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).
