Betting analyst Jen Piacenti has her eyes on a couple of tight end props for bettors to target in a Thursday night divisional battle between the Lions and the Packers.

00:00 Here are my three best bets for Thursday Night Football.
00:02 Las Vegas thinks this is going to be a close one, with the Packers as 1.5 point home dogs
00:07 in the game total at 45.5.
00:09 The Packers 3-0 against the Spread this season, and I think they cover once again.
00:13 Now let's get weird.
00:15 Luke Musgrave, over 37.5 receiving yards.
00:18 His 89 routes run are tied for 9th at the position, and he's been targeted on 17% of
00:23 them for an average of more than 41 yards per game.
00:26 Now Musgrave has exceeded this problem in two of three contests already, and even if
00:30 Aaron Jones and Christian Watson come back, he should see targets versus a Lions defense
00:35 that has allowed the most targets, 36, and the most receiving yards, 263, to tie it in
00:42 this year.
00:43 And finally, Sam Laporta, over 42.5 receiving yards.
00:46 Laporta is operating as the wideout number two in this Lions offense, with a 21.4% target
00:51 share and an 88% catch rate.
00:54 He's averaging 10.33 yards per catch and 6 catches per game.
00:58 It's simple math.
