The Last Match Of Week 2
Green Bay Packers vs Detroit Lions, 1.15am GMT
The Green Bay Packers (0-1) and Detroit Lions (0-1) will finish up the NFL’s Week 2 slate on “Monday Night Football” from Lambeau Field.
After being blown out by New Orleans 38-3 in Week 1, Green Bay looks to bounce back on Monday night against the Lions. In perhaps the biggest upset of the opening week, Rodgers threw for just 133 yards and two interceptions, while the defense was torched for five touchdown passes by Jameis Winston and the Saints. On the other side of the ball, Detroit displayed resilience with a strong second half covering as nine-point underdogs in a 41-33 loss against San Francisco.
The Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions played in the first Monday Night Football game in NFL history. That contest, a 14-10 Packers victory in 1964, set the stage for ABC to start airing games on weeknights six years later.
Our Picks:
Packers -11.0 @5/6
Total Points 50+ @21/20
Davante Adams (GB) 2+ Touchdowns @3/1
Let’s hope this game finishes the NFL week on the same theme we saw all weekend. That being, Week 1 results often did not carry over to Week 2. Some amazing turnarounds to say the least.
