[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1050207, member: 17953"] The Packers "can" win this game. They have to play better than they have in almost every game this year. Detroit is not going to let them score early, then sit on a small lead, like others have, and they won't let them drive down the field quite so easily, to kick a game winning FG as the clock expires. The Lions may well be the best team in the NFL at this point, and if you want to beat them, you're going to really have to be on your game. I believe, the spread at this times is the Lions by 3-1/2.That's really a half point favorite on a neutral field, with the 3 being from having home cooking, not sleeping in a hotel room. That, small margin, in my opinion, is based on betting lines on the Packers that include a lot of sentimental betting for them to win, not the reality of the talent differences. Even though we might be able to match up fairly well at the first level against the Lions, I think the depth they have exceeds that of the Packers. They can rotate in fresh players on defense, and not give up as much talent on the field as the Packers do. That applies both offensively, and defensively. They're just deeper. There's another thing the Packers need to stop. The Lions are playing with momentum. They've played so well, so often, that they're playing downhill all the time, even when they're behind. They don't seem to lose sight of their goal, and eventually start to take control of games. That can't be said about the Packers. We have often needed a last second play to win games for us, and if that happens against the Lions, I'd be stunned. All that said, and I'm still a believer in the 2024 Packers. But, if they win, it will be by the skin of their teeth, because I see the Lions needing to implode on offense at the end, to make it happen. I j This is probably the match up of the two best teams in the NFC at this point, and if it was an epic, it would be called "Battle For NFC Supremacy!" I think we're going to find out just how good the Packers are on Thursday night. Either they're the real thing, or they're just pretenders. [/QUOTE]
