Meanwhile, the Packers are 4-0 ATS in their last four games overall and 4-1 ATS in their last five games against the NFC. Green Bay went 13-6 ATS in their last 19 points after the ATS win.
pluck or pluck: I can stab lions here. Either way, it should be a good game because both teams still have playoff aspirations – and they both need help from Seattle. In their first meeting on November 6, Detroit cruised to a 15-9 victory thanks to three interceptions from Aaron Rodgers. Both teams are scoring better lately, so I would like this team to be better. Green Bay has scored 24 or more points in five straight games and will be tough at home. However, the Lions have not scored 20 or more points in eight consecutive games themselves. Detroit would love to hole up in a tight game. It must be fun.
