Detroit vs. Green Bay Prediction
I’m with Detroit here. I get that the Titans haven’t been the best and easiest team to back this season, but in what world is the Green Bay Phoenix, a 3-win team with a joke of a coach that’s just waiting for the season to end. I’m just in no position where I think anyone should be laying points with Green Bay so give me Detroit and the points.
