Talent wise, I think Detroit is the better team. Unfortunately they can’t close out games, and teams use us as their “get right” game.
BUT, if Detroit ends up winning today, you are going to see some real panic in GB. 4-5 makes for a salvageable season. 3-6 is much harder to comeback from with that roster
I will save you sometime today game starts out Lions get a lead play well home crowd is into it.Instead of scoring a TD to finish the half and settle for a FG up 10 at half.They come out flat in the 3rd offense forgets how to play football and they lose by 3.

Tied with Josh Allen. Imagine what he could do if his top 5 receivers had been healthy the last 4 games?
Imo GB is also in tank mode…they’re gonna go full vanilla, but the Lions will go balls out and win a game that will utlimately hurt right in the beans.
I know that preseason schedule expectations never turn out as they seem, but this year the difference between expected and actual is really quite severe.
Before the season I’d seen the Lions as estimated to have a top 5 easiest schedule. Instead our opponents are 38-17 meaning our average opponent so far has been approximately a 12-5 team. Our opponents so far have a winning percentage of .690 which is an astonishing 39% more difficult than Pitt’s schedule last year which lead the league at .574.
If you told me two months ago thatI Green Bay in week 8 would have a worse record than any of our opponents up to that point I wouldn’t have believed you.
