If Green Bay Packers fans are freaking out about Jordan Love undergoing "a little procudere" on his left thumb, the betting odds say they shouldn't be.

 Or, in the words of a former Packers star QB, the betting odd say, RELAX.

The Packers open the season at home against the Detroit Lions and are 1.5-point favorites and -116 on the moneyline at FanDuel Sportsbook. The total is set at 49.5.

Those are basically the same odds they opened up at. If Love was in clear danger of missing time, that line would flip to the Lions being favored and the total would have dropped as well.

The Packers also remain outright favorites to make the playoffs this season. They’re currently -120 to make the playoffs at FanDuel, the same number they opened at. 

Love’s injury is to his non-throwing hand. He tore a ligament in his left thumb after hitting it on a helmet while taking a sack against the Jets in preseason Week 1. 

While the injury could be concerning to Packers fans, the odds suggest this isn’t an issue. The Packers are also betting favorites on the spread and moneyline against the Lions in Week 1 at DraftKings, BetMGM and Bet365. All those books would move their odds quickly if they felt Love was in danger of missing time. 

So far this preseason, Anthony Richardson was the other quarterback to suffer a scary moment when he took an unblocked sack in the Colts opening preseason game, leading to a dislocated pinkie. He’s fine and still battling Daniel Jones for the starting spot. 

The Packers are currently +2000 to win the Super Bowl at FanDuel, among the second wave of NFC teams on that oddsboard. The Philadelphia Eagles (+700) and Lions (+1000) are the favorites in the NFC.
