So, in this article, we'll be making a prediction for the Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions game happening on Thursday, December 5th, at Ford Field for NFL Week 14.

Can Packers Make Another Statement?

The Packers are rocking a 9-3 record, but beating the Lions would really prove their worth. They took on the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving and put up 30 points for the win. Jordan Love is back in form, completing 21 out of 28 passes for 274 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. Josh Jacobs didn’t have his best day running but still managed to score a touchdown.

Tight end Tucker Kraft had an awesome game, snagging six catches for 78 yards. The Packers are scoring an average of 26.5 points, while their defense is letting in 20 points per game. The offense is sitting at 8th in the league, and the defense is at 9th. Jaire Alexander is nursing an MCL injury, and it's up in the air if he'll play in this game.

Lions Continue to Dominate, Do they Slow Down?

The Lions have been crushing it this season, with just one early loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite their strong record, they faced a real challenge in their last game against the Chicago Bears. If it weren't for the Bills' poor clock management, they might have lost that one. The game ended with a tight score of 23-20. Jared Goff hit 21 out of 34 passes for 221 yards and threw two touchdowns.

The Lions defense let Caleb Williams shine, so they'll really need to step it up against Jordan Love. The Lions are putting up an average of 31.9 points, while their defense is letting in 16.9 points per game. Their offense is the best in the league, and the defense isn't far behind at 3rd. Both teams have a killer running game, with Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery tearing it up as the top duo in the NFL.

The Green Bay Packers vs Detroit Lions

Game Prediction!

The Pick: Detroit Lions -2.5

The Lions already took down the Packers by ten points on their turf, and now they're playing at home? It's going to be even tougher for the Packers. The Lions offense is going to come out strong, and their defense won't have much trouble dealing with Jordan Love. Jared Goff just had a game with two touchdown passes, and he's set for another big game tonight. The Packers offense just won't be able to keep up. You can jump in front of this Lions Pride if you want, but i think you just keep rolling with the Pride in this one! The smart move is to Bet on the Lions to win and cover the spread.
