NFL: 5 Bold Predictions For Packers Vs. Lions
By Evan Massey
5. Green Bay Will Pull Out A Squeaker
While the Detroit Lions are an extremely talented football team with the ability to put some matchup nightmares on the field for the Green Bay Packers, they still aren’t going to come away with a win. Green Bay has shown the ability to play another level of football this season, and that will be how they come out this week with the second seed in the NFC on the line.
Having Aaron Rodgers on the team gives the Packers an advantage, and their offense is more high-powered than Detroit’s. Defensively, the two teams are very similar and will have their issues. That being said, the Packers’ pass rush is beginning to pick up quickly and Stafford hasn’t proven that he can win on the road in Green Bay.
Expect this game to be a very hotly contested game between two rivals, and for the final score to be very close. Neither team is going to blow the other out.
That being said, the Packers are going to find a way to edge out the Lions and come away with the NFC North division title for the fourth straight season.
