I have no doubt the Packers will win this game, if you watched the game against the Saints you would of seen Favre made some great throws, he only had 2 bad throws in that game, 1 when he was hit and one where Driver bailed him out by ripping the ball from 2 defenders. The defense showed that they can play great, they just have to stay consistent. Even though the Saints are no Chicago Bears I still say the Packers showed alot of improvement and I have faith that the team will show that they are going to keep getting better week in and week out which will lead to a stomping of the Detroit Lions.
[quote name='porky88']The spread means nothing.[/quote] You're just WRONG on this. There's no other way I can put it. [quote name='porky88']As a Lions fan I'm sure you remember Super Bowl 32. GB was favored by 10 in that game.[/quote] Has anyone ever said the Point Spread was fool proof. I know I haven't. [quote name='porky88']The Lions are being favorite in this game for 1 reason and that's their at home.[/quote] WRONG again Porky. Using your logic the Packers would have been favored in each of their first two games. They were underdogs both times, as they are this week. Actually the Pack is a <u>bigger</u> underdog this week than they were against the Bears or the Saints. The <u>one reason</u> a point spread is what it is, is to get as many people to bet on the underdog as the favorite. The only way to get as many betters to bet on the Pack as were betting on the Lions was to give Green Bay 6.5 points. [quote name='porky88']Instead of bragging up because the Lions have the spread why not read up on how Mike Martz plans to get his offense in the endzone and how the Lions plan on defending routes across the middle.[/quote] I'm not bragging up anything. Being favored against Green Bay at home is no great accomplishment. If posters on this site would change the culture and start using the spread in Avatar/Signature bets, we'd have many more bets going on every week. That would be a good thing and make this site more fun. I think my bet with Packersfan is the only one in here this week. That's a shame.

Perhaps the spread means something to bookies and people who live in Nevada but it has pretty much nothing to do with the game itself. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>WRONG again Porky.

The Packers were in their game last week and lost. The Lions weren't in it from the start and it was over before it started. The Lions are not a good team and neither is Green Bay. Don't act like homefield advantage has nothing to do with this. It's the main reason why the Lions are favored. Last week against the Saints is different. New Orleans was coming off a win and were 1-0. It's still early in the year. The Lions are coming off a but whooping. You think all those "sleeper" picks are being regretted already. Sure sounds like it when ever someone talks about the Lions. The buzz of the city is baseball right now. The catch phrase for this game is "Someone has to win" When dealing with 2 awful teams normally the favorite is the home team and in this case the Lions are which they should be. Again does it matter? Nope as most players state, they dont' bother to read the spread. I guess when your a Lions fan though the spread is the closes you get to winning in the past few years. I'm starting to get used to it but you guys must be pros.

I honestly think that betting a signature on a win is the most simple method of doing things, the spread is best left for Pools, and Vegas.

I was watching the CBS pre-game and Boomer picked the Lions in this game and Marino, Sharpe and James Brown all agreed. It was unanimous, Detroit over Green Bay. I just thought some of you Einstein's might want to know that. :einstein:

Green Bay won and made the big plays when they needed to. Almost fumbled it away but they held onto the win. With the way you were talking Zack I hope you didn't bet the house on your Lions because their 0-3 now. :thumbsup:
Did zackman run away? The Packers did what they where supposed to do and they got it done. Next week its the Eagles then the Rams. Then bye week...Lets get some more W's.
