COMMANDERS at PACKERS
8:15 p.m., Packers by 3 ½, 48 ½
HANK’S HONEYS: The Commanders lived for these video games final yr, persistently lifting their recreation towards the strongest competitors. Inexperienced Bay actually matches that invoice. The Packers made an enormous assertion towards the Lions in Week 1, trying each bit the Tremendous Bowl contender behind QB Jordan Love. Usually, underdogs are engaging on a brief week, significantly a group as stable because the Commanders. However throw within the prime time environment of Lambeau Discipline and this may be a hill too tall for the guests.
The Commanders’ protection held the Giants and not using a landing final week, however that was the Giants. There are holes in that unit that Inexperienced Bay’s balanced assault can exploit.
The large query is will Micah Parsons, simply two video games into his Packers profession, be a recreation wrecker? Dan Quinn, Parsons’ previous defensive coordinator in Dallas, is aware of that he is among the few go rushers with the pace to chase down Jayden Daniels. A watch-popping 4.5 of his 12 sacks final yr come towards the rookie sensation. The Packers moved him round final week, looking for mismatches. Washington’s O-line was caved in a brand new instances by the Giants and RT Josh Conerly Jr. could also be that pigeon.
IF I WERE A BETTING MAN: Packers and the over.
