Lions at Packers picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 31, Packers 27

Moneyline

PASS.

The moneyline has value for both sides, but the preferred side to play the favorite is on the spread as the wager has more bang for your buck. In this case, pass on a moneyline play.

Against the spread

BET LIONS -2.5 (-115).

The Packers are just too banged up to take here. They have their starting RB, CB and QB listed as questionable. The Packers are also just 2-3 ATS in their last 5 games. Love has also been far too turnover-prone, having thrown 9 INTs in 6 starts.

The Lions have covered in 5 straight games, 3 on the road. They are 3-0 ATS as a favorite of 5 or fewer points. QB Jared Goff has a 74.1% completion rate and just 4 turnovers. He’s a more trustworthy option, and the Lions are the less injured side.

Back LIONS -2.5 (-115).

Over/Under

BET OVER 48.5 (-110).

The Lions have been on fire offensively and have scored 47 or more points in 2 of their last 3 games. They have gone Over in 4 straight and are 4-3 O/U on the season. They are 2-1 O/U on the road.

The Packers are 4-3-1 O/U on the season and have scored 30 or more points in 2 of their last 3 games. They have allowed at least 22 popints in 2 straight as well, so their defense has struggled more often than it did earlier in the season.

With that in mind, back OVER 48.5 (-110).

Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Detroit Lions (8-8) and Green Bay Packers (8-8) close out the NFL’s regular-season schedule with a Sunday night showdown from Lambeau Field at 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Lions vs. Packers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Depending on earlier results, this game could mean a lot for both teams. With a victory, the Packers will secure the NFC’s No. 7 seed in the playoffs.

After a 41-17 drubbing of Minnesota as 3.5-point home favorites last Sunday, QB Aaron Rodgers and the Packers have rallied to win 4 straight after 40-33 loss at the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 12.

The Lions would only be playing for a playoff spot if the Seahawks (8-8) lose at home to the Rams (5-11) earlier in the day — Seattle is a 5.5-point favorite, If the Seahawks beat the Rams, one has to figure the Lions will want to play spoiler to the Packers’ hopes.

After their own 41-10 home victory vs. the Bears in Week 18 as 4.5-point favorites, the Lions hit their Over/Under (O/U) season win total of 7.5 and are a victory away from a stunning playoff berth.

Lions at Packers picks and predictions

Prediction

Packers 31, Lions 28

Moneyline

PASS.

Green Bay (-230) is too high a price to make a straight wager on in this pivotal matchup for a playoff berth.

The Packers are rolling right now, but so are the Lions.

Against the spread

If you really want to bet the game now, DETROIT +5 (-110) is the play, but I’m going to wait until the Rams-Seahawks game goes final.

No matter what happens in the NFC West matchup, I love the Lions to keep it close. If Seattle beats L.A., eliminating Detroit, this line will jump, and we can get a better number on the Lions.

Even if the Seahawks lose, we won’t get a worse number then the +5 that is available right now. Patience is the name of the game with this wager.

Over/Under

OVER 48.5 (-112) is the correct side here.

Both teams scored 41 last week in a must-have situation and they’ll be ready to go again for this one.

Rodgers will be primed to get the Pack back to the playoffs and Lions QB Jared Goff has been playing excellent football recently.

The keys to this game will be WR Amon-Ra St. Brown for Detroit and RB Aaron Jones for Green Bay. Both should score and both will have opportunity for big plays.

Don’t look for a conservative plan from either coach as both teams will do everything possible to win — 48.5 points will not be enough.
