00:00There will be a heavy dosage of the ground game in Detroit, Sonic and Knuckles, that's

00:09David Montgomery and Jameer Gibbs for the Lions, Josh Jacobs, overwhelmingly productive

00:15this year for Green Bay.

00:17As you compare the backs tonight, who do you like the most?

00:20Well, ultimately, I don't want to go to any of their touchdowns.

00:24I've said it before, I don't like laying minus odds on touchdowns.

00:27I think Montgomery and or Gibbs, I would lean towards Montgomery in the receiving game

00:31is something I actually really do like tonight.

00:33We see him breaking off, you know, multiple receptions, two, three receptions in a lot

00:37of his recent games.

00:38He's very often going for 20 or 30 yards.

00:40He's just a great runner.

00:42Once he has the ball in his hands, he's picking up those extra hard yards, which I certainly

00:45like.

00:46You know, Josh Jacobs doesn't play a massive role in the passing game historically, but

00:50he does have some good production this year, and especially if we're not expecting a whole

00:53lot from the Lions, they're allowing only 94 rushing yards per game, which is the best

00:58in the league.

00:59I could see, certainly, Josh Jacobs playing a role, especially considering that Romeo

01:03Dobbs is out.

01:04So the offense from the Packers tonight, I think we're going to see a bit different than

01:07what we would normally see from them, which is Josh Jacobs pushing for 90, 100 yards,

01:11and then a modest passing game overall.

01:12I think we're going to see that flip.

01:13It's going to be a modest running game tonight, and actually more passing production from

01:16basically everyone involved.
