Premium Pick

After many years of losing to the Packers, Detroit finally won and covered both meetings last year and the Lions have covered five in a row against NFC teams going back to last season. Detroit is 3-0 ATS its last three games after getting blown out against the Jets in the season opener. The Lions lost in the final minute to Dallas last week while covering the 2.5-point spread. Matt Stafford had his best game of the season, completing 24-of-30 passes for 307 yards and two touchdowns and no interceptions and rookie running back Kerryon Johnson rushed for 55 yards on nine attempts and a TD and he could be the long-awaited running threat that the Lions have lacked for almost two decades. Green Bay bounced back from a loss at Washington and defeated Buffalo 22-0. Aaron Rodgers was still bothered by a knee injury and managed to complete 22-of-40 for 298 yards with a TD and interception. Rodgers also hinted after the game that he was dissatisfied with the play-calling and wants to get the ball to wide receiver Davante Adams more. The Packers are just 2-5 ATS their last seven games versus NFC North teams. Green Bay has gone UNDER in eight of its last 10 October games and last week's game against the Bills went UNDER by 21.5 points. Take the Lions and the UNDER.
