Packers vs. Lions Betting Line – Week 3 Fantasy Picks: Jordy Nelson

The Packers vs. Lions betting line had been coming in at Detroit -1.  This one was going up fast and had moved to -3 at Bookmaker.eu here. Green Bay was getting 70% of the backing at this number.  It will not be going up any further.  We also have some Fantasy picks below.

The Green Bay Packers are 5-1 both Straight Up and Against The Spread in their last six games against the Detroit Lions.  As such it would seem like a no-brainer to pay special attention to the Packers here as a dog.

Detroit has not fared as well Against The Spread in recent games where they are 1-5 ATS in their last six.

Matthew Stafford – “The Packers allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2013, setting up Stafford nicely in what could develop into a division shootout. “ - ESPN.com

If you were thinking about selecting the Packers Aaron Rodgers, think again.  He has a mediocre history versus the Lions in his past three meetings (14 fantasy points per game) while the Lions defense allowed the 9^th fewest Fantasy points last week.

This week’s top Fantasy NFL Picks (Packers) –

Jordy Nelson - “Nelson was targeted 16 times Sunday, the most Aaron Rodgers has ever targeted a receiver in a game. Nelson averaged 9.7 yards after the catch on Sunday, while the rest of the Packers' receivers averaged 4.3 YAC. The Lions allowed the third-most fantasy points to wideouts in 2013, as if Nelson's investors needed more encouragement.” – ESPN.com
