Packers vs. Lions Predictions For Thursday Night Football, NFL Week 14

Normally, playing on Thursday Night Football means teams are entering the matchup on a short week of rest. However, the Packers vs. Lions rivalry isn’t just a classic, but these are also two teams known for playing on Thanksgiving.

Therefore, they enter this TNF clash with a normal week’s worth of rest. That’s always good news for the best matchup for fans to enjoy, and it’s their final one of the season. With that in mind, we have their previous matchup to look back on, and with the NFC North being an absolute juggernaut this season, this matchup is even more pivotal.

So, let’s discuss each team so that we can fully dive into the top pick from our Packers vs. Lions predictions!

 

 

 

Green Bay Packers: Protecting The Streak

The Packers treated fans to the nightcap of the Thanksgiving Day slate in the typical weather of Lambeau Field, which spelled doom for the Dolphins from Miami before the game even kicked off. It was their second straight home win and third overall.

The last time Green Bay lost? When they played Detroit at the start of November. That loss snapped what was a four-game win streak, and with the Lions having won every game since then, it’s no surprise that the Packers vs. Lions odds have Detroit as the clear favorite. The Minnesota Vikings will have something to say about it, but this matchup could all but determine the winner of the NFC North.

 

 

 

Detroit Lions: Continuing To Cruise

The Lions’ 11-1 record has them sitting atop both the NFC North and entire NFC, but even that tremendous win-loss record doesn’t tell the full story. Detroit has been absolutely demolishing their opposition. While that may not have been on full display on Thanksgiving, it has been the case more often than not.

Head coach Dan Campbell has shown that he has no problem keeping his foot on the gas, perfectly demonstrated by 52-14 and 52-6 victories. It wasn’t quite that demoralizing against the Pack a month ago, but Detroit did defeat them by double digits. So, will they do so again? That’s what the best bet from our Packers vs. Lions predictions is here to help answer!

 

 

 

Packers vs. Lions Odds, Spreads, Total & Betting Lines

It’s just about that time to dive into our top pick, but first - the latest Packers vs. Lions odds at FanDuel Sportsbook:

 

 

 

Packers vs. Lions Best Bet: Detroit -1.5 First Half Spread (-120 at FanDuel Sportsbook)

To directly answer our previous question - yes. We are indeed willing to trust Detroit to bounce back from a close win and put up another convincing one. After all, they did beat Green Bay 24-14 exactly a month ago, and now they get the benefit of being at home inside Ford Field.

However, as for the best bet from our Packers vs. Lions predictions, we’re going to isolate the first half, just as we did for Detroit’s Thanksgiving Day game. That paid dividends given how close the game ended, but they entered the halftime locker room with a convincing 16-0 lead. That put the Lions at a remarkable 10-2 against the spread in the first half of games.

They’re also 9-3 against the spread overall, so we wouldn’t fault you for taking the Lions for the whole game, but with the number sitting over the key number of three, we prefer this approach. While they did beat the Pack by 10 last month, it’s also important to remember that it was a game immediately following Green Bay QB Jordan Love’s groin injury.

If it hadn’t been the Lions game, he likely would have been held out, especially with the Packers having their bye the following week. Regardless, a healthy Love gives Green Bay a stronger chance to keep things competitive late in the game, so we’re going to trust the NFL’s best first half offense instead.

Lions QB Jared Goff now has the third-shortest odds to win the MVP, and we’re backing him to help the best bet from our Packers vs. Lions predictions of Detroit -1.5 in the first half (-120 at FanDuel Sportsbook) come to fruition. 

 

 

 

Packers vs. Lions Injury Report & Latest News

We noted that Love has been back healthy, which was one of the biggest injury news stories earlier this season. As for the biggest injury news for this Week 14 matchup, that would be Packers WR Romeo Doubs.
