TV: ESPN

NFL Point Spread Odds: Pick

Money Line: Packers and Colts -110 odds

Over Under Total: 36 points

Notes: The Hall of Fame Game is contested on a neutral field in Canton Ohio. Like most of the first week of the preseason expect the starters to see the field in one to three series max.

Green Bay starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers has inexperienced backups. Second year man Brett Hundley is the current backup and vying for playing time in camp will be rookies Marquise Williams and Joe Callahan. Williams is a running style quarterback who was an undrafted free agent out of North Carolina. Hundley drafted out of UCLA in 2015 showed some good things last year in preseason and is getting good reviews in camp. The team is expecting better production on the ground as Eddie Lacy is looking to bounce back from a down 2015. Wide out Jordy Nelson suffered a knee injury last preseason that forced him to miss the 2015 campaign. He is questionable for Sunday as he has been placed on the PUP list.

Andrew Luck is at quarterback for the Colts and should see a series or two. Behind Luck is veteran backup Scott Tolzien and Stephen Morris. Tolzien enters his sixth season in the league and has been holding a clip board on the sideline for much of his career. He started two games in 2013 for the Packers. Former Miami Hurricane Stephen Morris is competing for the backup role. His two years in the NFL has been spent on practice squads. Running back Frank Gore disappointed last season. The Colts are looking to get something going on the ground to help diminish the pressure on Andrew Luck in the pocket.
