Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers

Detroit and Green Bay are both locked into the playoffs, but there are still things to be won here.

The NFC North division title for instance. Both teams have 11 wins, so whichever team wins will take the division. On top of that a potential first round bye is at stake, as the NFC North winner is currently slotted in the second spot of the NFC playoff seeding.

Most importantly, if the Seattle Seahawks lose to St. Louis, home field advantage is within reach.

In Week 3, the Lions beat the Packers 19-7, but this Green Bay team has been playing much better than the early season version. This will be a close one, though it being in Lambeau Field will definitely give the Packers an edge.

With this much on the line though, the Lions won’t go easy.
