Lions vs Packers Prediction
The current betting odds have the Packers listed as a 3.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Packers have looked good in their games this season with their 6-2 record overall which has them in 2nd place of the NFC North, but this is a really big game in the division for 1st place. Meanwhile, the Lions have looked great in their games this season with their 6-1 record overall which has them leading the NFC North with one of the best records in the entire NFL. The Lions have been rolling in their games lately and their offense has been putting up a ton of points, but their defense has also been giving up points against weaker teams and that will be an issue here. The Packers have been giving up points this season and won't be able to keep this Lions offense down, but the Packers have also been putting up a ton of points themselves so they are going to have no problem moving the ball at home against this defense. Both of these teams have already played divisional games too and they were both decided within a field goal. The Vikings went into Green Bay earlier this season, only winning by 2 points in the end even after a great start with a big lead, and the Lions went into Minnesota earlier this season, beating them in a close 2 point game. Both of these offenses can go toe-to-toe with each other and this is going to end up being a tight divisional game either way. The best way to place a bet here is on the Packers to cover the spread in this game.
