Detroit Lions vs Green Bay Packers Prediction:

Green Bay Packers with 2-time MVP Aaron Rodgers and 3-time Pro Bowler wide reciever Davante Adams manning the sideline are favorites in this matchup. Detroit Lions are expected to be without star wide reciever Kenny Golladay & their running back is still an unreliable 3 man commitee.

With the over/under set at 47.5, this game is expected to be a high scoring one, the Packers moneyline set at -250 (bet $250 win $100) is considered to be one of the safer NFL bets this week.

Prediction: Green Bay Packers to win
