Default Why is Green Bay such a popular pick this week?

In the 128 man contest, I'm seeing Green Bay +4.5 everywhere. I don't get it.

One of the things I've learned from sports betting is that one of the hardest things to predict is when a streak will end (either a winning or losing streak). At +4.5, people seem to think GB will win or take the Titans down to the wire.

It's a fundamental mistake, imho. No one knows when the Titans streak will end, trying to predict something like this is one of the hardest things to do in sports.

What am I missing?

Good letdown spot for Tenn...short week coming off a big win against Indy. Feel they are overrated even at 7-0. Love the line move as well (have them +5' and +5). Pretty even betting and yet a 2+ pt steam down...some books showing -3 now.

Definitely seeing too many people on the boards on the Pack though which always makes me nervous...
