The Green Bay Packers have lost two straight and all might not be OK in Green Bay. Losses to two undefeated have put the Packers in second place in the NFC North. Luckily for the them, the lowly Detroit Lions are coming a town and there truly isn't a better team to face right now for the Packers, who are in need of a big performance. Here are five bold predictions for Week 10's matchup.

There has been some clamoring about the Lions benching Matt Stafford and if that does indeed happen, this will be the game where it finally comes to fruition. The Lions are a turnover-machine and against the Packers, that won't change. Another bad performance and Stafford will be sitting on the sidelines.

Sure there was a fight on the sideline this past weekend for Green Bay, but that does not mean the talent level went down. The Packers still can get after the quarterback and Stafford himself will be prone to throwing two picks in this one. The Lions will be down early and the Packers will reap the benefits of Stafford throwing the ball too many times.

3. Eddie Lacy Gets Back On Track

I've been saying this for a few weeks now, but it hasn't come true. However, this is going to be the game where it finally happens. Green Bay hasn't been the same offensive juggernaut this year that they have been in the past. For them to open up passing lanes, they will need to get Lacy going. I can see a healthy dose of carries for the Alabama man in this game.

2. Randall Cobb Puts in a Big Performance

Randall Cobb, in the absence of Jordy Nelson, hasn't had the best season in terms of production. He's been banged up with a shoulder injury, but that ailment seems to be a thing of the past. Cobb is going to get going and he did a little bit in Week 9. I expect that to continue in Week 10 against a less-than-impressive secondary.

1. Packers Win Big

This game truly is an easy one to call. The Packers are in need of a victory and after two road games, the Cheeseheads of Green Bay will rally behind their team and play a part in making this a long day for the Lions. No game in the NFL is a guarantee, but this one looks close to just that.

Prediction: 37-13

Eddie Lacy Could Barely Handle 30-Yard Run

Eddie Lacy is a short yardage specialist, and when he breaks these long runs he definitely will come out of the game every time. This huge run setup the Packers' go-ahead touchdown and they would never look back. Lacy would get his later in the game.

Watch Redskins' Reed Pull In One-Handed Catch

The Washington Redskins look like they're on another level against the Green Bay Packers. Kirk Cousins has looked sharp, connecting with Jordan Reed on multiple occasions including this amazing one-handed catch. Later in the drive, Cousins would hit Reed again for a touchdown that gave the Redskins an 11-0 lead.
