The defending champion Packers have not been tested much in their quest to repeat as world champions, but that wasn’t the case in Week 11 at home against what turned out to be a game Tampa Bay Buccaneers outfit. Only up two (28-26) with less than three minutes to go, the Lambeau faithful held their collective breath up until QB Aaron Rodgers connected with WR Jordy Nelson from 40-yards out to put the win in the record book. The TD reception was Nelson’s second of the game and third thrown by Rodgers. The Packers’ field general enters this Week 12 Turkey Day matinee with the Lions having thrown for 3168 yards to go along with 31 TDs and just four interceptions.

Along with their unblemished 10-0 SU record, the Packers have taken care of their end against the pro football betting lines covering the closing number in seven of those contests. Three of those pointspread wins have come on the road where they’ve won their five games played by an average of 8.2 PPG. Green Bay is 5-3 SU & 4-4 ATS the L/8 times it took to the NFC North road. The Packers key to success in today’s spot will be the offensive line’s ability to contain the Lions ferocious pass rush, as well as keeping Detroit honest defensively in being able to run the pigskin.

If you laid the touchdown with the Lions last week, you more or less gave up on the bet or ripped the ticket up after the Panthers grabbed a 24-7 lead with a bulk of the 2nd quarter remaining. Fortunately, the never say die Lions rattled off 42 of the game’s final 50 points and pulled out their third come from behind victory of the season when trailing by 17 points or more. The win was simply huge for Head Coach Jim Schwartz’s squad who would have fell a game in back of the Chicago Bears in the NFC North standings after easily disposing of the Chargers later in the day. With the recent news of QB Jay Cutler breaking his thumb, Detroit finds itself in an even better position at qualifying for the playoffs.

On top of pulling off the amazing Week 11 comeback home win, the Lions also improved their pro football betting lines record to 6-3-1 ATS for the year; a mark that finds them ranked fifth on the Top ATS list overall. It also snapped their two-game losing streak at home and moved them to 3-2 SU & ATS as a host for the year. Detroit has dropped each of its L/7 Thanksgiving Day games having last felt the thrill of a victory after scoring the 22-14 win over the Packers back in 2003.

Pro Football Betting Prediction – This was a match-up many circled once the 2011-12 regular season schedule was released as a possible loss for the Green Bay Packers. Detroit played them awfully tough a year ago falling 28-26 as 14.5-point underdogs in Lambeau before upsetting the Packers 7-3 as seven-point underdogs in a game they knocked Aaron Rodgers out of in the first half. The win snapped Detroit’s 10-game losing streak in the division rivals recent series. With both of these defenses showing a penchant to give up points in bunches, a barnburner looks to be in the making with the last team possessing the pigskin having a shot at the win. Back the Lions and ‘over’ in what should be a highly entertaining match-up from the opening kick.
