Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions Prediction
Green Bay will begin with a record of 4-6.

Quarterback Jordan Love leads the Pack offense. The former first-round pick has thrown for 2,331 yards, 16 touchdowns, and ten interceptions.
Running back AJ Dillon leads the team in rushing yards with 405. Dillon will see a heavy workload on Thursday as the Packers will be without running back Aaron Jones.
Rookie wide receiver Jayden Reed is off to a great start in Green Bay. Reed has been the favorite target of Love, hauling in 32 receptions worth 463 yards.
The Packers defense ranks tenth in football in points allowed per game (20.2).
Detroit is in firm control of the NFC North.
It has been nearly three decades since the Lions won the division.
Detroit represents a record of 8-2, which puts them 2.5 games ahead of the Minnesota Vikings.
Jared Goff leads this Lions offense. The former first-overall pick has thrown for 2,743 yards, 16 touchdowns, and eight interceptions.
The Lions have one of the best backfields in football. David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs have combined for 1,089 yards and 13 touchdowns.
Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been the favorite target of Goff. St. Brown leads the team with 898 yards and five touchdowns.
The Lions defense ranks 22nd in points allowed per game (22.9).
Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions Pick
Yes, this will be the square side, but this game is a total mismatch.
The Lion's offense has been outstanding all season and will light up this Packers' defense.
The Packers do not have the offensive firepower to keep pace in this game.
Green Bay will be without two stars in Aaron Jones and Luke Musgrave. Jayden Reed is also questionable for this game.
