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?

Green Bay played a good game week 1, but Detroit has two new coordinators, it's going to take them a few weeks for them to be what they will eventually become. Detroit last season didn't hit their offensive stride until about a month into the season and that was with the same coordinators.
For tonight's game, I give GB the edge because road teams usually don't fair as well in Thursday games. I'll be interested to see how the GB defense defends against a mobile QB.
I think Washington's defense is better than they get credit for, Dan Quinn knows what he's doing, and they got a pretty decent talent infusion since he's gotten there. I think week 1 was just as about the Washington defense as it was the Giants offense.
I think GB is obviously helped by the Parsons deal, but I'm gonna take the stance (possibly because it supports my offseason thoughts) that say that game told us more about Lions, losing both coordinators and 2 pro bowl caliber OL, than the Packers.
I think Jayden Daniels and co. offer a much greater challenge for the Packers defense this week. I think Deebo keeps eating, in interior matchups Detroit didn't take advantage of enough last week.
For GB, I think they'll be forced to throw the ball more this week, and while I still don't feel comfortable projecting whom that will be to, I do think Love will be start worthy.
I think Washington wins a close one.

I remind you last years playoff score was WAS 45 - DET 31. So DET has been equally handed recent losses by GB and WAS. This should be a good game. WAS needs to score early to quiet the Pack fans. If we get down early, I worry the emotional energy won't be there to win an away game on a short week.

I know who Detroit is. I understand their challenges, but that was an *** kicking. It's week one so I can give them the benifit of the doubt and they'll be ready to play on Thanksgiving and not be embarrassed quite as badly at home.
Perhaps my blowout prediction in a previous post was a little homer. I'll revise that after thinking a little more about the game and the fact that it's on a Thursday.

Yeah, maybe Detroit saw their window come and go. Washington along with Green Bay may have both moved ahead and into the cream of the NFC with Philly.
It's gonna be a fun game and I'm excited for it. I do think Washington is a very good team and obviously Daniels is the real deal. It could be a letdown game after a big emotional win vs a Detroit team that's been tough for Green Bay the last few outings. I just don't see it though, especially at home. I do think Green Bay keeps the momentum going tonight with a convincing win over Washington. I hope being Thursday doesn't limit either team and we see both at their best.

I genuinely don't know what to expect from this game. I think the GB defense is real, but I also think Daniels is special. I think GB offensive play calling is elite, and Was defense is under rated.
Give me a two score difference through most of the game ending with a minimum two lead changes in the fourth quarter.

The most important position in football is, obviously, the quarterback. The second most important position is, IMO, defensive end. There is no current better example of this than Micah Parsons. He literally changes the entire game.

That one week where he was the super sleeper stud find. Then he dropped like 4 passes.
