Lions vs. Packers Odds, Spread and Total

It’s tough to bet on the Lions as 7.5-point favorites with the way their defense has been playing lately.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t find a way to back them!

Instead, let’s look at Lions -4.5 points in the first half at +100 odds.

Green Bay is 31st in the NFL, averaging ONLY 5.9 points in first halves this season! Detroit dominated the first half in this matchup earlier this season, leading 27-3, at halftime.

There’s no reason to expect anything different the second time around, especially with the Lions near full strength.

However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that we should bet Lions -7.5 for the full game.

This is the second-biggest spread of the season for Detroit, and it has won by more than a touchdown just once in the past four games.

And the defense has certainly been suspect, allowing 26+ points in three of their past five games.
