Packers at Lions Betting Picks

Over 49.5 Points (-105)

In recent years, when the Packers and Lions play indoors in Detroit, it's been fireworks, so even though both teams are good defensively, I'm backing the offenses to win out.

The past five Ford Field matchups between these two teams have averaged a total of 52.4 points -- and that's with one of the contests in that span being a 15-9 defensive slugfest. Outside of that low-scoring affair, the other four matchups averaged 59.5 points per game.

As mentioned, the Pack and Lions are both stout on D, ranking 12th and eighth, respectively, by our schedule-adjusted metrics. They're just as strong on offense, though, with Green Bay fifth and Detroit eighth. Add in the fast track indoors, and this 49.5-point total may prove to be a touch too low.

Jahmyr Gibbs Under 69.5 Rushing Yards (-114)

If you take this bet, I'd advise just not watching the game, because having any under on a player as electric as Jahmyr Gibbs makes every touch a horrifying experience. But I like Gibbs to go under 69.5 rushing yards.

A lot of it has to do with the matchup. Green Bay is very good against the run, ranking sixth by our numbers. In Week 1, the Packers held Gibbs to 19 rushing yards on nine carries, although game script played a big role as the Lions fell into a hole.

For the year, Green Bay is giving up just 85.3 rushing yards per game to RBs.

While Gibbs has posted some truly monster rushing totals of late, he's also been under 69.5 rushing yards in four of his last seven games, including outputs of 39 and 25 rushing yards. He hasn't logged more than 15 carries in a game across his last five outings, and given that this is a short week, we could see a little more David Montgomery than usual.

All in all, as scary as it is, the under on Gibbs' rushing prop is my favorite bet in this game.
