The Green Bay Packers will take on the Baltimore Ravens inside Lambeau Field on Sunday afternoon, looking for their second straight win.

For the Baltimore Ravens, there is a lot of football left in the season,  but they have put themselves in position to challenge for a wild card spot. Considering how bad this team has looked at times, that is definitely a positive, and they certainly have the championship pedigree to make a run towards the postseason. The Green Bay Packers are fighting for their lives in a tough NFC North division, and are having to do it without arguably the best player in the NFL.

When Aaron Rodgers broke his collarbone a few weeks back, this Packers team could have easily rolled over and died. However, they have rallied around Brett Hundley, and last Sunday,  they went out and won a big divisional  game on the road against the Chicago Bears. This season may not end with the team in the playoffs, but they have certainly played with a ton of heart since Rodgers went down.

Baltimore is coming off a bye, and has had two weeks to prepare for Hundley and company. They have lost three of their last four games, including two against NFC North teams in the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears. The Ravens are 2-2 on the road this season, winning in places like Oakland and Cincinnati, but Lambeau is going to be a whole new ballgame.

Odds

Line: Baltimore (-2.0)

Over/Under: 38.0

The Green Bay Packers are home underdogs in this one, as they are getting 2.0 points from the Baltimore Ravens. The over/under is set at 38.0, and that seems about right, as points are going to come at a premium on Sunday. This line and over/under has yet to be released, so head on over to OddsShark.com for any changes up until kickoff.

Going to go out on a limb here and say not only do the Packers cover the two points, but they win this game outright. This team is flying high after beating the Bears this past Sunday, and for Hundley, he proved he can win an NFL game as a starting quarterback. That is going to go a long way, and while Aaron Jones will not be able to go at running back, this franchise has a lot of confidence in Jamaal Williams, so do not expect them to change the way they go about their business Sunday.

Final Score: Packers 21, Ravens 17
