The Detroit Lions are seeking their first 7-1 start since the 1956 season. It won’t be easy to get there, though, as the Lions have a 6-2 Green Bay Packers team standing in front of them this weke. The Packers have won four games straight, although three of those games were tight contests won by a single score.
Detroit has had the advantage in this matchup as of late. The Lions have won four of the last five matchups against the Packers, but Green Bay decisively won the last game between the two teams—a 37-30 win on Thanksgiving.
