Aaron Rodgers has overcome a lot of obstacles in his career, and still plays with a chip on his shoulder from falling to No. 24 in the 2005 NFL draft.

He'll have some more motivation next Sunday at the Los Angeles Rams, courtesy of Las Vegas oddmakers.

The SuperBook at the Westgate Las Vegas opened the Green Bay Packers as 8.5-point underdogs in Week 8.

Pick the Rams, we have no chance.

I was expecting more of a spread. Wonder how that changes by game time

Pack will hand the Rams their first L. I think Nerd was first with this prediction so I am not alone; recognizing the Packers often play up or down to their opponents.

I think this is a good thing. Provide a little extra motivation coming out of the bye week.

What more motivation do they need other then wanting to at least have a chance at winning the division.
They need to WAKE UP!!!

Well, we were 9.5 point favorites over the 49er's at home and barely won.
That tells me something that I don't want to envision.

dfosterf (2h) : OTC has increased Packers cap room to over 32 mil

Martha Careful (4h) : RIP Junior Bridgeman. An excellent businessman and NBA er

Zero2Cool (6h) : It's better to have $17m to use on players who will be on the field. That's why trade/release is talked

Zero2Cool (6h) : post june is $7m cap hit with $17m saving

Zero2Cool (6h) : oops meant $10m cap hit

Zero2Cool (6h) : And pre june is $10m savings

Zero2Cool (6h) : Can't make him play.

dhazer (6h) : I am curious why the big need to release Jaire, we have 29 million cap space we arent spending and would only gain $6 million/ make him play

Zero2Cool (7h) : Joey Bosa signed with Bills?

dfosterf (7h) : What they are offering is a left over case of Leinies from the Chippewa Falls plant

Zero2Cool (7h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 gets you Jaire and our 3rd

Zero2Cool (7h) : they give us those five, or even first four, they can have Jaire.

Zero2Cool (7h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 and 136 are only ones worth having of theirs.

dfosterf (7h) : What they don't have is cap space, at least presently at 5.6 mil

dfosterf (8h) : Poor bastards only have 11

Zero2Cool (8h) : Ravens ain't got crap for picks.

Zero2Cool (8h) : Aaron Rodgers is choosing between Steelers and Giants. The Vikings are officially out on him, per RapSheet

dfosterf (8h) : Current cap space 29.6 million.

dfosterf (8h) : Hobbs 2025 cap hit just under 6 million. Banks 2025 cap hit just over 9 million

Mucky Tundra (15h) : beast, this is news to me! Tell me more about these, "draft picks." They seem mighty mysterious! 😉

beast (17h) : Yes, the Ravens have draft picks

dfosterf (18h) : Good luck to him.

Zero2Cool (19h) : Eric Stokes signs with Raiders

Martha Careful (20h) : Tyler Linderbaum C

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Cap space?

Zero2Cool (20h) : Do Ravens have anything we'd even entertain to have?

Mucky Tundra (22h) : I've seen trade ideas of Jaire going to the Ravens all offseason

beast (23h) : A probably false rumor is suggesting CB Jaire Alexander is being traded to the Ravens, again probably false

beast (23h) : Commanders might have a dominant offense the next 3 years at least

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : San Francisco 49ers announced they have released DL Leonard Floyd.

Mucky Tundra (11-Mar) : Er getting traded twice like that

Mucky Tundra (11-Mar) : Huh, LT Laremy Tunsil traded from Houston to Washington. Never heard of a top OT getting traded in his career like that

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Minnesota Vikings cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. is returning on a three-year, $66 million deal

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : Damn

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Saints are re-signing DE Chase Young to a three-year, $51 million deal worth up to $57 million.

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : 49ers releasing FB Juszcyk any interest?

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : digits of four

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : four digits

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Eh, don't think so. better to split

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : on new site, would Fan Shout and GameDay Chat show same messages?

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : The Hall of Fame stuff probably came from a scout as Zero said; at this point though it's hard to see them moving ZT from RT

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : Regarding ZT at C, Gute had said he felt C was ZTs best position after he was drafted.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : LB Oren Burks to sign a 2-year, $5M deal with the Bengals.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Based on how it was worded at the time, probably scout.

beast (10-Mar) : I don't think the media person ever told the public the source, but Gute or LaFleur did say they thought Tom has earned his spot at OT

beast (10-Mar) : I think it was supposedly unnamed Packers source

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Was that Gute or Lefleur or someone else?
