Packers Betting Picks of the Week
The Packers had a relatively slow 2018-19 season, mainly due to injuries to starting quarterback Aaron Rogers. With Rogers healthy and ready to go, you can expect the team to be much more competitive this season. Many experts have the team coming out of the NFC North with a playoff spot.
A number of Green Bay Packers betting options will be available this season. Some of the most popular betting types include:
Moneylines
Moneylines provide simple bets on the winner of a matchup. Odds can vary greatly based on the teams. Basically, these are a simple win-lose bet.
Points Spreads
Point spreads attempt to even out matchups by awarding the underdog a select number of points. Favorites, on the other hand, are deducted the same number of points.
If you bet against the spread, you’re betting on the underdog to lose by less than a select number of points. To cover the spread, you must wager on the favorite to win by more than the select number of points.
Over/Under
Over-under bets give you the chance to bet on the total number of points in a game. A number will be set by the sportsbook, you can wager on whether you think the points total will be over or under the set number.
Prop Bets
Football prop bets give you the chance to bet on various occurrences within a game. Note, these actions don’t necessarily affect the game’s outcome. For example, you can bet on who will score the first touchdown.
In contrast, some are related to the outcome, at least in part. As an example, bet on whether Aaron Rogers will score two touchdowns in the game. Get a full explanation of prop bets.
