NFL Betting Trends
Green Bay
The Packers are 3-8 against the spread against a winning team and 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games in November.
Miami
Miami is just 1-8 against the spread in their last nine road games and 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games in November.
Prediction:
Green Bay will welcome a return home after playing against the Pats and Rams on the road. Miami is a defense that Aaron Rodgers should be able to pick apart and put up a lot of points on. Miami has its abilities as well, and could find some success against the Green Bay defense, but I will definitely side with Rodgers over Osweiler in a shootout. Feel good about the Packers despite the big spread.
