SourcePick Ideas
Packers spread: shop for -3 or better
Consider Green Bay at -3 or better, but be cautious at -3.5: Green Bay's offense is not making any big plays, and a three-point win would not cover.
Under 41.5, with a price limit
The under is more appealing at 41.5 or higher; Green Bay's offensive line allowed 27 sacks or quarterback hits through three games, but avoid chasing it below 40.
