Jordan Love Over 19.5 pass completions (-110)

While the Green Bay Packers haven’t needed quarterback Jordan Love to attack through the air in recent weeks, Green Bay is an underdog for just the second time all season, and his completions total hasn’t been this low since Week 7. 

Additionally, Love sailed Over this number in three straight games when the Pack had competitive tilts in Weeks 8 through 10. He posted a rock-solid 72.8 completion percentage and solid 5.6 CPOE during the stretch, too.

David Montgomery Over 9.5 rushing attempts (-110)

The Detroit Lions have leaned on running back Jahmyr Gibbs the past two weeks for 27 carries and 20 targets across 91 offensive snaps, while backfield mate David Montgomery has checked in with just 11 carries and four targets over 45 offensive snaps. 

I’m anticipating Detroit narrowing the gap on a short week against a tough Green Bay defense in an important divisional game. 

Gibbs exploding for 410 yards from scrimmage the past two weeks has left few opportunities for Montgomery, but it’s also left Montgomery fresh for Thursday’s NFC North showdown, and the one-two punch out of the backfield has been a strength for the Detroit offense since Gibbs and Montgomery debuted in The Motor City in 2023.

Jameson Williams Over 50.5 receiving yards (-110)

The target tree is a lot narrower in the Lions passing attack with tight end Sam LaPorta (back) sidelined and wide receivers Kalif Raymond (ankle) and Isaac TeSlaa (hand) both nursing injuries on a short week. 

It should present more opportunities for wideout Jameson Williams in the passing game, and he’s a big-play threat averaging an elite 18.1 yards per reception and 8.0 YAC per reception. 

Add a rock-solid 13.6 aDoT to him hauling in 33.3% of his team’s air yards, and I like Williams leaving his mark on Thursday’s game.

Neil takes a numbers-based approach to his handicapping and complements his in-depth statistical analysis with a keen eye on the markets to provide the best available odds. He loves to lean on his rolodex of idioms to offset his inner nerd. When it comes to wagering, he throws down on anything that catches his eye at bet365, Betway and BetVictor. He also keeps a close eye on CoolBet because the polar bear brand often has outlier NHL and NFL moneyline prices.

Neil graduated with honors from St. Thomas University in 2007 before completing his BEd at Acadia University in 2010. After teaching a myriad of courses and subjects, he found a groove delivering fun lessons to exceptional learners in non-traditional classroom environments. If his decade-plus teaching run taught him anything about sports betting, it’s to stay the course and use the summer – or offseason – to refresh and prepare to be better in the year to come.
