00:02 - Big news for the Green Bay Packers
00:05 entering tonight from a health perspective,
00:06 offensively DRS, Aaron Jones and Christian Watson
00:11 are set to play for the Green Bay Packers.
00:13 - Yes, and that's good news for them
00:15 because they need some weapons here on offense.
00:16 They were down 17-0 at the break last week,
00:18 a miracle comeback, 18 points in the fourth quarter.
00:21 You can't really rely on that type of offense
00:23 to say, okay, let's just snap our fingers
00:25 and hope we get something.
00:26 So getting Aaron Jones back,
00:27 who I think overall is their best weapon,
00:29 and Christian Watson, who was really coming into his own
00:31 late in the season last year as an effective wide receiver
00:34 in the NFL, but here's the issue with that.
00:35 Their hamstrings here,
00:37 and coming into my handicap a little bit later,
00:39 I'm gonna use that to my advantage.
00:40 What do we know if they start the game?
00:42 Well, at least we know they're in the game.
00:44 If they get injured,
00:45 when's the chance that they're gonna get injured?
00:46 Probably early on or in the first half here,
00:49 or if they make it into the second half,
00:51 that could be a bonus here.
00:52 So my handicapping advantage here for the Green Bay Packers,
00:55 probably coming more in the first half,
00:56 but having said this,
00:57 it's a shame this is on a Thursday night.
00:59 There's way too many question marks here.
01:01 When we talk about handicapping football games
01:02 and how we think things are gonna play out,
01:04 hey man, Aaron Jones is gonna get how many carries?
01:06 Yeah, we don't know.
01:07 Is Christian Watson gonna be in
01:09 for a red zone packages alone?
01:10 Yeah, we don't know.
01:11 You flip it over to Detroit here,
01:13 Montgomery, is he gonna play?
01:14 Probably not in this game.
01:15 Taylor Decker, probably not in this game.
01:17 So sometimes you are going to have to watch
01:19 when you get all the way down to what?
01:21 Tonight's a primetime game, 6.30-ish
01:24 for those final inactive reports,
01:26 and then you can probably make a decision.
01:28 It's a tough one to handicap for sure though, Ben.
