Why the Packers can cover
Green Bay has rattled off four consecutive wins following its narrow loss to then-undefeated Minnesota at the end of September. Packers quarterback Jordan Love exited last week's game against Jacksonville with a groin strain, and he is listed as questionable for this matchup. Love has completed 61.7% of his passes for 1,547 yards and 15 touchdowns, while backup quarterback Malik Willis has won both of his starts.
Running back Josh Jacobs ranks fourth in the league in rushing yards (667), averaging 4.6 yards per carry with three touchdowns. Detroit is having to go on the road for the third time in its last four games, giving a scheduling edge to Green Bay. The Packers are 15-5 in their last 20 home games against the Lions, and they have covered the spread in eight of their last 12 games dating back to last season. See which team to pick here.
Why the Lions can cover
Minnesota got off to an impressive 5-0 start to the season, but back-to-back losses have allowed Detroit to take over first place in the NFC South. The Lions are riding a five-game winning streak following a 52-14 win over Tennessee last week. Running back Jahmyr Gibbs had 127 rushing yards and a touchdown, averaging 11.5 yards per carry.
Detroit leads the NFL in scoring with 33.4 points per game, averaging 43 points over its past four games. Green Bay has relied heavily on takeaways defensively this season, but it is facing a Detroit offense that has only turned the ball over five times. The Lions have covered the spread in six consecutive road games, and they have covered in four of the last five meetings between these teams. See which team to pick here.
