NFL
Detroit enters at 3-2 with 164 points scored and 148 allowed, while Green Bay is 4-2 with 127 points scored and 125 allowed. The Lions are producing 279.6 passing yards per game and 114.2 rushing yards per game, giving them a more balanced path to points than the Packers, who are at 269.3 passing yards per game but only 59.8 rushing yards per game. Defensively, Green Bay has been much tougher by yards allowed and points allowed per game, but Detroit’s offense has been strong enough to stress that unit if it can stay on schedule. Both teams own a plus-four turnover margin, so the game may come down to red-zone execution and which offense can sustain drives without giving away hidden possessions.
Detroit has the better offensive profile, the stronger scoring output, and the home-field edge in a game that should stay close but tilt toward the Lions late. Green Bay’s defense has been the sturdier unit on paper, but its offense has not generated enough rushing production to consistently balance the attack against a Detroit team that can score in multiple ways. The projected final score is Detroit Lions 30, Green Bay Packers 27, with Detroit winning outright and the total landing above the market number.
