These contests are intended to be fun as you’re watching the game. It’s incredibly difficult to get a real edge as there are so few options, and in MME contests, there are often many duplicate lineups. One play or one penalty can change the entire outcome of the game.
Game Strategy
- Over/Under: 44.5
- Spread: Packers -1.5
- Raiders Implied Team Total: 21.5
- Packers Implied Team Total: 23
This projects to be a close game between two average teams. All combinations are in play but I like leaning into the home team in this one with Jimmy Garoppolo expected back from his concussion.
Injury Roundup
- Jimmy Garoppolo is in concussion protocol but is expected to be cleared.
Captain Consideration:
Las Vegas Raiders
Quarterback
Jimmy Garoppolo - Captain/Flex
In Weeks 1-3 under Jimmy Garoppolo the Raiders' offense ranked 16th in EPA/Play and ninth in Dropback EPA. The passing offense is working under Garoppolo and he gets to play at home against a Packers defense that ranks 27th in EPA/Play Allowed, 22nd in Dropback EPA Allowed, and 30th in Success Rate.
Running Back/Wide Receiver/Tight End/Defense/Kicker Choices
Davante Adams - Captain/Flex
Davante Adams remains that dude. He ranks third in targets per game (12.5), fourth in receptions per game (8.3), and ninth in receiving yards per game (99.3). He's a must-play at home in this favorable matchup.
