Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions Prediction
The Packers have had a tough season with a 4-7 record.
The team handed the keys to Jordan Love, who got the opportunity to be a starter after Aaron Rodgers was traded to the New York Jets.
Love has shown glimpses of being a franchise quarterback, but overall, there are a lot of question marks surrounding Love and if he is the future in Green Bay.
The Packers' offense has lacked explosive plays this year.
Overall, the Green Bay offense ranks 20th in points per game (20.2).
The Lions have not won the NFC North since the 1990s, but they are in a great spot to do it this year.
Detroit holds a 2.5-game lead over the Minnesota Vikings, and they are currently priced at -1100 to win the North.
Jared Goff has been great for the Lions this year, working with some of the best-skill position players in football.
Amon-Ra St. Brown is on his way to another 1,000 yard + season while rookie tight end has shined in his role.
The Lions offense ranks sixth in points per game (27.2).
Let’s dive into the first touchdown winner.
Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions Player Prop Pick
The value here is too good not to take a swing at.
Sam LaPorta has had extremely high usage this season.
LaPorta has played in 575 of the Lions offensive snaps this year. Only Amon-Ra St Brown has played in more (581).
LaPorta is receiving the second most targets of any Lions player in the red zone this season.
Green Bay is one of the worst first-half scoring teams in football, which should give the Lions a good chance of being the first team to find the end zone.
Let’s get rich!
