Detroit Lions – Green Bay Packers: Thanksgiving NFL at Ford Field

The Detroit Lions host the Green Bay Packers this Thursday in the first game of Thanksgiving’s tripleheader. The Lions need to prove they’re tough at Ford Field and keep themselves in the playoff hunt.

Detroit Lions: solid at home

Detroit sit at a respectable 7 wins and 4 losses. The Lions have won 4 of their 5 home games this season. In their last outing they beat the New York Giants 34-27 in overtime. Jahmyr Gibbs scored a 69-yard touchdown on the first play of OT.

Jared Goff threw for 279 yards, 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. Amon-Ra St. Brown caught 9 passes for 145 yards and a touchdown. Gibbs finished with 219 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns. The defense was active, with Aidan Hutchinson and Thomas Harper producing sacks and interceptions.

Green Bay Packers: a defense to watch

Green Bay sit at 7 wins and 3 losses. The Packers boast the league’s fourth-best defense, allowing just 18.4 points per game on average. In their last win, 23-6 over the Vikings, they forced three turnovers and notched five sacks.

Emanuel Wilson scored two touchdowns and rushed for 107 yards. Christian Watson had 5 catches for 49 yards. Jordan Love completed 14 of 21 for 139 yards, with no touchdowns or interceptions. Devonte Wyatt and Micah Parsons each recorded 2 sacks.

What to take away

• Detroit’s lethal at home — 4 wins in 5.

• Packers’ defense is among the NFL’s best.
• Injuries for Green Bay could sway the game, but the team remains solid.

NFL prediction Detroit Lions vs Green Bay Packers

Green Bay Packers to win

The Packers should exploit the Lions’ defensive holes and use their road experience. Detroit gave up over 500 yards to the Giants and could be vulnerable again against a well-organised Green Bay unit.

First up: a note on our predictions

• What we publish on Mathodds is analysis, nothing more. We offer an opinion, a snapshot of the moment, never a guarantee. Sport’s unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak play… and the script flips.
• Let’s be clear: there’s no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when it looks “obvious”, it rarely is. Yes, you’ll lose sometimes. It’s inevitable.
• Be sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch the money you need to live on. And don’t chase losses — it almost never ends well.
• Betting should stay a game, not a job or a source of income. If it takes over your life, makes you anxious or stressed, take a break. If needed, speak to a specialist organisation. That’s what they’re there for.
• In the end, the responsibility’s yours. Reading our content means you accept that risk exists and it won’t disappear, not even with the best analysis.
• Essential reminder: betting is prohibited for minors and must comply with your country’s law. Gambling can spiral (money losses, family tensions, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.

No commitment from us

Our picks don’t constitute a contract. They carry no legal weight. Plain: you can’t rely on them to claim anything if a bet fails.

Info that changes

A prediction is based on what we know when we write it. Between then and kick-off, a team sheet (like the Packers’) can change, a player gets injured, the weather turns… and the analysis can become outdated fast. We can’t be held responsible for that.

Your role

Before betting, check that gambling’s legal where you are. If it’s not, that’s on you, not us.

Responsible gambling above all

We can’t say it enough: gamble responsibly. If you’re struggling to keep control, don’t wait to get help. We’re not responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the site’s information.
