My mind has been on other things, I'm sure it has for many
It will be nice to have a break tonight for 3 hours and watch some football

I have some exposure to this game. Hoping for a lot of goodness from Love and Jacobs.

Real excited to see the Packers keep the momentum going. They have an opportunity to put an exclamation point after last week's big win.
Packers D looks absolutely lethal and Love stays surgical spreading the ball to the open man taking what he's given.
31 Green Bay
17 Washington

I'll be there, looking forward to the Sterling Sharpe halftime event.
Both defenses just played 60+ snaps on Sunday. Give Josh Jacobs 25 carries tonight.

Green Bay is really good. I would give them about even odds with Philly to win the NFC.
Their defense does look dominant and Micah is just ramping up. Their offense is balanced and really good as well. LaFleur does not get enough credit as a playcaller, gameplanner, and overall head coach. Still cannot believe how much offensive coaching talent was on that Shanny staff here in WAS. (McVay, Kyle, KOC, and LaFleur) are consistently amongst the best playcallers in the NFL. With all the injuries this offense had last year, including Jordan Love, they still finished 3rd in explosive plays and 4th in offensive efficiency. And the last time he matched up with Dan Quinn, he put up over 40 pts in doing whatever they wanted to destroy DAL in a road playoff win.
I'm also a believer in Jordan Love. Targeted him in drafts this year but didnt end up with him. Think he will return very good value. He doesnt force targets to any WRs and spreads the ball around within what again is a great offensive scheme. He seems to have overcome the turnover issues that plagued him before. And Josh Jacobs is about as good as it gets at the RB position outside of the truly elite RBs like Saquon, Henry, Bijan, etc.
That said, I feel VERY good as a Commander/Skins fan coming into this game. I think the defense has improved more than people think. The defensive line needs to build on its play last week and the Packers have two starting OL questionable which should help. The secondary has gone from a major weakness to what I would say is now a strength on this team. I think the offense is also improved and just scratching its potential. Daniels and the passing game were slightly off last week so I'm hoping they find much better rhythm this week. Obviously not an easy task b/c the Packer D looks like an elite unit at all levels. But I do think there is some vulnerability in the secondary. The pass rush might cover that up but I'm hoping JD5 can buy time with his legs and hit on some explosive plays. I also think they can run the ball, but that's another challenge with this GB front.
WAS will need to win the turnover battle and limit GB's explosive plays to pull off the upset. I think they can/will do it. If GB comes out and dominates them (which could certainly happen) then so be it. They are the deeper and better team.
But let's FN go. Have confidence WAS can win in multiple type of game scripts. Dan Quinn and Joe Whitt will have to figure some things out. As will Kliff on the offensive side. Huge challenge early in the season.
WAS- 24
GB- 20

WTH? Line opens at Was +1.5 and you can now get it at +3.5…,Holy recency bias, Batman.
Despite the steady offseason drumbeat of WAS regression, and the respective performances of the teams last week, I’ll gladly take the Commies getting 3 and a hook and clap back at some prime Vegas trolling.

Totally agree!!! Went big for me at +3.5. Almost 60% of the money was on Was until some late GB money came in, but it’s still around 58%

I'm not saying Washington can't lose this game, but I would be shocked if they lost by 2 TDs.

I'll bet most were shocked at how the Packers handled the lions last week too. No disrespect to Washington, but this Green Bay team is special. Guess we'll see in a few hours, but I'm giving the points all day everyday in this one at 3.5.

Drafted Prescott and Love in one league, thinking about starting Love tonight
-Oh wait, it's Thursday Night, nobody ever scores on Thursday Night, yes/no?
