Lions vs Packers Prediction: NFC North Rivals Clash in Green Bay (Nov 3)

• The Lions embarrassed Tennessee on Sunday, beating them 52-14, and rising to 6-1.
• Green Bay improved to 6-2 following a hotly contested, 30-27, win over the Jaguars.
• These two teams last met on November 23, 2023, in a game that the Packers won 29-22.

Detroit and Green Bay face off in a key Week 9 NFL clash. Our Lions vs Packers prediction involves Green Bay leaning on their home-field advantage. This is an excellent matchup between two of the best teams in the NFC.

Lions Emerge as NFC Favorites

The Lions sit atop the NFC with a 6-1 record, currently on pace to receive the conference’s top seed and first-round bye. Unfortunately, Detroit is still a ways away from locking down any postseason spot. They compete in a dangerous NFC North. The overall record in that division is 21-8, which ranks as by far the best in the NFL. Detroit also holds an NFL-best +100 point differential. Dan Campbell has built a true Super Bowl contender.

Packers Skipped Over Rebuild

Green Bay has won four straight games, improving to 6-2 on the season. Showcasing an impressive level of competence as an organization, the Packers moved on from Aaron Rodgers at just the right time. Developed behind him was Jordan Love, who has surpassed Rodgers at their current levels and led the Packers to a great start. Backup QB Malik Willis was also 2-0 when Love was out, further proving the Packers’ strength as a team.

Lions vs Packers Prediction: Green Bay Leans on Home Crowd

This should be an ultra-competitive matchup between two very capable teams. Last season, they went 1-1 against each other, with the road teams going 2-0. That pattern favors the Lions this week, but beating Green Bay at Lambeau won’t be an easy task. Detroit’s 5-game winning streak meets Green Bay’s 4-game streak, with one of them destined to break. Ultimately, I think the home teams will win this year. I like the Packers, 27-24.
