Sometimes it really is that obvious. The Green Bay Packers went into their contest at Lambeau Field versus the Seattle Seahawks having covered the spread in eight straight games. In addition to that, the Packers also carried a 6-0-1 ATS record in the last seven when facing Seattle at home. So (as we know now) it was no surprise when the Packers dominated the Seahawks from start to finish in a 17-0 shutout Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field.
The total going under also seemed similarly obvious, as both the Seahawks and Packers came into the contest with six straight games where the under got the money. Well…make that seven now. And with the Packers defense seemingly getting better every week, there’s a reasonable chance that both trends just keep on keepin’ on.

BIG PAYDAY…OR THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY.
The beautiful thing about sports betting these days, is that one doesn’t even need to have an opinion on a particular game in order to find an opportunity to play. Long gone are the days where the only option is to take the underdog or favorite. In fact, one can now make plays based on the performance of one player, regardless the outcome of the game. Do you want to bet on how many tackles Devondre Campbell will have? Go ahead! Do you want to predict how many yards Alan Lazard will have? Have at it!
Yesterday was a good day for players who focused on AJ Dillon. And why not? With each and every game, and in some games with each and every touch, AJ Dillon has performed as well as a starter. In fact, some might even say he’s outperformed Aaron Jones. And now the big back will have to carry the day (at least temporarily) while Jones is out a couple weeks with a sprained MCL. Those backing “Quad Zilla” Sunday had a chance to hit for some significant prices.
WINNER: AJ Dillon to score the game’s first TD +1100
WINNER- AJ Dillon to score Packers 1st TD +650
WINNER- AJ Dillon to score at least one touchdown +200
WINNER- AJ Dillon to score at least two touchdowns +1400
LOSER- AJ Dillon to score at least three touchdowns +7500
DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS
Even though all signs pointed to this game going under, I don’t think people expected it to be THAT under. In fact, it was stated during the broadcast that the 3-0 halftime score was the lowest of this NFL season. As was anticipated, both quarterbacks showed off a nice coat of rust and at no point did it ever feel like the game was going to be high scoring. Because so few points were scored, there were some nice payouts for sharp bettors who didn’t need the luxury of hindsight.
WINNER- Packers to record first half shut out +675
WINNER- Seahawks to score exactly ZERO TDs in game +1000
WINNER- Exact number of TDs scored in the game (2) +1400
WINNER- ALL special totals offered UNDER—38 being the lowest total offered on Bovada +280
MAKE IT NINE IN A ROW?
Even with the Packers complete decimation of the point spread this year, the team from Green Bay is currently favored by a meager 2.5 points over the Minnesota Vikings. With a line that favorable, one might want to get down early in the week, before Packer money pushes it to 3-points or beyond.
