Packers vs. Falcons odds, picks: Analysis, predictions, player props for Thursday Night Football in Week 3

CBS previews Thursday's Packers-Falcons game, framing Michael Penix Jr.'s return as a boost for Atlanta's offense and touting Drake London prop value against Green Bay's banged-up defense.

Sharp take

Sharp SixStart

A betting column is not a lineup card. London is rostered everywhere and started everywhere regardless of what a spread preview says, and his 5.5 and 8.9 point outputs so far are the actual concern, not the vegas total. A 43.5-point game with the Falcons as 4.5-point dogs is fine but unremarkable game-flow math, not a signal to chase. Start London because he's your guy, not because a props column found him newsworthy this week.
