Hoping to see more of Riddick with Moore out. I also wouldn't mind seeing Ramirez start over Swanson.

Can't believe Lions opened as a 6 point underdog with the way both teams have been playing lately and the fact they are at home and have won 3 of 4. The line has been bet down to 3 points now still in favor of GB. If I was a gambling man I would say this is a good time to bet the Lions. With that said, GB is desperate for a win and it's hard to imagine them throwing away what was guaranteed to be a playoff season not long ago. The only way I see us really losing this game is if Quinn doesn't suit up. He's the QB of the defense and Ihedigbo has been terrible against Rodgers since being here. If the Lions win tonight, I can see them running the table and going 9-7 then missing the playoffs because of CJ's goal-line fumble against Seattle.

I took the Lions +3.5. That said...I have only been right one time on betting the Lions this year (last week)

Lions have a great shot at home. It wont be easy though even with injured packers oline

Rodgers is due for a 27/32....350 yard.....5 TD day. He is too damn good.

Hopefully, it's next week!!!

I think this is going to be a very entertaining game tonight and the Lions will really be up for it. GOOOO LIONS! :rush:

I have a good feeling about this game for some reason. So much so I'm starting Stafford in fantasy (picked him off the waivers two weeks ago). Part of it is also I'm pretty much guaranteed to finish 1st overall heading into the playoffs regardless of the outcome of this week.

 

[mhughes0021]

have to take advantage of their injury plagued oline....

 

[tigermud]

The lions will win tonight

23-20

I expect the Packers offense to be hot tonight. Hopefully our offense can actually show up again.

 

[tigermud]

Back to back weeks we don't have the ball first! Yeah!

 

[johnny2x2x]

Slay is becoming an All Pro level corner.

 

[manchild98]

Nice work D!

 

[johnny2x2x]

Nice play!!!

 

[grandy]

The NZI was a trap for a run play...nice strategy Caldwell

 

[manchild98]

Damn one man to beat and he was gone.

 

[manchild98]

A lot more confidence from the offense.

 

[johnny2x2x]

Wow, what a rocket by Stafford.

 

[Monster]

This team...

 

[manchild98]

Can't have that penalty.
