The Detroit Lions (6-1) are back on the road in Week 9 traveling to Wisconsin to take on the Green Bay Packers (6-2) for the Lions' second divisional road game of the season. Currently, the Lions sit atop the NFC North, while the Packers hold a half-game lead over the Vikings (5-2), despite losing to Minnesota in Week 4.
With the lead in the NFC North on the line, the good folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook have set the opening betting line at Lions -4.5 points.
What’s interesting about this betting line is, that before Week 8’s games were played the line had the Lions getting a point-and-a-half, but following the outcomes, there’s been a six-point swing in Detroit’s favor.
