The Detroit Lions (2-1) and the Green Bay Packers (2-1) meet on Thursday Night Football in Week 4 at Lambeau Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Lions vs. Packers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Lions play on the road on a Thursday night for the 2nd time in 4 games this season. Detroit opened the season with a 21-20 upset win against the Kansas City Chiefs, its 2nd straight regular-season primetime victory dating back to Week 18 last season. The Lions haven’t won 3 straight games under the lights since 1998.
The Packers and QB Jordan Love rallied for an 18-17 victory despite entering the 4th quarter down 17-0, covering for the 3rd time in as many outings. The Under result in Week 3 was the team’s first of the season. Green Bay lost to Detroit in Week 18 at home last season in primetime, and it is just 1-4 in the past 5 games under the lights.

Lions at Packers picks and predictions
Prediction
Lions 25, Packers 20
Moneyline
The LIONS (-124) are worth a roll of the dice to go 2-for-2 on Thursday night. Detroit enters the game in a lot of better shape from a health perspective.
The Packers have struggled on offense with Jones missing the past 2 games, and Watson sitting for all 3 games so far. Love showed a lot of poise, grit and determination leading a comeback last week, but the Lions are quite a bit more talented than the New Orleans team that Green Bay barely squeaked by.
Against the spread
The LIONS -1.5 (-110) are a little bit cheaper ATS than the moneyline, and therefore the better play is laying the small number of points — unless you feel the Lions are only going to win by a single point, or you think the game will end in a tie.
Over/Under
UNDER 45.5 (-110) is the lean, but go very, very lightly.
The Under cashed in both meetings between these NFC North rivals last season, with the Lions averaging 17.5 points per game (PPG) and allowing just 12.5 PPG in 2 Detroit wins. The Under is 6-3 in the past 9 meetings overall, with a slight 3-2 Under advantage in the past 5 battles at Lambeau.
