On Thursday night at 8:25ppm ET, the Green Bay Packers (7-4) will be on the road to face the Detroit Lions (4-7).

“The Crowd” projects a final score of Packers 30 – Lions 26 with an over/under of 56.1. The Packers enter the game with a point differential of (+47). The Lions feature the sixth worst point differential in the league (-58). The Packers’ offense ranks 24th in yards per game (344) and 12th in points scored (262). They will face a Lions defense that rank 18th in fewest yards allowed per game (354.6) and 29th in fewest points allowed (288).

The Lions’ offense ranks 23rd in yards per game (344.9) and 25th in points scored (230). They will square off with a Packers defense that rank 21st in fewest yards allowed per game (361.5) but are sixth in fewest points allowed. The Packers are tied for fourth in turnover margin (+6) while the Lions feature the second worst in the league (-9).

The Lions are coming off an impressive dismantling of the Philadelphia Eagles on Thanksgiving but will face a much stiffer test this week. I like the Packers to rebound after losing last week and win by a touchdown on the road.

PREDICTION: Packers 31, Lions 24
