Packers vs Lions Prediction
The current betting odds have the Lions listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Lions have looked good in their games this season with their 3-2 record overall, but that record has them right at the bottom of the NFC North in a really competitive division. They have looked great on their home field though with their 2-0 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Packers have looked good in their games this season with their 4-2 record overall which has them right in the middle of the NFC North. They have been a good road team too with their 2-1 road record this year. The Packers have been up and down this season with some major issues on offense, but lately they have looked a lot better. They are coming off a 23-13 win over the Cowboys in their last one and their defense has looked great, but they aren't a team that is putting up a ton of points from game to game. They should be getting Jacobs back here which is big for their offense, but they haven't had a good rushing attack all season and a lot of that is due to the injuries on their offensive line. The Lions are in a much better situation here and they have been getting healthier lately with some key players on defense coming back for this game. They won their last game against the Cardinals 45-21, but they are also coming out of their bye week and they have had extra time to prepare for the Packers. The Lions are undefeated at home this season and have looked great at home under Campbell over the last few years, so that home advantage is going to play a big factor in this game. The Lions are also going to have extra motivation here since they lost both games to the Packers last season, so look for the Lions to come out of their bye week strong and make a statement as a contender in the NFC North. The best way to place a bet here is on the Lions to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“I want to make every throw. I want these guys to make every catch. That’s the expectation. Stuff happens. Drops happen. Obviously, I want those guys to make those plays, and we’re capable of making those plays. But for me, it’s got to be the next play mindset. You’ve got to move on.” - Jordan Love after their win against the Cowboys in their last game.
“The important thing is you go all in, no matter what you're going to do. And either it crumbles or they rise up, but you're going all in. You've got to push your chips all the way in and you've got to believe in it. So we did. We applied a little pressure and the players really responded.” - Dan Campbell after his team’s win against the Cardinals in their last game.
