Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions Key Stats
The Packers' scoring offense has taken a big step back in 2022. After finishing last season as a top-ten unit averaging 26.5 points per game, Green Bay ranks just 26th in the NFL, as they have averaged 18.1 points per game.
While quarterback Aaron Rodgers ranks in the top-ten of nearly every individual quarterback category, he has not received much help from his wide receivers. The unit is currently tied for fourth in the NFL with 18 drops.
On the defensive end, Green Bay is allowing fewer points per game; however, their 16th-ranked scoring defense hasn't been enough to overcome an offense that has been stagnant. The Packers are currently 3.5 games back in the NFC North; however, they are only one game back in the NFC Wild Card race.
Despite their 1-6 record, the Lions have been surprisingly competitive in most of their games, thanks, in large part, to a scoring offense that currently ranks ninth, averaging 24.7 points per game. The Lions' offense has been a dual-threat attack. They currently rank seventh in both passing yards and touchdowns, while ranking 10th in rushing yards and fourth in rushing touchdowns.
Detroit has not had the same success on defense, however, as they have allowed the most points in the NFL, ranking 32nd with 32.1 points allowed per game. They have been equally bad against the pass and the run, as they rank in the bottom-ten of every defensive metric.
Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions Betting Prediction
Since starting 3-1, the Packers have lost their past four games, three of which came against opponents they likely should have beaten. After having six drops through the first four games, that number has doubled, as Green Bay's receiving core has dropped 12 games over the last four.
Entering Week 9 in desparate need of a win, Rodgers and the Packers face an opponent that they have had plenty of success against throughout his career. Green Bay is 18-6 against the Lions when Rodgers starts, and three of those losses have come in games where he didn't play in the second half. Furthermore, Rodgers has thrown for 52 touchdowns against Detroit with just eight interceptions. Look for his success to continue against a defense that hasn't been able to stop anyone.
Pick: Green Bay Packers -3.5 (-110); Over 49.5 (-110)
