Roaring Into MNF

The Lions lost the first game against the San Francisco 49ers, but the offense showed sparks that will build optimism in Motown.

The Packers defense is beatable as evident by the torching they got from the Saints in the opener.

Lions vs Packers Prediction

The Lions biggest problem will be on defense. The Lions lost the services of cornerback Jeffrey Okudah who is lost for the season with a ruptured Achilles tendon.That will give Rodgers and Co.the ability to make big plays on offense.

Everyone believes that the Packers will rebound.Rodgers is facing a passing defense that allowed 12.3 YPA and a 136.5 passer rating in the opener and was the first in football a season ago. The Packers have covered in eight of the last nine games after a loss. However, Dan Campbell has this team playing hard. While it’s not smart to bet on the Lions, it is smart to bet on the total.

The Packers offense will put up plenty of points and prime time games this year are on a perfect over streak.
