DETROIT, MI (theSpread) – The Green Bay Packers can’t afford to have a letdown when they take on the Detroit Lions this Sunday. But will their struggling division foes give them a hard time this weekend at Ford Field? Continue reading for picks, odds and more on this Week 14 NFC North matchup.
According to NFL Week 14 odds and oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com, the Packers are 6.5-point favorites over the Lions on Sunday. The over/under total for this game is currently 46.5 points.
The Packers improved to 8-4 with a win over the 49ers last Sunday and are now 7-5 against the spread according to latest NFL trends. They’re 3-3 on the road this year and have covered in just three of those six games away from Lambeau Field.
The Lions fell to 2-10 with their 24-20 loss to the Bears last weekend. They are 8-4 against the spread this year and have covered in five of their six games at Ford Field this year.
NFL Week 14 Pick:
The Lions represent a ton of value with the way they’ve played at home this year and seeing as how the Packers have a huge road test coming up next week against the Packers. But with the line sitting at 6.5 at some books, we’re less inclined to pick Detroit with the number coming off the all-import “7” – especially when there’s way more value in the total. The over is 5-2 in the last seven meetings between these two teams and 7-3 in the last 10 games in Detroit. The Lions have lost a couple of defensive starters the past couple of weeks and Aaron Rodgers is playing at a MVP-like level. He should have no problems finding Greg Jennings (who has been outstanding over the past month) in open space and strike for big plays. Assuming Drew Stanton and the Lions don’t lay an egg, the scoreboard should get plenty of action at Ford Field this Sunday. Our pick is the over 46.5.
