Green Bay Packers vs Detroit Lions

Aaron Rodgers needs his receivers to step up and start catching passes. The game will be played at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan. Green Bay’s defense isn’t elite, but it’s good enough not to ruin your fantasy matchup this week. Both teams have been showing signs of strong defense, so expect another low-scoring game like the 18-16 Lions win in Lambeau just three weeks ago.
“We ran the ball 24 times with Eddie and James (Starks), and they combined to average around 6 yards per carry”, Lang said. Last week, against the Philadelphia Eagles, Johnson erupted for 93 yards and three touchdowns in a 45-14 victory.
Facing a Detroit Lions team who looks to be on fire right now, the Packers will travel to Detroit tonight where they haven’t won since 2012. Finding themselves behind the Minnesota Vikings by a game in the division race after that stunner, the Packers responded with a 30-13 road win but half the points came from Crosby, not Aaron Rodgers and his weapons.
These are literally two teams going in opposite directions. The Detroit offensive line should be ready for a tough test this week as the Packers get to opposing quarterbacks easily. Detroit stands only two games out of a NFC wild-card berth with five games to play.
“This game is an emotional game, it’s an emotional roller coaster”, Caldwell says.
In the end, I’m not convinced the Packers can solve all of their offensive issues in one night. Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson hook up for 2 TDs while Eddy Lacy rushes for 2 TDs while the Green Bay passing game continues to struggle.
Detroit took a three-game winning streak into its prime-time game against the Packers in large part because Stafford is making plays with his arm, occasionally with his feet, and is avoiding mistakes. Something is wrong with the offense.

“Make no bones about it, if you don’t hold on to the football, if you turn the football over, your opportunities are going to decrease or go away”, Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy said on Monday. Detroit DE Ezekiel Ansah has 9 ½ sacks in eight games and career-high 11 ½ this year, trailing only Houston’s J.J. Watt…. Laying a field goal on the road is not a good way to win bets like these, but the Packers are desperate and expect Rodgers to have a big game indoors. The receiver has been banged up for most of the season as this is not the first time he enters a game on the injury report, but Johnson has powered through each week and will need to do so again after he and Matthew Stafford showed plenty of positive momentum last week. Lacy has looked like a beast, so maybe it’s time for the Packers to unleash Lacy on opposing defenses. They don’t run a whole lot, but they have variations within the scheme that give you problems in terms of run fits, and he’s a hard guy to tackle.
