Detroit Lions Vs Green Bay Packers
An NFC North showdown between the (8-8) Detroit Lions and the (8-8) Green Bay Packers with a playoff spot on the line.
The Lions need to win and need a Seahawks loss to sneak their way into the playoffs. The Lions have fought very hard to even put themselves in this position, they were one of the league’s worst teams and somehow have fought their way back for a chance to make the playoffs. If the Lions do not manage to make the playoffs they have nothing to feel ashamed about they have a lot of talent, fight, and ambition in them. This team could be set up for success for years to come. They’ll have some momentum heading into next season whether they make the playoffs or not. They do however face a difficult challenge which is facing the Packers in Lambeau Field, a sight Lions fans do not want to see. The key to success for them will be to pressure Aaron Rodgers and Limit Christian Watson.
The Packers started off the season shaky and Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense just couldn’t connect at all. But the second half of the season the Packers were able to find a rhythm and find themselves in playoff contention. A simple win would put them in the playoffs and a loss would essentially eliminate them from playoff contention. Rodgers at home could be a scary sight for the Lions, we’ve seen this story quite a few times. The Defense will have to play a lot better against a Lions team that has a lot of heart and physicality, they are an average defensive team. As for the offense they’ve found out that Christian Watson has become Rodgers favorite target, but the Packers will have to find the right balance between running the ball effectively and passing the ball.
Score Prediction: Packers Win (35-32)
