Key Stats
Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions have a record of 6-1 and sit in first place in the NFC North. Last week they defeated the Tennessee Titans 52-14. Jared Goff was great despite not putting up big numbers. He completed 12 of 15 passes for 85 yards and three touchdowns. Jahmyr Gibbs was excellent with 11 carries for 127 rushing yards and a touchdown. Sam LaPorta led the team in receiving with six catches for 48 yards and a touchdown. This was a dominating win in every way possible. When this team is clicking offensively, there aren’t many better teams.
The Detroit Lions’ defense has been one of the best units in the NFL. They rank 8th in points allowed per game, 27th in passing yards allowed per game, 5th in rushing yards allowed per game, 7th in offensive touchdowns allowed, 7th in sacks, and 2nd in takeaways per game. Despite losing Aidan Hutchinson for the year, they have not skipped a beat and I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to acquire a pass rusher at the trade deadline.
Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers are 6-2 and second in the NFC North. Last week, they beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 30-27. Despite leaving the game in the 3rd quarter, Jordan Love was not himself. He completed 14 of 22 passes for 196 yards and one interception. Malik Willis would lead the game-winning field goal drive at the end of the game. Josh Jacobs was dominant with 25 carries for 127 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Tight end Tucker Kraft led the team in receiving with three catches for 78 yards and a touchdown.
The Packers’ defense has been one of the key reasons the Packers are 6-2. They rank 12th in points allowed per game, 19th in passing yards allowed per game, 10th in rushing yards allowed per game, 16th in offensive touchdowns allowed, 11th in sacks, and 1st in takeaways per game. This defense might be without cornerback Jaire Alexander who is listed as questionable with a knee injury and did not practice on Friday. That would be a big loss going against an offense full of weapons and firing on all cylinders.
Prediction
The Detroit Lions are going to beat the Green Bay Packers in this game and cover the 2.5-point spread. If Jordan Love plays, I don’t know how effective he will be, as he is questionable with a groin injury. Despite the Packers being in the top ten in rushing yards allowed per game, Detroit has a two-headed monster in their backfield and arguably the best offensive line in the NFL. Jared Goff has been one of the best quarterbacks during the Lions’ winning streak. Detroit is 1st in points per game, 10th in passing yards per game, 6th in rushing yards per game, 1st in offensive touchdowns scored, and 3rd in yards per play.
Final Pick
Detroit Lions -2.5 (-120)
