Detroit at Green Bay

The Green Bay Packers have had two weeks to try and digest their inexcusable loss at Cincinnati. They had the lead late in the fourth quarter, and while trying to run the clock down, they fumbled. The ball was picked up by Cincinnati and run in for a touchdown. There is quite the sense of urgency now for The Pack as they enter this game at 1-2 and must avoid falling to 1-3. The good news is that the Packers are starting to run the ball better, and that can only help to balance the previous pass-only offense. It should also make for a game that runs fewer plays as the clock will be moving more when Green Bay has the ball. Detroit certainly does not want to get in a shootout on the road vs. Green Bay as that would be a mistake. They need to run the ball and sustain some drives. That has for the most part been how these teams have played each other. Discounting a week 17 contest when starters were not playing, these teams have averaged just 35.8 total points per game in their last four meetings. This total is set sky-high. Make the play on the UNDER.
