Fanatics Sportsbook is promoting a new user offer that allows bettors to wager $20 and receive $350 in FanCash using the promo code FOXNEWS350 for the upcoming Thursday Night Football game between the Green Bay Packers and the Atlanta Falcons. The promotion coincides with a matchup between two teams that have a long shared history, having faced each other 36 times in their respective franchises' records.
Green Bay holds the historical advantage in this series, winning 19 of the 36 meetings. The most recent contest occurred in 2023, where the Falcons defeated the Packers by one point in a game hosted in Atlanta. That victory came after a significant fourth quarter by the Falcons, who have since undergone substantial roster changes. Desmond Ridder was the starting quarterback for Atlanta in that 2023 game, a position that has shifted since then.
The offensive lines for both teams have changed dramatically since their last meeting. In the 2023 game, Bijon Robinson carried the ball 19 times for 124 yards and added four receptions for 48 yards, while Drake London recorded a touchdown reception. The Falcons' current personnel differs from that roster, as does Green Bay's receiving corps. Jordan Love remains the quarterback for the Packers and threw for three touchdowns in the 2023 matchup.
Love is now entering his sixth season in the league. Last season marked one of his best campaigns, with a career-high completion percentage of 66.3%. His career high for touchdown passes was set in 2023, when he completed 32. This season, Love has started two games and has thrown for four touchdowns. He has maintained a nearly 4:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio this year, mirroring his performance from the previous season. Love has started only 15 games over the past two seasons and is aiming to start all 17 games this year.
