Ouch! Detroit by 6.5

[GrnBay007]

Detroit is favored by 6.5 against the Pack......that hurts.

[BF4MVP]

LMFAO!

Don't worry 007...Pack are winnin Sunday. You'll see..You'll ALLLLL SEEEEEEE

Things are pretty low in titletown

[The Leaper]

Sounds like a moneymaker to me.

Detroit

The Packer teams that were much better than this one struggled in Detroit so this spread is not surprising. The only thing I care about in this game is our pass D. If a terrible QB like Kitna torches us, then all this talk about how we'll improve as the season wears on is nothing but BS.

Not too surprising. Pack usually struggles at the Dome against the Lions. Look at recent history. Even the '03 team that should have went to the NFC Championship game got their lunch handed to them by the Lions that season. Favre has always struggled for the most part on the road against the Lions too.

I don't like this matchup for us at all. They have a stout front and held the Seahawks to nine points in the home opener. I see a low scoring snooze-fest.

[Bretsky]

YES, I would think this would be one to lay your money on considering the spread. Packers will prolly lose, but the game should be close

[BF4MVP]

Packers will prolly lose

Bahhhhhhh

C'mon B

It's the LIONS!

Plus, it's like Madden says...

"When you have Brett Favre, you always have a chance."

The Lions interior DL will be visiting Brett often Sunday; that is why they are the odds on favorites. We don't have five starters to put on the field.

So, round it up and take away the HVA and you spot Detroit 4 points - enough to keep betters happy and try to go 50/50 on the money. This is the only time I hate Vegas

I'm so pissed at my company's pool - previously we just went heads up but this year we use these stupid spreads. Teams don't play to beat the spread - they play to win. Now, if Detroit is up 4 points going late in the game, they may try to go for a FG (and beat the spread) but they'll focus more on ball control and running out the clock.

If we keep 'flying under the radar' - we may just crash into the ground....

Agreed. If the Lions have a big passing game, prospects for this year will look very bad. 220 of New Orleans' yards on Sunday occurred on 7 plays. If the Packers secondary can stop the big plays, Packers have an excellent shot at a win.

So watch the spread to see if it moves....if it moves vegas wants bets the other way....which gives a little signal. There is a huge contest at Hilton in Vegas each year that goes by the line ...big bucks to get in. The picks are posted online but not till either Fri night or Sat. ...probably too late for your work pool.

Interesting - I'll have to check that out. Picks aren't due til 5 min before the start of the 1st game so I've got plenty of time.

Thanks for the tip - hopefully it pays off one of these weeks. I always do well in pick 'em but am unproven in the spread picks...
