Lions vs. Packers Odds
Wisconsin will be the home of a Week 4 battle in the NFC North as the Green Bay Packers host the Detroit Lions at 1:00PM ET. Let’s preview this matchup and look at the latest odds.
Game Preview:
Oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com have made the Packers a 14-point favorite over the Lions in Week 4. The over/under total for this game has been set at 46 points.
The Packers lost in embarrassing fashion Monday night in Chicago after committing 18 penalties and racking up over 150 penalty yards. Aaron Rodgers and company will look to get back on the right track against a Lions team that has somewhat competitive in each of their first three games despite losing starting quarterback Matthew Stafford to a shoulder injury in Week 1.
The Lions are 0-3 but have covered in two of those three games. They’re coming off a 24-10 loss to the Vikings, but they were a threat to cover in that game deep into the fourth quarter as Minnesota couldn’t put them away.
Below is a preview of Sunday’s game.
Line Movement & Updated Odds:
The Packers opened as 14-point favorites and while the line rose to 14.5 at one point, it’s back down to 14. The over/under has been all over the board, from as high as 47 to as low as 45.5. Now it’s at 46, but it may move again as we get close to kickoff.
