The Green Bay Packers will attempt to snap a four-game losing streak when they go on the road to Ford Field to take on the Detroit Lions.
Green Bay is 3-5 on the year after a 27-17 loss to the Buffalo Bills, they’ve lost four straight games, and are in danger of missing the playoffs through eight weeks.
Detroit has lost their last five games after starting 1-1, and have one of the worst rosters in the NFL. A 31-27 loss to the Dolphins dropped the Lions to 1-6, and they find themselves squarely in No.1 overall pick territory.

Packers vs Lions Prediction
Packers 31, Lions 23
Both of these teams have struggled in the last couple of weeks and are looking to snap losing streaks.
The Packers anticipated taking a step back after the loss of Davante Adams this offseason, but it’s been even worse than imagined.
Green Bay is scoring just 18.1 points per game and is in the bottom 10 of the NFL in scoring offense this season. Aaron Rodgers hasn’t been bad, but he hasn’t been his normal self. He has thrown four interceptions, which is the same amount he threw all of last season.
The duo of Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon have split duties in the run-game, combining for 930 yards but just two scores.
The Lions’ problems this season have stemmed from a defense that has been unable to get stops and is currently last in the NFL in total defense (421.3 yards per game) and scoring defense (32.1 points per game).
On the other hand, the Jared Goff-led offense has been a pleasant surprise for Detroit. The Lions are top five in the NFL in scoring offense and Goff has thrown for 1,904 yards and 12 touchdowns. Those are both top-10 marks and he’s 13th in the league with a 55.1 QBR.
Goff will be without his favorite target T.J. Hockenson, who the Lions surprisingly traded to the Vikings hours before the trade deadline. Hockenson led the team in targets (43), yards (395), and touchdowns (3).

The Lions just don’t have a defense that is capable of stopping the Packers’ offense, even though it hasn’t been a normal Aaron Rodgers-led offense this season.
The Lions are the worst defense in football and this is an opportune “get right" game for the Packers offense. The Lions should be able to put up plenty of points of their own in this high-scoring NFC North battle.
