ESPN's Matchup Predictor gives Green Bay a 58.2% chance of winning.

That's too low. I put it higher like 65%. And if Lamar doesn't play it's in the 70s.

Agree with Sean.  This is a rare week where I feel the Ravens are touchdown dogs at home.  Doesn't happen often, and seems downright impossible for a well-over 500 team to be such dogs, but all the factors make me think the Packers are really strong favorites.

 

Doesn't mean the Ravens can't win.  Touchdown dogs win too often to take much notice.  33/66 isn't that far off from 50/50 when you're talking about one game.  One weird thing goes in the Ravens favor and then it's a tossup.

Maybe the weather will be poor and that will equalize things a bit.  If it's dry and not windy, it should be an all out beat down.  There's literally nothing stopping Rodgers from feasting on this defense.  No pass rush, lousy secondary and horrendous tackling.  Pencil him in for at least 350 yards passing.

Need to get lucky 2 more times this year. That likely gets us in. Preferably vs Pitt and Cincy. Could win Sun but all remaining games feel like a tall task.

[Mike B]

Nothing about this season rings lucky to me.  Unless, you are talking bad luck.  The losses this team has taken, to its roster is certainly not lucky.

Very thankful my opponent in the fantasy playoffs doesn’t have Adams.

Wonder if the spread is taking into account Rodgers hasn’t practiced all week either. If Rodgers suits up and Lamar doesn’t, the line will go to like GB -10.5

I think the real question is whether Davante Adams tops 200 receiving yards. What's Vegas got the O/U at on that one?

 

That question may depend in part on how well they're able to run the ball. If they're having success on the ground too, maybe they pound it more. Either way, I expect Rodgers to play. And even if he's a little less mobile than usual, I expect him to be perfectly capable of slinging it all over the field.

 

Maybe the Ravens will get a few lucky bounces and Huntley will have the type of coming out game that stands to make him some money in the future. The Jets have wins over the Titans and Bengals this season. Any given Sunday!

Isn't he dealing with Covid toe?

Isn't he dealing with Covid toe?

Just like he was last week? 29/37, 341 yards, 4 TDs.

[Slidemaster]

This just feels like a 4 td blowout, so naturally it will be close.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Despite some of my ugly comments in the heat of the game threads, if there's one thing this team has no shortage of, it's heart. Expecting a fairly sizeable loss here, but them keeping it close, or even squeaking out a win honestly wouldn't surprise me.

I'm assuming Ben Cleveland starts at LG with Ben Powers out. However, Tyre Phillips could move there if Patrick Mekari returns. Cleveland only played special teams snaps last week. Has not been in the rotation he was in with Powers earlier in the year. 

 

Also, if the Ravens want to have 48 active instead of 47 Sunday, they need all of the "questionable" O-lineman to be active, and PS callups of two of Jones-Smith, Sharpe, and Redmond. I think two of them can be COVID replacements, so Sharpe with zero freebies left could get a COVID call up.

 

Fully expect Huntley to play and the Ravens are just using gamesmanship against the Packers by keeping LJ's status up in the air until game time. 

 

Not a lot of injury designations on the defensive side, but losing Campbell sucks. Clark could return off the COVID list. If he doesn't, I think Bynes would have to wear the green dot for the game. Can't be Queen, Stephens, or Stone, IMO. 

 

With Campbell not looking likely, and if Clark stays on the COVID list, probably Mack gets his second promotion, and Jackson the COVID replacement with no freebies left. 

 

If four guys are called up, if gives them 54. 6 inactives. 

 

Powers for sure

Campbell very likely

LJ very likely

Ricard likely

Boyle?

Harrison?

[Steve55]

GB's weakness is their special teams. Maybe we get a couple of long punt returns. Of course the game could even up quick if someone steps on Rogers foot .

Looking at you Brandon Williams!

He never gets to any quarterbacks.

Accidentally after a play. Oops, didn't see your foot there Aaron . 

[Bmore Irish]

The secondary and offensive line for this game...oof. Hard to be optimistic about this one given the match up.

[Mike B]

He never gets to any quarterbacks.  

That is not his role, nor is he in on a lot of passing downs.

What he does is stand up to double teams on rushing attempts.  He is virtually unmoveable
