4% NFC NORTH SHOWDOWN
(NFL) Lions (DET) vs. Packers (GB),
Money Line: -134.00 Lions (DET) (Away)
Result: Win
Detroit goes on the road looking to add to their lead in the NFC north when the Lions head to Green Bay to the Packers. The Lions are 6-1 overall and are in first place in the NFC North. The Packers are 6-2 overall and they have won four straight games. The Lions have won five in row and the argument has been made that the are the best team in the NFC. The Lions are coming off a 52-14 win over Tennessee, a game in which six different Lions scored a touchdown.
Quarterback Jared Goff has thrown for 1,695 yards with 13 touchdowns and four interceptions. Gibbs has 591 yards on the ground while Montgomery has added 415 yards. They have combined for 13 touchdowns. Aidan Hutchinson was lost for the season but the defense is still playing well. Detroit jas the best scoring offense at 33.4 points per game and surprisingly, the 8th best scoring defense, allowing 19.1 points per game. Detroit is 6-1 against the spread this season and 5-1 as favorites. Green Bay is on a four-game winning streak. The Packers are 3-1 at Lambeau Field. Green Bay needed a late field goal to beat Jacksonville last week to extend their winning streak. During the streak, three of the four wins have come by 5 points or less.
Starting quarterback Jordan Love hurt his groin and did not play in the second half. He did return to practice on Thursday but in a limited capacity. He’s thrown 1,547 yards with 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Green Bay jas the sixth best scoring offense at 27 points per game and the 12th best scoring defense at 21.3 points per game. Green Bay is 4-4 against the spread this season. If Love does play it will be interesting to see how mobile he is. I look for the Lions defense to get after whoever is under center. They miss Hutchinson for sure but the rest of the defense has stepped it up. The two back approach from the Lions should be able to dominate in this game. I think the Green Bay offense will struggle in this game if Love is not close to 100%.. Detroit puts a little more distance between them and their NFC North Rivals.

Play on Detroit. This is a 4% play.
