The Detroit Lions meet the Green Bay Packers in a Thanksgiving Day NFC contest. Detroit comes into the game with a 7-4 record and has shown inconsistency in recent weeks. They secured a dominant win over Washington, scoring 44 points and racking up a significant yardage advantage. However, they stumbled against Philadelphia in a low-scoring loss, unable to move the ball effectively.
Their bounce-back win in overtime against New York showed grit, as they clawed back from deficits and maintained their composure in crucial moments. The Lions' season has been marked by spurts of explosive offense mixed with lapses in defensive execution. They've managed to avoid losing streaks, but questions remain about their ability to handle stronger defensive units.
Green Bay enters the matchup at 7-3-1 and has also endured ups and downs. Losses to Carolina and Philadelphia were both tightly contested, with the offense struggling to find rhythm in key moments. Yet their recent performances suggest a turning point. Back-to-back wins over the New York Giants and Minnesota were anchored by improved defensive play and a more balanced offensive approach.
The Packers held Minnesota to just 6 points, signaling that their defense has tightened up significantly. This recent surge in form could make them a difficult opponent for Detroit, especially with the playoff race intensifying.

Our Green Bay Packers vs Detroit Lions Prediction
Detroit's offensive heartbeat lies with quarterback Jared Goff and running back Jahmyr Gibbs. Goff has delivered when protected, putting up over 300 yards and multiple touchdowns in recent games. Gibbs has emerged as a dynamic rushing threat, breaking through for over 200 yards in one standout performance and consistently gaining yardage to set the tone. Amon-Ra St. Brown continues to be a reliable receiving target, creating space and converting key downs.
For Green Bay, quarterback Jordan Love has shown poise in recent games, managing the game effectively and avoiding costly turnovers. Running back Josh Jacobs has been a crucial asset, grinding out tough yards and extending drives. Backup Emanuel Wilson proved his worth with a breakout game, adding depth to the rushing attack. Defensively, Green Bay has excelled at pressuring the quarterback and forcing mistakes, which could pose a serious threat to Detroit's pass-heavy offense.
With both teams in playoff contention, this matchup is critical. Detroit's offense can put up points in bunches, but Green Bay's improved defense and steady ground game could control the pace. If the Packers can limit big plays and maintain possession, they hold a slight advantage. Expect a tightly contested game with momentum shifts throughout. Our prediction for Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers: Over 49.5 points.
