Lions-Packers Sunday Night Football Best Bet
Detroit Lions Team Total Under 22
The Lions earned plenty of attention this year because of their appearance on Hard Knocks. They have a chance at their first winning record under head coach Dan Campbell tonight, but it may or may not come with the possibility of a playoff spot. That will depend on what the Seahawks do against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday afternoon. But even if the Lions remain in the playoff hunt, they should struggle in Lambeau Field’s frigid conditions.

Detroit’s starting quarterback, Jared Goff, hasn’t looked good when playing outdoors this year. Although he has thrown an impressive 29 touchdowns, 24 of those scores came in the 10 games he played in a dome. He has thrown just five touchdown passes outside this year. Goff’s poor form outdoors has shown up in Detroit’s home and away splits. The Lions rank fifth in points per game (27.1) but 20th in points per away game (19.3).
Further, Green Bay’s defense has proven it can limit Detroit’s offense. The Packers gave up only 15 points to the Lions back in Week 9 despite Aaron Rodgers‘ three interceptions. Green Bay’s defense ranks an unremarkable 18th in both points allowed per game (21.9) and points allowed per home game (20.7), but both of those numbers slide in under Detroit’s team total. Green Bay’s defense also ranks eighth in points allowed over the last three weeks (16.7). Their strong recent form makes fading Detroit the best Lions-Packers bet for Sunday Night Football.
