Detroit Lions vs Green Bay Packers Prediction: A very tight matchup ahead

On Sunday, the Green Bay Packers (3-5) and the Detroit Lions (1-6) square off at Ford Field in a pivotal NFC North game.

The Miami Dolphins defeated the Detroit Lions by 31-27 on Sunday. In a game in which Detroit was the underdog by 3.5 points, and Miami was able to convert 8 of 12 third downs, the Dolphins were able to win even though the Lions twice held a 14-point lead in the first half. The defeat in Week 8 was the fifth consecutive one for Detroit. However, we expect quite a better response from the team to avoid another painful defeat.

The Buffalo Bills defeated the Green Bay Packers by a 27-17 last Sunday. Green Bay fell behind by a score of 14-0 in the first 16 minutes of play and continued to trail by multiple scores for the remainder of the game. They are off to their worst start to a season since 2006, with a record of 3-5. The current losing skid of four games for the Packers is their longest since 2016.

The Packers need to be in a better position to exploit the Lions' weak secondary and defense. Because of their large number of inexperienced and veteran wide receivers, they have reached the end of their continuous usefulness. However, they do have running back Aaron Jones, who is a legitimate dual-threat weapon that the Lions probably won't have an answer for.
