Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions Preview & Picks

Detroit are tipped to avenge the season-opening defeat to Green Bay.

The Lions have had some letdowns, but they have tended to deliver in the role of betting favourite, and despite the Week 1 loss they have a strong recent record against the Packers.

  • Detroit Lions are 6-1 as a betting favorite
  • Detroit Lions are 6-2 in their previous 8 meetings with Green Bay
  • Green Bay Packers are 1-4-0 ATS in their 5 road games
  • The Over has cashed in 3 of the past 4 meetings in Detroit

Head To Head

  • Green Bay Packers lead the all-time series 107-78-7
  • Green Bay Packers won 27-13 when the two teams last met on September 7

Green Bay Packers Form

Green Bay head to Detroit having won back-to-back games to improve their record to 7-3-1.

The Packers opened the season with home wins over Detroit, 27-13, and Washington, 27-18, only to go cold before the bye as they lost 13-10 at Cleveland and tied 40-40 at Dallas.

They got back to winning ways after the bye as they downed Cincinnati 27-18 at home, and they backed that up on the road as they downed Arizona 27-23 and Pittsburgh 35-25.

Green Bay’s run was halted by a couple of home defeats, as they lost 16-13 to Carolina and 10-7 to Philadelphia.

The Packers rebounded on the road though, beating the New York Giants 27-20, and they followed that up last weekend as they beat Minnesota 23-6 at home.

Detroit Lions Form

Detroit enter this matchup on the back of a win, but having been in inconsistent form since they bye to sit 7-4.

The Lions kicked off the campaign with a 27-13 loss at Green Bay, but responded in emphatic fashion as they blew out Chicago at home, 52-21.

They backed that up with wins over Baltimore, 38-30, Cleveland, 34-10, and Cincinnati, 37-24, before seeing that run end with a 30-17 defeat at Kansas City.

Detroit rebounded to go into the bye on the back of a 24-9 win over Tampa Bay, only to return to action with a surprise 27-24 home defeat to Minnesota.

Since then then Lions have sandwiched a 16-9 defeat at Philadelphia with a 44-22 victory over Washington and a 34-27 overtime win against the New York Giants.

Verdict

Both teams know that a victory here will be huge, and we are leaning towards the Lions.

Detroit’s offense has been more consistent and the defense is capable of causing problems for a Packers offense that is dealing with injuries to key pieces.
