I won with GB +7.5 but was shocked they went for the field goal at that point instead of the TD.
4th and goal at the five yard line down by 10. I think the better move is go for the TD and then the onside kick - because after the onside kick you'll likely be further away from the end zone when 4th down rolls around. So that's when you'd want to try the FG. Going for the FG instead reminded me of teams in basketball doing late fouling at the end just to extend the game - it just extended it and kept the hope alive for an extra minute.
Maybe the Packers figured they'd send a few people home happy with the half point cover or push. Got to give those GB fans credit being there for a game like today and no one leaving even when it looked hopeless.
