    History repeats itself as the Packers lose this Thanksgiving

    Flashback to 1962

    One of the more famous, or for Packers' fans infamous, Thanksgiving Day games was the 1962 game. The Packers were the defending NFL champs and came into the game undefeated with a 10-0 record. In a dominating performance on defense, the Lions sacked Packers quarterback Bart Starr 11 times, including once in the end zone for a safety. Detroit won 26-14. The loss was the only one for the Packers all season. They finished the regular season with a record of 13-1, and won their second consecutive NFL Championship. The Lions had a good year too, finishing 11-3.
    After the 1962 game, Vince Lombardi had had enough of the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. He insisted that the NFL have other teams play the Lions that day as well. The Packers and Lions played to a 13-13 tie in 1963, and the NFL began scheduling other opponents for the Lions on Thanksgiving starting in 1964. The series with the Packers had worked out well for the Lions, who compiled a 9-3-1 record for the 13 games. The Packers and Lions would not meet again on Thanksgiving Day for 21 years.


    Fast forward to 2011

    Green bay comes in undefeated at 10 - 0 while Detroit is 7 -3, this is a perfect opportunity for the Lions in this spot,I don't know where your $$$$ will be but mine will be on Detroit ML for sure...........

    Kevin Smith is the missing Spark that the Lions missed with Jahvid Best. Looks like the offense is back on track now. Should be a great battle, because Rodgers has cooled down a little bit while Stafford is hot again. I don't think Rodgers get back on track in such a short trip on the road.

    Green Bay seems unbeatable but I've seen some crazy things happen in Packers-Lions Thanksgiving games before.

    Lions can generate pressure with 4 at home and can score touchdowns in the redzone...

    These are 2 things you must do to beat the Packers thus year...

    1962 has nothing to do with it...

    Starks will most likely have a big game to slow down pass rush, so taking his over props would probably be a good idea...

    Lions could easily cover and even win, but betting against the greatest football player to ever play is not a good idea...

    Agreed

    Here is my take,Detroit will want this game more than GreenBay,they tend to play a lot better on Thanksgiving even when they suck,lets face it they haven't had a half decent team since the 90's,but now they are a pretty good team with an opportunity that is knocking hard to hand the Pack their 1st loss,PRICELESS..........

    this dumb tranny just pulls shit out of its ass

    Lions ATS record last 7 Thanksgiving games

    0-7

    haven't had a half decent team since the 90s
    another gem from the tranny

    2007 Lions were hyped with a 6-4 record (7-3 this year) going into the Thanksgiving game. Who'd they play? Green Bay (-3.5). GB won 37-26

    GB had their letdown today and will refocus. Stafford will be pick city for that GB secondary. GB won't be stopped in the dome vs. that joke D. DET is a fraud just like they were in 2007. GB will win just like 2007

    Just fade this tranny clown and profit

    I dont think history is going to stop Aaron Rodgers from playing at elite level right now. Maybe if they get dirty, they might concuss Rodgers. Lions playing dirty? Yeah, it might happen, but I think the packers roll here. Definitely leaning towards the pack even with a td spread.

    Edit: It would be in my best interest that Rodgers has a shitty week and megatron goes off in FF! Either way, can't wait for this game and the Ravens game.

    Why not just take the points, I think it's a solid play. GB didn't play that well today, defense couldn't tackle anybody and Starks sprained his knee (Would be shocked if he plays) and Jennings is banged up too (played limited snaps). With the short week, injury concerns and GB coming off a less then stellar win I think it's a bad spot for GB. They appear to be ripe for the picking in this spot; it's Detroit or no play IMO and I know my team well.

    my sim has Green Bay SU 88% and covering -6 62%, you must be completely stupid to not take the +6 at least. play +6 road dogs(15-22 SU 40% since '06) moneyline. NOT home dogs +6(5-19 SU 20% since '06) moneyline.

    Green Bay is definitely beatable. I think there just a bad break or two away from a loss. It's just a matter of time. Could be this Thursday.

    It makes me laugh at how people are so fixated with predicting who will hand the packers their first loss this season that they have reverted all the way back in history to justify their play. Im putting my money not on what happened 50 years ago but what is happening now. And as of right NOW, Rodgers and the Packs are gonna pick apart the Lions at home on Thanksgiving Day. 34-17 Packers! Oh and those 17 pts from Lions come after HT. BOL
