Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers (-3.5, 45.5)
Lions +3.5
Fortenbaugh: The Lions have had two weeks to prepare for this game and currently outrank the Packers in scoring, yards per play and third-down conversion percentage, to name a few key offensive categories. On the defensive side of the ball, both franchises are tied for 16th in opponent yards per play, but take note that Detroit held reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes to a pedestrian 57.1% completion rate with zero touchdown passes (third time in 23 career starts) in Week 4. The Lions have covered the number in each of their past four meetings with the Packers and are 3-0 ATS overall since their 27-27 overtime tie at Arizona in Week 1.
