💪 Spread
Packers +2.5 has a 50% probability
Right now our model can’t split these two at the spread, which just shows that it is agreeing strongly with the sportsbooks. Our spread pick right now is the Packers due to the fact that there are slightly better odds out there. If the spread moves from 2.5 either way, it’s worth a play to the team that move favors.
👇 Over/Under
Total Points u45.5 has a 52% probability
The last three results between these teams have all fallen under 45.5 points and with our data currently projecting a 21:23 final score, the under is definitely the play here.
