The Green Bay Packers have always been the top rival for Detroit Lions fans. For decades, they were the model of the NFC North/Central, and the Lions always seemed to be one, two, or three steps behind. Playing in Lambeau was a death sentence for Lions teams of the past.
In 2024, the shoe is very much on the other foot. The Lions have displayed solid, consistent play for nearly 2.5 seasons now, and they head to Green Bay this week as road favorites. What’s even more incredible is they’re favorites over a Packers team that most consider top-10 in the league.
