Lions vs Packers Bet Builder Tips
Check out our 6/1 Bet Builder below for Thursday's big clash courtesy of Paddy Power.
Detroit Lions -2.5 (Handicap market)
The Lions are not the same team that they have been over the last couple of years. Their defense is inconsistent and on occasion gives up to many points if they want to win a Superbowl this year.
This was no more evident than last Sunday when they struggled to beat the New York Giants. They managed to get over the line after overtime and some magic from Jahmyr Gibbs. To give up 27 points against a team that has only won two games all season is a concern.
Now they are going against a Packers team that has a strong defense but are struggling to get their offence going. Jordan Love has only thrown for 15 touchdowns this season and Josh Jacobs is coming back from a knee injury.
With the Packers offence stuttering along and the Lions offence still being strong it feels like the Packers will be overpowered. Expect the Lions to get the result at home on Thanksgiving by three or more points.
Under 49.5 points
The Packers have got one of the best defenses in the league. They are ranked fourth when it comes to giving up yards and second when giving up yards per play.
The Lions have also got a solid defense that has struggled over the last couple of weeks. They are ranked tenth when it comes to giving up yards and ninth when giving up yards per play.
With both teams having solid defenses, it feels like there will be a limit to how many points will be scored. Expect the defenses to take control of the game and keep the points total under 49.5.
Amon-Ra St Brown to score a touchdown anytime
The Lions are known for their running game, but they also have a decent passing game as well, especially at home. Jared Goff is well known to be more productive indoors and that is exactly what he has when the Lions are at home.
Their best pass catching option is Amon-RA St Brown and the wide receiver is having a great season. So far, he has amassed 884 yards and nine touchdowns.
A lot of them touchdowns came in the first few weeks, but he has been a vital piece of the offence all season and he should get opportunities to score in this game.
With the Packers focusing on stopping the strong Lions run game it should open Amon-Ra and the other Lions wide receivers. Expect him to score a touchdown and finish off our 6/1 Thanksgiving bet builder.
