The Green Bay Packers are sitting at 8-4 and in second place behind the Chicago Bears in the NFC North. Meanwhile the Detroit Lions are in the cellar once again after Matthew Stafford has missed much of the season with injuries. This seems like a fairly easy game to pick (and it probably should be).
NFL Picks Week 14: Green Bay Packers Vs. Detroit Lions
The Packers are simply the better team. They have the seventh ranked offense and first ranked defense. They’ve won five of their last six and all four of their losses this year have come by three points. You can make an easy case that this team should be 10-2 or 11-1.
The Lions? They’ve dropped five in a row -- only two of which were blowouts -- and have scored more than 20 points just once in that stretch. The Lions can score some points, there’s no doubt about that, but they’re far from the consistency necessary to think they can beat the Packers.
Green Bay is a seven point road favorite so you know what the NFL odds think of them. Taking Green Bay would be a smart move.
