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

CBS Sports frames Thursday's Packers-Falcons as a betting spot built around Penix and London against a banged-up Green Bay defense, with a 42.5 total and Atlanta as 4.5-point dogs.

Michael Penix Jr. returns under center to revive Atlanta's offense, creating prime betting value on the spread, and Drake London player props against an injury-hit Green Bay squad

Sharp take

Sharp SixStart

A betting column is not a lineup card. London is rostered everywhere already and his 22 sharp rank doesn't need a Vegas total to justify a start. Two games of 8.9 and 5.5 FFPC points are the actual data point here, not a preview writer's optimism about an injury-hit secondary. Start London because he's a locked WR1, not because a gambling column liked the matchup.

Speculative — this reads ahead of what the source reported.
