Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers

For the Lions, coming off the bye week, it’s nearly like they have set the re-set button.

The Packers will need to be careful not to get caught off guard by Detroit this week. Our Packers and Lions writers have made their predictions, which can be read below.

Rodgers and the Packers’ offense are surely going to be scoring their fair share of points against the Lions, and that will put the pressure on Stafford and the Lions’ offense to keep up. Lacy is averaging just 3.7 yards per carry on the season after rushing for more than 1,100 yards in each of the last two seasons. Their last loss in division play was 19-7 at Detroit on September 21 previous year. James Starks led in rushing with 39 yards in 10 carries. Packers 31, Lions 14. The Packers have been losing on account of their defense just isn’t very good and can’t cover the middle at all.

ABOUT THE PACKERS (6-2): Rodgers hasn’t missed a beat with wideout James Jones, who has recorded a touchdown reception in all four games at Lambeau Field this season and had an 83-yard score in his last home game versus Detroit two years ago. Packers 27, Lions 16.

“To walk on that historic field, that’s an experience… that just sends thrills through you”, Wolf said Friday about Sunday’s ceremony. “At the end of the day, I trust the guys that are making all those decisions will do what’s best for our team”.

Mike Rizzo (4-4) – The Detroit Lions head to Green Bay having not won their since 1991 which by the way I was four years old when they last won in GB.

The Packers have lost to then-undefeated opponents on the road in Denver and Carolina. “So, we’ll continue to monitor the events and see if there’s any specific threats”.

Expected to be one of the league’s best backs, health and ineffectiveness have caused fan and media focus to return to his possibly suspect fitness level.

From the Lions perspective, Sunday’s game is producing the most expensive secondary market Lions tickets for the remainder of their season. Martha Ford has said she expects this team to find a way to win. That will be a daunting task in Green Bay. A few communication issues have to be cleaned up, but the five starters can’t allow rushers to get free the way they have of late. Both the Broncos and the Panthers exploited that and got the wins, despite Aaron Rodgers’ greatness. Bottom line: Green Bay playing at home holds a huge advantage over the Lions. Unfortunately this one won’t be close.

“There’s nothing we can do about the past as far as wins and losses but we can help what happens in the future, what happens today, so that’s how we’re taking it, ” Tate said. The Lions haven’t won in Green Bay in my lifetime, and this is their worst chance of finally breaking the streak.

With Johnson sporting a salary-cap hit of $24 million in 2016, and the front office and coaching staff being overhauled, speculation has grown as to whether the team’s next full-time general manager will have to cut him to get cap space for a rebuilding project.
