Detroit had the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Still, it couldn't overcome a plethora of injuries, especially on the defensive side, and some questionable play calls against Washington in the playoffs, losing to the Commanders 45-31. The Lions' offense is intact mainly this year, and the defense will slowly return most of its regulars, who were injured last season, including Aidan Hutchinson, whose injury against the Cowboys in October was a significant blow to the Lions. Detroit has won six of the past seven meetings with Green Bay, including both last season. The Lions are on a 14-6 ATS run overall, 12-4 ATS against the Packers, including 6-2 ATS on the road. Detroit is 15-5 ATS versus the NFC North. The Packers lost four of their final six games, but bolstered themselves defensively with the trade for Micah Parsons. The Lions have gone UNDER four of six September games, and they are 8-1 ATS as road underdogs. Jordan Love will wear a brace to protect his surgically repaired thumb, meaning he might be unable to hand off with his left hand. Take the Lions and the UNDER.
