Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions Preview & Picks

Detroit are tipped to cover as they complete a season sweep of Green Bay.

The Lions have established themselves as the NFC’s best team and already beat the Packers by double digits on the road.

  • Detroit Lions are 11-1 this season
  • Detroit Lions are 4-1-0 ATS at home in 2024
  • Green Bay Packers are 0-3-0 ATS in division games
  • The Under cashed when the two teams met on November 3

Head To Head

  • Green Bay Packers lead the all-time series 106-77-7
  • Detroit Lions won 24-14 when the two teams last met on November 3

Green Bay Packers Form

Green Bay head to Detroit looking to extend a three-game win streak that has improved their record to 9-3.

The Packers split their first four games of the season, but enjoyed a four-game winning run in October that put them firmly in playoff contention.

That sequence was halted by a 24-14 home defeat to Detroit on November 3, but they have not lost since.

Green Bay blocked a last-gasp field goal to escape Chicago with a 20-19 victory, and they followed that up a week later with a 38-10 blowout of injury-hit San Francisco.

The Packers then made it three wins in a row on Thanksgiving, as they downed Miami 30-17 at home.

Detroit Lions Form

Detroit enter this matchup with the joint-best record in the NFL, having won each of their last 10 games to improve to 11-1.

The Lions have not tasted defeat since the surprise 20-16 home loss to Tampa Bay back on September 15.

They have reeled off 10 consecutive victories, including a couple of big road wins in the division, beating Minnesota 31-29 and Green Bay 24-14.

Detroit recorded their biggest win to date as they destroyed Jacksonville, 52-6, on November 17, and backed that up by beating Indianapolis 24-6 on the road.

The Lions then made it 10-in-a-row on Thanksgiving as they fended off a second-half fightback to beat Chicago 23-20.

Verdict

Detroit have had a couple of close calls recently, but they are the cream of the crop in the NFC North.

The offense is playing well and the defense is doing a sound job despite dealing with some injuries, so we are taking the Lions on Thursday Night Football.
