Can Packers Make Another Statement?

The Packers sit with a 9-3 record overall but they could make a real statement with a victory in this game over the Lions. The Packers faced off against the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving and they scored 30 points on the way to the victory. Jordan Love is looking healthy again and he completed 21 of his 28 passes for 274 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Josh Jacobs didn’t have the best game on the ground but did find the end zone once. 

Tight end Tucker Kraft had a huge game finishing with six catches for 78 yards. The Packers are averaging 26.5 points while their defense is giving up 20 points per game. The offense is ranked 8th in the league while the defense is ranked 9th. Jaire Alexander is dealing with an MCL injury and it’s unclear if he’s going to be able to in this game. 

Lions Continue to Dominate 

The Lions have dominated so far this season and they only have one loss early in the season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Even though they have only one loss, they were tested in the last game against the Chicago Bears, and it wasn’t for the Bills not knowing how to clock manage that was a game they could have lost. The final score was only 23-20. Jared Goff completed 21 of his 34 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns. 

The Lions’ defense allowed Caleb Williams to have success and they are going to need to do a lot better job against Jordan Love here. The Lions are averaging 31.9 points while their defense is giving up 16.9 points per game The offense is ranked 1st in the league while the defense is ranked 3rd. The running game for these teams has been impressive and Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery have both run wild as the best one-two punch in the NFL. 

Green Bay Packers vs Detriot Lions Prediction

The Lions already beat the Packers by ten points on the road and now they get to return home? It’s going to be even worse here. The Lions’ offense is going to get out to a fast start here, and their defense is going to really struggle to find any pressure against Jordan Love. Jared Goff is coming off a game where he threw for two touchdowns, and he’s going to have another huge game here. The Packers offense just isn’t going to keep up here. Back the Lions to win this game and cover the spread.
