The Green Bay Packers will play the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan.
The Green Bay Packers are 3-5 this season after they lost to the Buffalo Bills by a score of 27-17 in their last game. Green Bay actually out gained Buffalo by a total of 398-369, but turned the ball over once and went 0-2 on fourth down attempts in the game. The Green Bay offense is averaging 18.1 points per game with 217.4 passing yards per game and 122.5 rushing yards per game. Aaron Rodgers (questionable) has thrown for 1,800 yards, 13 touchdowns, and four interceptions for the Packers this season. Aaron Jones has rushed for 575 yards and one touchdown, while Allen Lazard (questionable) has caught 26 passes for 340 yards and four scores for Green Bay. The Green Bay defense is giving up 21.6 points per game and 316 yards per game.
The Detroit Lions are 1-6 this season after they lost to the Miami Dolphins by a score of 31-27 in their last game. Detroit scored 27 points in the first half, but the offense fell apart in the second half and they were not able to score again. The Detroit offense is averaging 24.7 points per game with 258.3 passing yards per game and 136.6 rushing yards per game. Jared Goff has thrown for 1,904 yards, 12 touchdowns, and six interceptions for the Lions this season. Jamaal Williams has rushed for 464 yards and eight scores, while Amon-Ra St. Brown has caught 35 passes for 344 yards and three touchdowns for Detroit. The Detroit defense is allowing 32.1 points per game and 421.3 yards per game.
Green Bay is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 November games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games on turf. The over is 10-4 in Green Bay’s last 14 games against the NFC North. Detroit is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games against the NFC North and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games. The over is 7-2 in Detroit’s last 9 games. The home team is 5-0 ATS in these two teams last 5 head to head meetings.
Detroit played well in the first half of their last game, but their defense continues to be really bad. Green Bay played better than most people thought they would last week against the Bills, but they have lost four games in a row. Green Bay’s offense has had some issues this season, but will get to play the worst defense in the NFL. I like the over in this game.
