Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers odds opened up at Packers -12. Sports Interaction currently had a line of -13 ½. The line had moved all the way up to -14 at some locations online and at the Planet Hollywood in Vegas. There was even action on this game at the current spread.
The Packers have surrendered a league-high 20 sacks, despite playing one fewer game than most teams due to their early bye. A combination of injuries and poor play are to blame and the Packers brought back the veteran Tauscher this week to try to stabilize the line.
The Lions did not make the type of turnaround we witnessed with Miami last year, however, they are showing some improvements. Detroit has some emerging offensive threats in Bryant Johnson, Dennis Northcutt and Kevin Smith. Green Bay will need to keep these guys at bay.
Sagarin we believe has an accurate read on this one at Green Bay by 11 points.
Green Bay owns Detroit in this series, winning 9 of the last 10. Only 3 of those games were won by more than the current spread however.
Some important Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers odds trends to consider:
The Lions are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games as a road underdog of 10.5 or greater.
