Packers +3.5 (-115) at Caesars Sportsbook

Things got out of hand quickly when the Packers hosted the Lions earlier this season. However, that game featured an injured Jordan Love. The quarterback was dealing with an MCL injury that caused him to struggle with accuracy. Love got better as the game progressed, but the damage had already been done.

The Packers offense is playing far better as Love’s injury appears to be under control. That will be a problem for a Lions defense with 12 players on the IR and four currently listed as questionable.

Before you place this bet, it is worth keeping tabs on Jaire Alexander. The standout cornerback has been out with a PCL injury, but he has been back at practice with the hope of playing on Sunday. This Green Bay secondary is a different beast when Alexander is out there, so we recommend checking his status before wagering on this game.

Josh Jacobs Anytime TD (-135) at Caesars Sportsbook

The Packers' recent hot streak can be largely attributed to running back Josh Jacobs. The 26-year-old has been unstoppable over the previous six weeks, averaging 4.6 YPC on the ground. He has also been dangerous through the air, posting 74 yards last week alone.

The Lions are hard to run on, but injuries are taking their toll. Jacobs’ physical running style wears opponents down, especially when short on depth. 

Jacobs has also been the Packers' top red zone weapon over the last three weeks, scoring five touchdowns. Expect him to add at least one more to that total on Thursday night.

Amon-Ra St. Brown (+100) at Caesars Sportsbook

Amon-Ra St. Brown hasn’t scored in two straight games but scored at least one touchdown in the eight consecutive games before that. Even if Alexander can suit up, we expect Brown to find the end zone at least once on Thursday Night Football.

Green Bay’s pass defense hasn’t been great in coverage or pressuring the quarterback this season. They have been able to make up for it by generating turnovers, but that hasn’t prevented opposing receivers from finding the red zone. St. Brown has done well against the Pack in the past, a trend that we expect to continue.
