Ray Rivard of Lombardi Ave‘s prediction: Packers sweep

"Both the Packers and Lions have payback issues against one another. The Packers want to sweep the Lions this year because Detroit somehow won in Wisconsin last year. That hurt. However, the Lions are also still stinging from the Hail Mary win Aaron Rodgers, Richard Rodgers and the Packers put on them late last season. That play will never be forgotten – by everyone. I feel the Lions, withoutCalvin Johnson to lean on, is a much weaker opponent, but they are a divisional opponent and always a tough one. Should be an interesting matchup this coming season. In the end, I see the Packers sweeping the Lions."

Lions’ record: 0.5-3.5

Next: Week 4 and 14 vs. Bears
