AS some of you know I’ve already posted the Packers -2.5 for tonight and I’m adding a prop from the same game.
Last season the Packers acquired an athletic tight end to help the Packers down the middle of the field. That helped in Jared Cook, but it wasn’t the man they really wanted.
One year on and Martellus Bennett gives Rodgers the almost exact replica of his old tight end Jermichael Finlay. Bennett is a mismatch for most defences, and Seattle’s cover 3 defense leaves a lot of space in the middle of the field.
Cue Cobb and Bennett to find the gaps in the zones. This total could be achieved from one reception with a bit of RAC (run after catch).
