Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions odds were not readily available at the start of the week due to Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford's injury status (knee). Daunte Culpepper fills in for Stafford. Detroit is not protecting its quarterback. The Packers sacked the Lions quarterbacks five times in Week 6.
The key to stopping Green Bay passing attack, according to Scout.com: Green Bay has allowed a whopping 43 sacks, which leads the league by a wide margin. The teams who best defend this offense have rerouted the wideouts and disrupted the timing of the pass play. In turn, as the play takes longer to develop, Green Bay's protection often breaks down.
Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers was only sacked twice last Sunday with Mark Tauscher and Chad Clifton manning the tackle spots. And last week, Detroit was without one of its better defensive linemen in Dwayne White. So maybe -- just maybe -- Rodgers will not take an utter beating this week. Rodgers threw for 358 yards in the first meeting, but Detroit did sack him five times.
Green Bay has won the last 8 games, clobbering them by more than the current spread over the last 5.
