nards"? It's up to you now.

                      Nervous Narveson will have us all nervous.

                        It's all just one name now. A mononym if you will, like Madonna or perhaps Prince but without the stardom.

                        Nervous + Narveson = "Nervouson"

                          An AFC team in an NFC teams backyard needs to be a W unless said road team is a juggernaut. Houston is merely above average so this needs to be a win. It will be a good test for our defense though as this is a really balanced offense with a good young QB. I'd like to see the group of Halfwits hold them to 20 or less and create a turnover.

                            I love a good portamanteau. Also, a good port.
