As soon as the Detroit Lions travel to Lambeau to take on the Green Bay Packers (8:20 P.M. ET/ESPN), then theyll be seeking to pick up their first division win of their season. There is a legitimate case to be made that the Detroit Lions may be 5-0. That they could have and they threw away a win at Week 1 in Arizona and probably should have beat against the Chiefs at home.
No matter this is a better team than the one Matt Patricia inherited year. They have a more balanced offense while their secondary has been one of the very best in the NFL. If they plan on beating the Packers again in Lambeau, also their secondary and their game will be the keys.
Even the Lions secondary has held opposing quarterbacks to a 80.3 passer rating thats great for 5th in the league. They are also holding QBs to 58.2% completed passes thats 3rd from the NFL. Last but not least, their secondary is also tied for 2nd in the league with seven interceptions. So this is no fluke that their secondary rank in the top five. When you consider they have played Phillip Rivers, Carson Wentz along with Patrick Mahomes, this device needs to be admired.
After their home loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Green Bay Packers bounced back with a street performance against the Cowboys. The fact they got it done by dominating with their run game is a welcomed surprise for both Packers fans and Aaron Rodgers.
Their run defense looked dreadful against Philadelphia but was able to maintain the Dallas running game in check. Its tough since the Cowboys have to abandon their game to take from this.
Meanwhile, Aaron Jones caught another 7 passes for 75 yards at a performance against Dallas and ran for 107 yards. Just the threat of a game produces Aaron Rodgers more effective, while he can not be expected to accomplish that on a normal basis.
This line opened at -6 with the total in 47 based on where you go shopping. On the Lions taking the above along with points both lines have moved with actions. The general public is showing regard to a better Lions team that are coming off a bye week and has competed this season. If youre looking for action on the Packers, today could be the time since the lineup is not likely to move in your favor to strike.
Trends Worth Paying Attention to:
?? Packers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 division games
?? Packers are 2-5 ATS in their last seven Monday Night games
?? Lions are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games
?? Lions are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games from Packers
?? The Total has gone 8 of the Lions last 11 games
My NFL pick for this specific game: Packers -4 (-103) at 5Dimes
I leaned at +6 toward the Lions but there are a couple things to consider about this sport. A Packers win would give them control of the NFC North. Theyve defeated the Vikings along with the Bears and would have a firm grasp on first place. The other issue is payback for a years embarrassing loss. Though Aaron Rodgers didnt play in Week 17 last season, the Lions came to Lambeau and won 31-0, they are second successive win in Green Bay.
The Lions should be able to keep it close but I think the Packers cover the spread and pull off in the long run. My NFL choice with the Week 4 Monday Night match between the Lions and the Packers is Green Bay -4 (-103).
