Lions vs. Packers prop bets

  • Sam LaPorta OVER 44.5 receiving yards (-114)
  • Jordan Love UNDER 20.5 completions (-136)
  • Aidan Hutchinson OVER 1 Sack (+160)

Sam LaPorta OVER 44.5 receiving yards (-114)

Sam LaPorta has gone over this total in his two most recent games, and fell just six yards short of going OVER in Week 1 against the Chiefs. Despite being a rookie, he's second on the Lions in both receptions and targets heading into Week 4.

I don't think oddsmakers have adjusted for just how good LaPorta is, so I'm going to keep backing the OVER on his receiving yards until the total gets to a mark I think it deserves to be at.

Jordan Love UNDER 20.5 completions (-136)

Jordan Love has thrown seven touchdowns to just one interception this season, but he has one glaring issue; his completion percentage. He's completing just 53.1% of passes through the first three weeks, and he's only gone over 20.5 completions once in last week's comeback win against the Saints.

The Lions also enter the game with the 10th best opponent completion percentage, keeping teams to completing just 62.71% of passes.

Aidan Hutchinson OVER 1 Sack (+160)

Aidan Hutchinson has been a work horse for the Lions offense, and he's coming off a two-sack performance against the Atlanta Falcons. Now, he gets to face a Packers offensive line that has given up a sack in each of its first three games.

At +160, there's great value on Thursday night for him to record at least 1.5 sacks for the second straight game.

Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.
