Even last year, Detroit who was favored (and line got steamed very high too) and had something to play for while GB was resting its starters and played Matt Flynn got smoked in this game even after they were willing to concede the game. For whatever reason, the Lions cannot win in GB.
Anyone see anything changing? I think this might be the year they end their 20 year losing streak in GB. I like DET + the points especially at +7. Lions are not as bad as their record indicates and should have won earlier this year against GB. Really this team should be more like 7-5 or even 8-4. This is not a bad team and have maybe the best player in the NFL. Packers have lots of injuries and I do not see their offense as dynamic and potent as in years past.
I like Det +7 and I like them to win straight up and end this streak.
