Game Strategy
- Over/Under: 44.5
- Spread: Packers -1.5
- Raiders Implied Team Total: 21.5

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.
