Green Bay Packers Favored on Thanksgiving Against Detroit Lions

by Alexander Banks on Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

At 9-1 the Pack have a stranglehold on the NFC North and more importantly they are a money making 8-1-1 ATS for 2007.  Nonexistent earlier in the season, the Packer running game has improved greatly with the emergence of Ryan Grant.  Dinged up, he could be in for a long day as opposing rushers averaged less than 64 yards per game against the Lions over the last four games. 

The Lions passing defense, on the other hand, ranks 30th in the NFL surrendering almost 258 yards per game so expect the reinvigorated Brett Favre to have another big game.  The Lions’ inconsistent offense has a pathetic 43 yards total over the past two games on the ground and will most likely stick to their passing attack yet again.  Although the Packers have had some great success over the past decade or so, they are just 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games in Detroit.  Sportsbook.com’s early bettors don’t seem too concerned about this trend as an overwhelming 88% of the action is on Green Bay (-3).
