The current point spreads that I'm seeing right now range from +4.5 to +5.5 so I made the poll spread 5. Over/Under is right at 48 points.
What this means is that with a point spread of +5...
A winning bet on the Jaguars means that they either win or lose by less than 5 points.
A winning bet on the Packers means that they win by more than 5 points.
Over/Under is total points scored in the game.
If you were putting money on the game, how would you bet?
I'm in a spread league.
At the moment I have green bay covering the spread.
I think we lose by 5 or 6. I fear we won't cover based on missed feild goals.

I'm still kind of on the fence. The homer in me thinks that the Jaguars will cover the spread, but at this point I'm not so sure without seeing either team play a real game this season. I'm also going for the over.
The Packers to win by 14+ is 4/1 at the moment.

Yeah, the first couple weeks of the season can be hard to predict.
For me, my lack of confidence in our kicking game is what is making me lean towards taking the packers.
Now come Sunday when I have a drink and am tending the coals of my smoker, I may have a change of mind!

You better be roasting some green chili while you're at it! :thumbsup:
I see this game as being a game of touchdowns with little to do with the kicking game. Extra points are a concern, but I don't see that as being a factor regarding the outcome.
I'd really like to say the Jags pull this one out, but I just don't know. The first game of the season is so hard to judge. GB is perennially good, I believe JAX is improved but to what extent. This is one instance I went with GB to cover but hope I'm wrong.
Also took the over.
I would take the Jags and 5.
I really like the over. I wouldn't bet the spread, but if I did you can bet it wouldn't be on Jax.
Jags cover easily, in fact they win outright in my opinion and I'd take the under.
Honestly, I picked Packers and over if I am putting money on it. I want the Jags to win, and hope they do, but really not sure against GB!
I'm putting my money on beer, it's a win/win.
I don't bet on football. Like last nights game, I thought for sure the Panthers would beat the snot out of the Broncos.

It's actually that time of year here in albuquerue!! The smell of roasted chile is every where. This is my favorite time of year.
I have the Packers winning 24-20.
48 points is a tough line to pick O/U. Vegas are geniuses.
I just checked the odds a few minutes ago.
Greenbay -5
O/U 47 points
So the line has moved very little
