The Packers were the most wagered on side of the week, more so than any other NFL or College Football team. The line has only moved a half point down from where it opened and there were few expectations for additional line movements.
The Packers come into this game with a 6-3 record while Detroit is now 4-5 after losing to Minnesota last week. Green Bay has lost all but one game in this series over the last ten.
Detroit has had some success where the line falls between +3 and -3. They are 9-3 Straight Up over the past three seasons and 7-3 Against The Spread.
In games played where the total is 49.5 or greater, Detroit has failed miserably to cover since 1993. They are just 2-11 Straight Up and 3-9 Against The Spread.
Off a loss versus a division rival, the Lions are 7-2 ATS.
The Packers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 vs. NFC North but they are also 0-5 ATS vs. a team with a losing record and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a S.U. win.
To offset this, the Lions are just 1-6 ATS in their last 7 vs. NFC North and 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS loss.
The public should be right backing Green Bay at -3 especially with only one of Detroit’s losses occurring within three points in this series over the past 10 meetings.
