Whether you’ve been a fan of the Green Bay Packers or Detroit Lions since the days of Brett Favre & Barry Sanders or only since the new wave of Jordan Love & Jahmyr Gibbs, nothing screams Thanksgiving Day NFL football more than their NFC North rivalry. Therefore, we’re here to kick off the entire holiday slate with our best Packers vs. Lions predictions.

We know that just our top Packers vs. Lions picks will want to be made, so we’ve also provided you with a guaranteed 10x Novig Sportsbook promo code bonus.

Packers vs. Lions Predictions for Thanksgiving Day, NFL Week 13

Unsurprisingly, both of these NFC North squads were on the field last Thanksgiving Day, just not against one another. En route to their remarkable 15-2 season, the Lions only narrowly took down the Chicago Bears 23-20 while the Cheeseheads cruised through the Miami Dolphins 30-17.

Oh yeah, these rivals had arguably the most polarizing game in the season-opening weekend this year. Most Packers vs. Lions predictions had Detroit taking care of business, but the new (at the time) Micah Parsons-led Green Bay defense held the assumed explosive offense of the Lions to just 13 points.

That had fans and analysts alike freaking out about Detroit losing offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, now coaching the aforementioned Bears. However, Dan Campbell’s guys bounced back for their fans, and not just for Packers vs. Lions picks. They haven’t been nearly as impressive as last season, but they certainly aren’t short of playmakers.

Speaking of which, we saw Green Bay rule Josh Jacobs out against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. With that not happening until just before game time, we expect that it was in preparation for this game, which means that we think he should be considered for any Packers vs. Lions predictions.    

 

 

 

Packers vs. Lions Best Bet: David Montgomery Anytime TD Scorer (+140 at Novig)

They made us sweat it out, but once again, the Lions came through for one of our overall NFL best bets from the Week 12 slate. In two of the past three weeks, we’ve had some sort of combo with Jahmyr Gibbs and Detroit wins, and while we may not have had him going for 264 total yards and three TDs, we expected a big game.

So, when you see the target of our Packers vs. Lions predictions above, you’ll know that it’s certainly not to ignore Gibbs. He’s an absolute stud, but as we’ve also stated several times this year, he and David Montgomery have scored a TD in the same game more than any other pair of teammates in NFL history.

If you insist on only using the standard markets of the Packers vs. Lions odds, we expect Detroit to get their revenge from the Week 1 loss. However, after an overtime game and the short week for the holiday clash, we like this approach more. In five games against the Pack as a Lion, David Montgomery has scored five touchdowns.

That includes each of their second meetings of the season, which this one will be, and he even scored against Green Bay in his last game against them as a Bear! There is no shortage of weapons on this Detroit offense, but we still have David Montgomery as an anytime TD scorer (+140 at Novig) as the best bet from our Packers vs. Lions predictions.

Packers vs. Lions Injury Report & Latest News

As far as Packers vs. Lions injury news goes, Josh Jacobs is one of the biggest names in the entire NFL to monitor, not just this Thanksgiving Day game. We also learned prior to Sunday’s game that Jayden Reed is close to making his return. Speaking of offensive weapons, rookie WR Matthew Golden hasn’t been able to remain healthy.

Regarding Packers vs. Lions injury news in Detroit, their secondary has been plagued with them (offensively, WR Kalif Raymond didn’t return on Sunday). They have been without Kerby Joseph and Terrion Arnold, although DJ Reed did make his return. In any case, we have significant Packers vs. Lions injuries to keep tabs on with the Fantasy Alarm NFL injury report.
