Minn @ GB
 

Monday Night Football: Minnesota @ Green Bay
Minnesota +3.5 +101

Does this look like a good bet to anybody else?

you're out of your element here dude. i actually like GB, just wish i could find it at -3. IMO, looks like Minnesota got lucky with their win over the Giants. they did not score an offensive TD. less than 20 yds rushing! meanwhile GB got a solid win against Atlanta. just my first instinct and i should probaly look beyond today's games.

They absalutely did, there's no question about it. Minnesota sucks pretty badly. But then again, so do the Packers. Coming into this week, there were a lot of people who were calling them the worst team in the league, and I can't really say I blamed them. Granted, they pulled off a sweet victory this week, but they're nowhere near that good, and playing at Lambeaux Field just doesn't mean what it used to.

Well, some of the squarer shops are already shading towards MIN. Bowmans has +4. The shops with squarer lines are usually pretty good at gauging public opinion. Of course +3.5 +101 and +4 -110 are pretty much the same line. So, I might just be babbling [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] .

so we're talking about two bad teams. home team gives 3 points so i guess the line is about right. GB did look good against a Falcon team that is supposed to be among the best in the NFC.

Really? +3.5 +101 looks more appealing to me. I'm really not an expert sports better by any means, so I could be wrong, but I would rather take that line than +4 -110.

You are probably right. Going from the 3.5 to 4 is probably worth about 6-7 cents. So, the "same line" would be +3.5 +101 and +4 -105. Somebody with better math than me would be able to tell me how many cents this is worth.

Ehh, I know Lambeau isn't that intimidating anymore but I'd expect the Pack to be real fired up after the last 2 games vs. Minn. Seems like a pretty straightforward "take the home team in the battle of 2 bad teams" game, which nobody seemed to do in the first game this year when everybody picked GB, who was inexplicably a road favorite in that game.
