Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions
I really don’t get what the Packers have done lately to be favored on the road against anyone.
The Packers, now a game behind the Minnesota Vikings travel to play the Detroit Lions, who managed to beat the Packers in Green Bay in their first meeting.
“He’s young in this job, but he’s not afraid”, Stafford said of the new hire, according to MLive.
“It’s a great game we play”. Thats the part that sucks.
And suddenly, Detroit has played like the team that won 11 games last season and made it to the playoffs.
DETROIT (AP) – Aaron Rodgers took advantage one last shot to stun the Detroit Lions.
Lions defensive end Ezekiel Ansah has had a huge season for Detroit. He caught the ball. “This is a big game for the Packers”.
“Didn’t think it was, but that doesn’t matter”, Caldwell said.
“We just got to get better on run defense – and that’s what our focus has got to be in”, Bears outside linebacker Pernell McPhee told the Chicago Sun-Times.
It was a gut punch for the players and the fans.
The Lions won the first game between these teams last month, marking the first time since 1991 that Detroit has won in Green Bay.
He also said that facemask call was legit. The game can be watched on TV on the CBS network or the NFL Network, or online through free live stream via the link below.
Im not saying it was, Im not saying it wasnt.
“You have to have him under duress”, Ihedigbo said. It seems like they’ve got a little momentum going. Shame to us on that one..
The Packers faced the genuine possibility of missing the playoffs after a 6-0 start. Matthew Stafford completed 27 of 38 passes for 337 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Lions.
Eddie Lacy (Running back): Lacy was injured the first time these two teams faced each other. First James Starks ran the ball from Detroits 8 and then fumbled it into the end zone where Randall Cobb recovered it for a touchdown.
All of a sudden, the Lions lead had shrunk to six points.
The Detroit Lions closed in on Aaron Rodgers, and there was nobody nearby he could lateral to.
The Packers didn’t get the ball back until 23 seconds remained. It’s the result of a seemingly inexplicable fall from a reputation for being one of the most explosive and consistent passing attacks in the league for the last several years.
Tough one to lose. Rodgers is facing a defense that gives up the 13 most fantasy points to quarterbacks. ESPN reported that Rodgers said he lost feeling in the fingers on his left hand during the second half of the game.
With 75% of public bettors now backing the Packers to cover the spread, the line movement for tonight’s game is a clear indication that sharps are taking the Lions.
