The Detroit Lions will look for the season sweep of the division-rival Green Bay Packers when the two meet on Thursday Night Football. Detroit won at Green Bay in Week 9, when backing the Under in NFL prop bets for quarterbacks turned out to be the right decision. Jared Goff had just 145 passing yards, while Jordan Love failed to throw a touchdown pass. If a similar story unfolds on Thursday, then Packers vs. Lions props for the Over may want to zero in on the running backs instead.
Josh Jacobs has 95 rushing yards in the Week 9 meeting, David Montgomery had 96 scrimmage yards, and Jahmyr Gibbs had 76 total yards and a score. Montgomery has a lengthy, and productive, history versus the Packers, dating back to his time with the Bears, as he has averaged 108.4 scrimmage yards over his last eight games against Green Bay.

Top NFL player prop bets for Packers vs. Lions
After analyzing Lions vs. Packers props and examining the dozens of NFL player prop markets, the AI PickBot says Packers running back Jacobs goes Over 69.5 rushing yards (-115 on DraftKings). One only has to look at Jacobs' Week 9 performance versus Detroit to see why SportsLine AI is bullish on the Over. Jacobs ran for 95 yards on just 13 carries, as his 7.3 yards per carry was the third-most in his NFL career. He wasn't the only one to find success in that game as Green Bay's backup running backs combined for 41 rushing yards on 6.8 yards per carry, so the Packers clearly have found a weakness in Detroit's run defense.
For the season, Jacobs ranks third in the NFL with 987 rushing yards and is averaging 82.3 rushing yards per game. His history of success versus Detroit extends beyond just earlier this season as he's averaged 92 rushing yards versus it, which is his fourth-most against any team he's played at least three times. Also, the Lions' run defense has taken a step back ever since Aidan Hutchinson was placed on IR as the team is allowing more than 100 rushing yards per game since his injury, compared to 83.2 yards with him on the field. With that, Jacobs is projected to have 86.8 rushing yards on average in a 4.5-star rated prop. See more NFL props here.
