    Lions + 7.5 Packers

    The hook has hooked me in.
    Lions should give the Packers a real tough game this weekend.
    Even without their center if he gets suspended.

    Rodgers needed a bullshit pass TD yesterday just not to get shutout of the endzone for consecutive games.
    First and goal from the one, he had to throw it three times? What? Lacy can't punch it in?

    Week before, Bufallo made Rodgers their personal meat puppet, 0 TD's 2 picks. Lions defense is just as good.
    GB is going to it's hands full with Calvin Johnson, don't forget Lions back field is back together with Bush now.
    Bush popped for 54 yards yesterday, but he only had 7 touches, do the arithmitic, that's almost 8 yards a pop.

    Lions to keep it within 7 for me, outright win is not out of the question either.

    You should be able to get a better number now that Raiola has been suspended for the game.

    Raiola's game isn't that good anymore, he's not a pro-bowl center caliber lineman anymore.
    Stafford will work with (not sure who's going to be snapping Sunday yet) all week.
    If you are in the NFL as a backup center, I'm sure you can handle the snaps and the blocking just fine.

    Bookmaker once taught me, in the NFL, top QB's are worth 4 to 6 points, top wide outs maybe 2, everybody else is not really relevant.

    Packers are a different team at home. 7-0 home and 4-4 on the road.

    Packers should win this one but Lions will probably keep it close to 1 score. I think 7.5 is a good line. Stay away.

    Stafford has never beat a winning team on the road in his career. Majority of those losses have been by more than 7..........

    Earlier in the game they kept running it on the goal line and couldn't get it in. That o-line isn't great.

    OK, I did not see the whole game, I saw the last TD on Red Zone.
    Thanks.
    Once again, I said an outright win is possible, not calling for that, I am liking the 7.5, bought a little of that, may buy a little more if I can get 8.5

    This feels like a no brainer. Line is a point too high imo.

    Hard to trust the lions in these kind of spots. When's stafford ever played well in a meaningful game? This team always stinks it up when it really matters, and they aren't good on the road. Pretty sure stafford is always horrible in lambo too. It makes sense on paper and the line is nice but still hard to get behind this team in these spots

    Pack has played lights out at home averaging 41.1 PPG at Lambeau. Lions are averaging 15 PPG on the road someone else already mentioned Lions have never beaten a team on the road that finished above .500 with Stafford at QB add in the revenge factor for the "RELAX" post game and sprinkle in one the just total domination GB has over DET @ Lambeau since 1991 and I wouldn't touch DET!

    Packers win fairly easily IMO.

    Packers are a great team at home and just average on the road.

    i would need +14.5 to consider Lions in this spot.

    nasher falling into the trap of putting too much stock into the Packers last 2 weeks performance...

    last week means nothing.

    Aaron Rodgers will go off in Lambeau

    that is true. And if you look at the whole body of work the Packers have done this year its hard to find any flaws in the way they have played at Lambeau except for that close call vs Jets but i will say the Jets have a fiesty defense and a coach in Rex Ryan who can coach'em up with the best of them

    Green Bay wins this easily...They are still fighting for home field advantage and don't think for one second that doesn't mean something...Nobody in the NFC is going to Seattle and beating the Seahawks...I think we can all agree on that...and the Packers just played back to back road games, not an easy task even for pro teams...and they have been invincible at home winning by an average of 30+ points a game...and remember Detroit is still a dome team that doesn't play well outdoors in frigid temperatures and/or inclement weather and this Sunday it's supposed to be 15 degrees!...Yes, I checked the weather channel already!.......I see Green Bay winning 31 - 14....
