Real NFL games taking place this week mean that it’s time to start making picks once again for said games. Here at Acme Packing Company, our staff is back to making our usual straight-up picks with a handful of writers picking against the spread, all with a little help from our friends at TallySight.
The Green Bay Packers open up this week in Minnesota, playing the Vikings inside a fan-less U.S. Bank Stadium. Equally important is the fact that the Vikings will not have the services of two of their intended starting defensive linemen; end Danielle Hunter landed on injured reserve this week while newly-signed nose tackle Michael Pierce chose to opt out of the season under the NFL’s COVID-19 provisions.
