THE MAIN EVENT: Can the Pack make Mayfield miserable?
EXPERT PICKS: Jay and Daniel hope to fatten your wallets
KEY FACTS: The shine is off a matchup that sparkled ✨ in September. But the Pack should be motivated by improving their crummy 3-3 mark at Lambeau Field and the Rams are – true fact – looking to improve to 2-0 under QB Baker Mayfield. Also notable considering the SoCal opponent: Temps will be in the teens.
TRENDING: If you’re a “trend is your friend” bettor, note these: The Pack have covered eight straight in the series, and the favorite is 10-2 in the last 12.
REVERSE LINE MOVEMENT ALERT: Although money has poured in on the Packers, the line has dropped ⤵️ from 8. That suggests our traders are comfortable with the liability.
EXPERT PICKS
PointsBet capper Daniel Parisi went 2-0 Sunday, hitting on Saquon Barkley's rushing total and squeaking out the Falcons +4.5. Here's what he and NBC lead betting analyst Jay Croucher like tonight.
THE BRAIN
Packers -7.5 over Rams (-107)
"The Rams don't have enough quality skill position players to keep pace with Green Bay's rising offense."
Kyren Williams Over 20.5 Rushing Yards (+105)
"I'm expecting the rookie to get rotated in against a weak Packers' rush defense."
THE NEWBIE
Packers -7.5 over Rams (-107)
"Coming off the bye, Green Bay's defense will be wound up to dispel the Baker narrative and control the game's tempo."
Christian Watson Anytime TD (+150)
"Rodgers loves familiarity -- and Watson is his hot new red-zone guy."

Our three faves:
Rams QB Baker Mayfield ⬇️ 190.5 Passing Yards (-110): If Brock Purdy is “Mr. Irrelevant,” Mayfield is “Mr. Inconsistent.” This line has dropped 10 yards with the expectation he will be a sacrificial lamb at Lambeau.
Rams WR Ben Skowronek ⬆️ 30.5 Receiving Yards (-120): The Northwestern/Notre Dame product exploded last week with Mayfield at the helm: 7 catches, 89 yards.
Packers WR Christian Watson Anytime TD (+150): Aaron Rodgers’ new favorite weapon is a touchdown magnet.
One Colorado bettor put $20,000 on Chargers -3 (-105) against the Titans for a potential total payout of $39,048.
Hardcore college football fans and bettors will be treated Tuesday to Boise’s blue turf and Boca Raton’s palm trees. Wednesday’s game moves to the Superdome in N’awlins. Here is our investment advice:
[$40] San Jose State vs Eastern Michigan Under 52.5 (2:30 p.m. ET): San Jose State yields just 20.3 ppg, and the Eagles attempt a meaty 38.5 rushes per game.
[$30] Toledo (-4.5) over Liberty (6:30 p.m. ET): Liberty has lost three straight while Toledo’s defense dominated Ohio in the MAC title game.
[$30] South Alabama (-4.5) over Western Kentucky (8 p.m. ET Wed): South Alabama has won five straight, and we believe the Jaguars will be highly motivated to win their first bowl in school history.
