Pick: 3 units ATS: Green Bay Packers -1 (-120)
This game features two teams having very disappointing seasons. However, Green Bay still has something to play for, while Jacksonville does not. The Packers still have a chance at tying Minnesota for the NFC North title. The Vikings still have to play Arizona, Atlanta, and the New York Giants, a very brutal schedule. It is possible that Green Bay could win out, while Minnesota could lose their remaining three games. In addition, Jacksonville has given up on this season more than any other team, including Detroit, Cincinnati, and Cleveland. This team has shown absolutely no fight or promise. The Jaguars suffered a devastating injury as well, losing running back Fred Taylor for the season. His injury just adds to an already lengthy list of players gone for the season, especially on offense. Quarterback David Garrard has not been able to carry this team, and he won’t be able to in this game either. Green Bay has lost five out of their last six games, but four of those losses were in the last few minutes of the game. However, Jacksonville’s losses haven’t been competitive, getting hammered by Minnesota, Tennessee, Houston, and Chicago. The Jaguars have little to no home field advantage, as they are only 1-5 at home. This selection is mainly a play against Jacksonville, as Green Bay will get an easy win.
