Green Bay Packers NFL Week 4 Betting Lines
The Green Bay Packers undoubtedly had this Week 4 tilt against the Detroit Lions circled on the schedule after their division rival bounced them from postseason contention a season ago. With both Chicago and Minnesota yet to log a win through the first three weeks of the 2023-24 NFL betting season, it looks like the King of the North will be decided by these two teams. As such, plenty will be on the line when these teams lock horns at the online sportsbook for the first of two regular season meetings. Both teams enter this tilt with injury issues, so make it a point to check all reports leading up to kick-off to see who will and won’t be made available to participate under the Thursday night lights. The NFL betting market faded the Packers with reckless abandon at the outset of last week and look to be doing the same thing in Week 4 per early week wagering reports.

Detroit Lions -1.5

Green Bay Packers Week 4 Matchup
On Thursday, September 28, 2023, the Green Bay Packers will host the Detroit Lions from Lambeau Field in Green Bay, WI. Kickoff time for Thursday Night Football is set for 8:15 p.m. ET with television coverage on PRIME VIDEO. The betting line for this pivotal NFC North tilt opened with the Packers laying 1.5-points and the total lined 46.5. Regardless of coming back to defeat the Saints in their home opener, the NFL betting market wants nothing to do with the Cheeseheads. Having taken in just 25 percent of the early bets and 20 percent of the early money, the pointspread has completely flipped with Green Bay now catching 1.5-points from linemakers. Dating back to 2019, the Pack had been installed home dogs a grand total of two times. Should the betting line remain as is, this would mark the second time this season! Green Bay clocks in 3-0-1 SU and a perfect 4-0 against the NFL odds the last four times it took back points on the “Frozen Tundra” with the over cashing in three times. Early total bettors have however faded both offenses with the O/U down to 44.5. Detroit has proven to have a vastly improved run defense and enters this tilt off accruing seven sacks. Again, check injury reports to confirm whether Aaron Jones and a number of offensive linemen will be made available for this matchup.
Green Bay Packers Week 3 Recap
Run Defense had been a major issue for the Packers defense through the first two weeks of the regular season. That however wasn’t a problem area in Sunday’s insane fourth quarter comeback that saw Green Bay rattle off 18 unanswered to log the exhilarating 18-17 outright win and cover against the New Orleans Saints as short 1-point home dogs. Per the closing odds, the end result ended up being a loser for the online sportsbook but the point spread fluctuated all week with Green Bay initially hitting the board 3-point home favorites. The win was much needed for Matt LaFleur’s squad who only last week spit the bit in the fourth quarter and allowed the Atlanta Falcons to battle back from a 24-12 third quarter deficit to score the 25-24 comeback win. In shutting down the run limiting New Orleans to 77 yards on 3.6 yards per carry and knocking Derek Carr out of the game in the third quarter, the defense put the offense in a position to win the game. Rashan Gary was a major contributor and gets a game ball due to the havoc he created that produced a team-high three sacks! Jordan Love and Co. took full advantage even though they were without their RB1 and a number of key cogs along the offensive line. Though Jayden Reed only managed to haul in three of seven targets for 63 yards, each occurred when needed most with the Packers on the comeback trail. Romeo Doubs got in the act as well hauling in the game winner with fewer than three minutes remaining. The extra point earned Green Bay the win after LaFleur elected to go for two and convert it following Love’s 1-yard touchdown plunge. Even so, the 35 combined points fell well short of the closing 41.5-point total which proved to be another loser for those booking the bets.
