Our favorite NFL best bets and player props for Thursday Night Football, where the Detroit Lions visit the Green Bay Packers.
The Packers' defense has gotten its entirely fair share of criticisms over the years under Joe Barry, but if there's one small victory they've typically walked away with is that they rarely let tight ends beat them.
Dating back to last year, they have allowed a tight end to reel in five or more catches just five times in 20 games. Two of those have strangely been to Cole Kmet, who seemingly comes to play against Green Bay —despite having an otherwise mediocre career thus far — reaching that mark in half of the last six games he has played against Green Bay.
The primary tight end opposite of the Packers this Thursday is Sam LaPorta, the second-round pick from this year's draft. LaPorta made history in Week 3, becoming the first tight end to reel in five or more catches in each of his first three games and also tallying the most catches by a tight end in their first three games.
His line is coincidentally set at 4.5 receptions, with a healthy amount of juice required to back the under. That may shy away many bettors from backing the Under, but given the Packers' proficiency at defending tight ends, it is worth a look.
