Featured Game: Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers (-1.5/48)

Time: 4:25 pm ET / 1:25 pm PT

Television: CBS, Paramount, NFL+

Detroit had an exceptional season in 2024 with a 15-2 mark while clinching home field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs with a first round bye. Both losses were at home against Tampa Bay by four points and against Buffalo by six points but it did the Lions little good as they welcomed Washington and while they held a 14-10 lead midway through the second quarter, they squandered that lead and never got it back. They lost out on this golden opportunity and then ended up losing offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn which is rare for a team to lose both in the same season. It was not a good end to the season for the Packers as they lost their last two regular season games against the Vikings and Bears both by two points and then lost at Philadelphia in the Wild Card Round by 12 points despite outgaining the Eagles but four turnovers did them in. Three of those were interceptions by Jordan Love after a solid regular season where he threw for nearly 3,400 yards with 25 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. The addition of Micah Parsons on defense is huge although he will be a game time decision so getting him in will be a bonus. The Packers are 15-3 ATS in the first three weeks of the season since 2019, including 7-0 ATS at home, which is the best of any team in the NFL.

Pick: (476) Green Bay Packers -1.5 -110
