Football Gambling – Detroit versus Green Bay
Football wagering woes continue for the Lions although they’ve had more than their share of negative luck to commence the 2010 football gambling year. Football betting oddsmakers were disappointed in the way the Green Bay Packers self destructed at Chicago last Monday evening in their 1st football gambling loss of 2010.
Kickoff is set for 1:05 PM Eastern and a FOX broadcast and Green Bay will host Detroit on Sunday. Green Bay opened as a 14.5 point favorite and with an over/under of 45.5 at the online sports book.
Ever since their starting day loss at Chicago when a winning touchdown pass at the gun was overturned due to an obscure rule that is hardly ever enforced, it is been all downhill for the Lions as they’ve got a NFL Sports Gambling record of 0-3 straight up although they are 2-1 against the spread. 2009 NFL number 1 total draft pick Matt Stafford is out at quarterback until the middle of October with a shoulder injury and the offense ranks 22nd in the NFL as Shaun Hill has filled in.
As Detroit ranks 30th in the NFL, defense has been a problem.
Green Bay has a NFL wagering record of 2-1 both straight up and vs the spread with all three of their games going under the total. They are arriving from a 20-17 loss at Chicago in which they acquired 18 penalties for 152 yards, granted a blocked field goal, and had a 62 yard punt return against them to lose in spite of a significant yardage advantage.
