Green Bay Packers vs Detroit Lions Prediction 11-3-24 NFL Picks

In this article, we will formulate a Green Bay Packers vs Detroit Lions Prediction for this NFL Week 8 game on Sunday, November 3rd, at Lambeau Field.

Packers Continue to Win

The Packers continue to win, and they have won four games in a row. In the last game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, it wasn’t the prettiest game, but the Packers were able to a 30-27 victory. One big issue was Jordan Love was hurt in the game, but he still ended up completing 14 of his 22 passes for 196 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. Josh Jacobs has been the perfect addition for the team and finished with 25 carries for 127 yards and two touchdowns. Love’s MRI didn’t show any damage, so it looks like he’s going to be able to go here, but it’s going to be something that needs to be watched here. 

The Packers are averaging 27 points, while their defense is giving up 21.3 points per game. The offense is ranked 6th in the league, while the defense is ranked 11th best in all of the college football. 

The Lions Have Been Impressive

The Lions come into this game with a 6-1 record overall, but they look like a true Super Bowl contender. In the last game against the Tennessee Titans, the Lions scored 52 points and they ended up cruising to the victory. Jared Goff completed 12 of his 15 passes for 85 yards and three touchdowns. Jahmyr Gibbs is having a strong season, finishing with 11 carries for 127 yards and a touchdown. Sam LePorta, finishing with six catches for 48 yards and a touchdown. 

The Lions on the season are averaging 33.4 points, while their defense is giving up 19.1 points per game. The offense is ranked 1st, while the defense is ranked 8th. They have run up the score against everyone, and they are going to look to put on a show again here with the offense. 

Why the Lions Will Beat the Packers

• The Lions have won each of their last 10 games against NFC opponents on a winning streak.
• The Packers have lost four of their last five home games against NFC North opponents.
• The Lions have covered the spread in each of their last six road games.
• The Packers have failed to cover the spread in four of their last five November home games against NFC North opponents.
• The Packers have lost the first half in four of their last five home games against teams that held a winning record.
• The Lions have won the first quarter in five of their last seven games at Lambeau Field against teams that held a winning record.

Green Bay Packers vs Detroit Lions Prediction

This season has all been about making statements for the Lions, and that’s exactly what they are going to do. The Lions are averaging 33.4 points per game, and they are going to have no issue running up the score against the Packers defense. Even with Love playing, I expect he’s going to not be 100 percent, and he’s going to really struggle to move the ball for the Packers. Jared Goff is going to have a huge game for the Lions, and this game is going to get out of hand early. Back the Lions against the spread. They win this game by at least seven points.
