Green Bay at New England

The New England Patriots are being called the best team in football and will host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football.

The latest NFL sports betting odds posted by BetPhoenix have yet to post a line on this game, although the Patriots are assured to be favorites.

The Packers outstanding quarterback and leader, Aaron Rodgers, left the game against the Detroit Lions with a concussion. If he is unable to play Matt Flynn will get the call in New England.

The Patriots are dismantling every team they have faced of late so the Packers will struggle without Rodgers and have to rely on their defense.

Rookie cornerback Devin McCourty, did not practice on Wednesday as he tries to recover from a sore rib. Patriot’s receiver Deion Branch was limited in the team's Wednesday practice with a knee injury and is just one of a handful of players that are banged up.

Quarterback Tom Brady and defensive linemen Ron Brace, Myron Pryor, Mike Wright and Gerard Warren are all suffering from nagging injuries. It is more than likely that all of these players could see playing time and Brady is assured to play, but the list warrants watching.

The Road team is 3-0-1 ATS in their last four meetings and the Patriots are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight home games against a team with a winning road record.

The Packers are 17-6-1 ATS in their last 24 games after allowing less than 15 points in their previous game and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a loss.

The Packers have a very good defense and that can keep this game close regardless who is at the helm for the Packers, although with Rodgers playing QB the packers can win the game.
