Baltimore Ravens at Green Bay Packers Betting Odds, Picks, and Predictions for Week 17
Here's a little insider secret: when you get TOO good predicting a specific team, you get relegated to covering their rival. Of course, I'm kidding...OUR Chicago Bears are just too damn good, and were moved to Sunday night, where they are in good hands with Juan. The team they usurped for NFC North supremacy, Green Bay, is in my sights this week.
The circumstances of this game are very interesting and unpredictable. Jordan Love is not playing, Lamar Jackson is unlikely to play, Green Bay has already clinched a playoff spot, while the Ravens are playing for their minuscule playoff lives. There are a lot of variables to this one, so let's dig in.

Baltimore Ravens vs. Green Bay Packers Betting Odds
- Spread: Packers -3 (+100 Caesars, DraftKings, FanDuel), Ravens +3 (-115 Fanatics)
- Moneyline: Packers -146 (FanDuel), Ravens +135 (BetMGM)
- Total: Over 37.5 (-118 FanDuel), Under 38.5 (-110 Fanatics)
When this opened last week, Baltimore was -1.5. After Jackson got hurt, it immediately flipped to Green Bay -2.5, and it rose as high as 5.5, before settling around the 3 mark after the Jordan Love confirmation. The total opened at 43.5, and has steadily dropped to the current number, as the QBs and collective motivation have dropped. Both the spread and total have nearly 50/50 bet and money splits.

Ravens at Packers Betting Picks
If I wasn't assigned this game, I'd advise people to stay away from it. There are just too many variables to account for. The backup QB advantage is clearly with Green Bay, but their motivation has been lowered with Detroit's loss to Minnesota on Thursday.
The Ravens can still make the playoffs, but their chances sit at 6.8 percent in what has been a very strange season in Baltimore. I can't decide on a side, but I'm going to zig while everyone is zagging, and jump on the value with the Over. I see both teams playing free and low-stress with little defensive resistance in both directions.
