The question I have at this point, is how far both teams have come since then? I don't think we can necessarily use that last game as a guide for this one. What I'm seeing is the total work for both teams, over the course of the entire year. The Lions have scored 383 points to the Packers 318. Incidentally, the 383 is tied with the Ravens for top scoring teams in the NFL. The Lions have given up 203 to the Packers 240. The 203 points allowed is second most to only the Chargers at 188. The Lions have both the top scoring offense, and stringiest defense in the NFC, and a whopping +178 in scoring, over 12 games. That's an average of almost +15 points per game. They are, at this point, the top team in the NFL, when it comes to putting points on the board, and stopping the opponents from scoring. It kind of curbs my optimism to a degree.IF the Packers do beat the Lions, they're going to be very tough to beat from here on in, through the playoffs.</blockquote>
