Green Bay Packers Team News
When the Green Bay Packers lost to the Philadelphia Eagles on Nov. 27, absolutely no one thought a playoff appearance was possible. They were at 4-8 and needed a miracle. The Packers managed to win four games in a row and with the help of some other results, they are in a situation where they can decide their own fate.
If the Packers beat the Detroit Lions at home, they are in the playoffs. It is common knowledge how good they play at their “Lambau Field” in December and January and they definitely hope to do the job as expected. Aaron Rodgers finally started to find the right targets, while the defense is at a more than good level. They defeated the Minnesota Vikings by 41:17 last week and will have the same goal this Sunday.
The Packers are aware that they are a better team than the Lions. It will be crucial for them not to make rookie mistakes and not to have more turnovers than the opponent. If this is the case, they will almost certainly win and earn a place in the playoffs.
Detroit Lions Team News
The Detroit Lions also did a phenomenal job in the second half of the season. After seven rounds, they were at 1-6. Now, they are 8-8. In the last two months, they only lost to the Buffalo Bills and the Carolina Panthers which is an indication of the form they are in.
The problem for the Lions is that they don’t decide their own destiny. A few hours before this game, the Seattle Seahawks will play against the Los Angeles Rams. If the Seahawks win, the Lions are eliminated from the playoff race. On the other hand, if the Rams triumph, then the Lions would make the playoffs with a win against the Packers.
Jared Goff traditionally doesn’t play well in winter conditions. The Lions are a team that plays their home games indoors and certainly won’t feel comfortable in Green Bay cold. Their defense will have to outsmart Rodgers in order to neutralize own potential offensive mistakes that are likely inevitable.
Green Bay Packers vs Detroit Lions H2H
The Detroit Lions won last two games against the Green Bay Packers. Before that, the Packers had five wins in a row. In the first H2H game this season, score was 15:9 for the Lions.
Injuries and Suspensions
Dean Lowry is injured and won’t play for the Green Bay Packers, while all other players are available. Kayode Awosika is out for the Detroit Lions, while DeShon Eliott, Jeff Okudah, Jason Cabinda, Frank Ragnow and Michael Brockers are questionable.
Green Bay Packers vs Detroit Lions Prediction
When the Detroit Lions got into a situation to decide on their own destiny, they suffered a tough loss against the Carolina Panthers a couple of weeks ago. The momentum is on the Green Bay Packers side. They play at home, have a better roster, a much more experienced quarterback and head coach, and it will be a sensation if they don’t win a key game of this season.
