The Green Bay Packers (3-5) visit the Detroit Lions (1-6) Sunday at 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Packers vs. Lions odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
This has been a season of misery for both teams.
QB Aaron Rodgers and the Packers come into this game on a 4-game losing streak, including last week’s 27-17 loss against the Buffalo Bills. The loss of WR Davante Adams (to Las Vegas in the offseason) was a major blow and another blow came at the trade deadline when the Packers stayed pat and did nothing to help their lingering situation on offense.
The Lions came into the season with so much promise. After going 3-14 in 2021, the try-hard team was supposed to be better. Instead, Dan Campbell’s squad is 1-6 and traded away their starting tight end (T.J. Hockenson) to the division-rival Minnesota Vikings.
Games between these NFC North teams are always fun and this will be no different. But now, instead of Green Bay being atop the division and looking down on the Lions, they are right next to each other at the bottom of the division.

Prediction
Packers 34, Lions 28
Moneyline
PASS.
The Packers’ -200 ML is too high to make a wager.
Against the spread
LEAN PACKERS -4 (-108).
Rodgers is the most talented QB in NFL history. The 4-game losing streak he and the Packers are on is the longest of his career. Going against a bad Lions team this week, Rodgers will get back on track and the Packers will return to their winning ways.
The Lions have all but folded it in on the season with the trade of TE Hockenson to the Vikings. With Swift ailing as well as WR Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit’s health on offense is in question.
After going up 21-0 to Miami Sunday, Detroit let the game go and lost 31-27. It will not go up by 21 in this game and it will not lose by less than 4. TAKE PACKERS -4 (-108).
Over/Under
BET OVER 49.5 (-108).
This number is a bit high, and it is likely to come down before game time. Even if it does not, I love it.
Detroit and its porous defense allow points. The offense for Detroit also likes to score points. The Lions are 5-2 to the Over on the season and this game will make it 6-2.
When Green Bay is clicking, it is efficient. It scores a lot of points on few drives. They will be clicking in this game and the scoring will hit the Over in this divisional matchup. OVER 49.5 (-108) is my FAVORITE PLAY in this game.
