Both teams dealing with a ton of injuries. 

Lions could get LT Taylor Decker, RB David Montgomery, CB Emmanuel Moseley and S Kerby Joseph back. 

Packers could get RB Aaron Jones, WR Christian Watson, and OL David Bahktiari back. 

Detroit Lions have won the last three meetings between the two teams and come into the game slightly favored in the matchup for the division lead.

Who you got?

Love has looked good within the system, but you can see the void in the Packers' offense where everyone was used to watching Rodgers make a play. The Lions should be able to make life somewhat difficult for him, so this is a good test to see if he's for real.

 

Since when did the NFL start scheduling good games on Thursdays and bad games on Sunday afternoons?

One of the first games I can remember where the Lions should win and the Packers just get to sit back and hope it goes well. Injuries are going to play a huge role this week. The Packers are banged up and just about their best players on offense outside of Doubs have been out or went out last week. The injury report is just brutal right now not just by the amount of injuries but who is injured. The Packers could almost put together an all pro team from their injuries:

LT1 (Blue Chip)

RT1 (Rising Star)

LG1 (Blue Chip)

WR1 (Rising Star)

RB1 (Blue Chip)

CB1 (Blue Chip) 

CB4 (Replaced CB1)

ILB2 (Average Veteran)

I could see the Packers limping in and resting all of them or playing a few but either way most likely see even healthy players playing on a snap count limiting their effectiveness. I just don't see a way the Packers win this unless their defense just puts the clamps on Goff which has been pretty difficult the last couple years.
