Detroit Lions - NFL Betting Analysis

The Lions head into week 18 looking for another win, as they picked up 31 point victory over the Chicago Bears (41-10). Detroit entered the game as -4.5 point favorites and went on to cover the spread. The two teams combined point total of 51 remained below the betting line of 52. On their way to picking up a 31-point win, Detroit held a 28-point lead heading into the 4th quarter at 38-10. Through 16 games, the Lions have an ATS record of 11-5. So far, they have an over-under record of 10-6. This week's betting total of 49.5 is right in line with their previous games.

Heading into this week's matchup, the Lions' offense is averaging 27.1 points per game, placing them 5th in the NFL. Look for the team to put together another strong offensive performance, as they are facing a Packers defense ranked 17th in points per game. Throughout the game, Detroit should be able to move the ball through the air, as they are the 8th-ranked team in terms of passing yards. On the ground, the Lions should be in line for a good performance, as they are one of the better-rushing teams in the league and are facing a defense that has its problems stopping the run.

 

Green Bay Packers - NFL Betting Analysis

Green Bay will be looking to add another win to their resume, as they picked up a division win over the Minnesota Vikings. The Packers won by a margin of 41-17. Besides winning straight up, the Packers also came home with an ATS win as the -3.0 point favorites. With their combined 58 points, the two teams exceeded the betting over-under number of 47. On their way to picking up a 24-point win, Green Bay held a 24-point lead heading into the 4th quarter at 27-3. Through 16 games, the Packers have an ATS record of 8-8. So far, they have an over-under record of 8-8. This week's betting total of 49.5 is higher than the line in their previous games.

Heading into this week's matchup, the Packers offense is averaging 22.1 points per game, placing them 14th in the NFL. Look for the team to put together a strong offensive performance vs a Lions defense giving up 25.7 points per game. Although the Packers come into the game ranked just 17th in pass yards per game, they will benefit from facing a Detroit secondary that is vulnerable through the air. We expect Green Bay to have an above-average performance in the passing attack. This year, the Green Bay rushing attack is averaging 125.6 yards per game while sitting 17th in attempts.

 

Today's NFL Betting Pick - Lions vs. Packers

Detroit comes into the game looking to continue their recent success over Green Bay, as they have won 2 of their last 3 matchups. The over-under record in these games sits at 2-1, with the average scoring total coming in at 47.7 points. Heading into the second meeting of the season between these two teams, the Lions already have a win over the Packers. In the previous matchup, Detroit won by a score of 15-9. Not only did the Lions come out on top in the win column, but they also covered the spread as +4.5 point underdogs.

The Detroit Lions have gone 2-1 vs the spread in these games. The Lions' offense has averaged 23.0 points per game over the 3 most recent meetings with Green Bay, compared to the Packers at 24.67.

Over their last 3 regular season games, the Lions have gone 2-1 straight up. Against the spread, the team is 2-1 in these same games.

Detroit has played well in their previous 3 road games, going 2-1 straight up. In this stretch, they averaged 24.67 points per game while allowing 24.0. The team also performed well vs the spread at 2-1.

Green Bay has put together a record of 3-0 over their past 3 games. In these games, they have a 3-0 record vs the spread and an over-under mark of 1-2.

When looking at their past 3 home matchups, Green Bay has an ATS record of 2-1 while averaging 27.33 per game. The team went 2-1 overall in these games.

Recommended ATS Betting Pick: Lions 4.5

Recommended OU Betting Pick: Over 49.5
