Lions vs Packers Prediction

I’ll lean toward the Packers but I could go either way. Green Bay emerged victorious in a sloppy game last Sunday night. The Pack committed 11 of the game’s 22 penalties for 96 yards but made up for it with a very nice 11-of-18 effort on third downs and 318 total yards on offense. Green Bay put up just 57 rush yards on 26 attempts, but to be fair Dallas wasn’t running the ball either (48 rush yards on just 15 attempts). Over these last three games (all wins), Green Bay has held opponents to 14 points or fewer in each outing.

As for Detroit, they didn’t have too much issue with a struggling Cardinals team in their last outing, notching 24 first downs and 412 total yards. The Lions could have been better on thirds (4-of-13) but overall they played pretty well. Detroit has scored 26 or more points in all five games this year so this one could turn into a shootout.
