00:00Now, from the Packers side of things, this game was basically, essentially everything

00:06they wanted to see coming off of that loss versus the Lions.

00:10Remember, back on a couple Thursdays ago, not this past Thursday, but the Thursday before,

00:14so they did this mini-buy to prepare coming off a divisional loss against the Lions, got

00:18time off, time to prepare for this, and it went picture perfect.

00:23Defense was firing on all cylinders, offense was moving the ball up and down the field

00:27without any resistance from the Seahawks.

00:30They scored touchdowns.

00:31Jordan Love looked good, didn't throw any picks, didn't have any sacks.

00:36Josh Jacobs continued to do his thing.

00:38Love overall, 20-27, 229, the two touchdowns from him, Josh Jacobs, 26 carries from Josh

00:44Jacobs is absolutely phenomenal, 94 yards, the one touchdown on the ground.

00:49As I noted at halftime, Josh Jacobs' line was sitting at 125 rushing, that is way, way

00:54too high.

00:55And again, the game got to a point where they didn't need to have Josh Jacobs in there.

01:00And seeing him push to 125 yards is just way, way too much.

01:05But it is good to note that seeing Manuel Wilson involved happens as the game ends,

01:10but for the majority of the game, Josh Jacobs is controlling almost all of the actual running

01:15back carries.

01:16We saw Jayden Reed get involved in the running game, Jets reach those kind of plays, but

01:19from actual running backs from the Packers, it is all, all going to Josh Jacobs, which

01:25is just fantastic to see.

01:26Now, when it comes to the receiving room, this has kind of been the issue with the Packers

01:30all season.

01:32We saw Dobbs get the two touchdowns, we have Watson, we have Jayden Reed, obviously, or

01:38Dontayvion Wicks, we have Tucker Craft, Jacobs is becoming more of a role in the passing

01:43game.

01:44No one had a huge game.

01:46And from a prop perspective, from a fantasy perspective, that is super frustrating.

01:51Christian Watson, three catches, 56 yards, Josh Jacobs, 4 for 42, Dobbs, 3 for 40 with

01:56the two touchdowns, Tucker Craft, 2 for 34, Reed with 5 for 34, and Dontayvion Wicks,

02:012 for 14.

02:03From a real-life football perspective, that is great for the Packers.

02:07It is.

02:08They have all these options, all these different weapons around the offense, they can throw

02:11the ball deep to Watson, they have underneath routes, they can do play-action, whatever

02:14it might be.

02:15But from a betting perspective, the Packers are really tough because there's no one or

02:19two dominant receivers.

02:21It's almost like the receiving core is whoever has the hot hand, and if Craft is open and

02:24they play action, they can get the ball deep down to Watson, which we saw with the catch

02:28on the sideline, he tapped his toes, that's great.

02:31But the betting actually makes it really tough for the Packers.

02:34So this is always something that we can monitor.

02:36The best option from the Packers is always going to be Josh Jacobs, and frankly, one

02:40of the best props around is probably going to be total carries, total rushing attempts

02:44from Josh Jacobs, then we look to the yards, then we can take a shot on some players in

02:49the receiving core just because there are so many, and we don't know who's the dominant

02:52one on a week-to-week basis.

02:54So Sunday Night Football, Packers win 30-13.
