Detroit Lions vs Green Bay Packers
Head to head
Preview
How it plays out
Detroit Lions vs Green Bay Packers is a NFC North rivalry game, the kind where the records can go out the window. Detroit Lions are favored at 67% (DET -2), yet Green Bay Packers's 33% says this is no walkover.
Tactically, Detroit Lions will want to lean on maulers up front to attack Green Bay Packers, whose edge depth is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Green Bay Packers's ballhawk safety could punish Detroit Lions if pass rush health goes unaddressed. Whoever wins that exchange likely wins the game.
Keep an eye on Jared Goff (QB) and Jordan Love (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. With Lions at home, the model already bakes in roughly a field-goal's worth of home-field edge.
