Packers vs Lions Prediction Breakdown

Detroit comes into this game with a great record, but they played pretty poorly in their last game against Chicago. The Bears had a double-digit lead late in the fourth quarter, so Detroit was lucky to escape with a win. Green Bay has won two of their last three games and had a very nice fourth quarter comeback last week. Detroit won the first meeting between these two teams by a score of 34-20 and I expect another higher scoring game here. The Detroit defense has not been very good recently and I think the Packers will be able to move the ball. Take the over here.
