Odds Detroit Lions beat Green Bay Packers in Week 14

He lions will face the Green Bay Packers Thursday night at Ford Field, looking to sweep the season series against their NFC North rivals.

If they do just that, they will improve to 4-0 on the season against their divisional opponents. With a victory, Dan Campbell’s The team will also extend its franchise-best winning streak to 11 games.

It will be easier said than done against the jordanian love-led by the Packers, who have won three straight games since losing to Detroit at Lambeau Field in Week 9. And during the three-game winning streak, Green Bay He hasn’t allowed more than 19 points in a single game.

It is a commendable feat for Matt LaFleur team, which averages the eighth-most points per game (26.5/game) and allows the ninth-fewest points per game (20.0/game). Definitely, Green Bay – who are 4-1 on the road in 2024 – are capable of avenging their early-season loss to Campbell’s team.

In the aforementioned Week 9 clash with detroitThe Packers ran more (138 to 124 yards) and threw for more yards (273 to 145) than Jared Goff and company. Additionally, Green Bay accumulated more first downs than Detroit (20 to 17).

However, Love and company. They shot themselves in the foot with multiple self-inflicted wounds. Love threw a costly interception late in the first half that was returned for a touchdown by the Lions safety. Joseph Kerby. Additionally, the Packers committed 10 penalties, costing them 67 yards.

Since that loss, Love has made only one other interception, and the packers We have played cleaner and more efficient football.

For example, they have become a much more productive red zone offense since the loss at the hands of detroit. Green Bay scored only one of four touchdowns inside the 20-yard line against Aaron Glenn’s defense of the Lions, and emerged from the divisional showdown with a 47.1 percent success rate for the season inside the red zone. In stark contrast, the Packers have scored touchdowns on 73.3 percent of their trips to the red zone in their last three games.

To the Green Bay defensive tackle Kenny ClarkThe Packers are “a different team” than they were when they first played the Lions.

“We are playing better together, taking the ball away. Like we’ve been talking about, just coming together as a team and playing complementary football and eliminating mistakes,” Clark told ESPN and Packers reporters. “We still have to slow down with penalties and all that, as far as shooting ourselves in the foot and all that. “I think we’re moving away from that and just coming together as a team.”

Green Bay He could also play against Detroit at the perfect time. Since his first meeting with the Packers, the lions have lost a host of players to injuries, including linebackers Alex Anzalone and Malcolm Rodriguez and defensive linemen Josh Paschal, Levi Onwuzurike and Mekhi Wingo.

As a result of all the injuries, I could see Green Bay deploying its fourth-ranked running game (1,782 yards) early and often. jose jacobs leads the Packers’ running game, with 987 rushing yards, eight touchdowns and 4.5 yards per carry. In addition, he is coming off a performance against the Miami Dolphins in which he accumulated 117 all-purpose yards and a rushing score. Additionally, he rushed for 95 yards in Green Bay’s final game against detroit.

Subsequently, I think lions The run defense, which has allowed the fifth-fewest rushing yards in the NFL (1,122), will be tested in this Week 14 primetime slot.

I currently believe detroit has a 55 percent chance of defending the home field and achieving the divisional victory against Green Bay.
