The Green Bay Packers are coming off a 43-34 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. They are a six-point home favorite this weekend against the Detroit Lions, who fell to the Chicago Bears by the score of 27-23. Always a great match up, the Packers won both games between the teams last season by tight margins of 23-22 and 23-20.
Aaron Rodgers and the Packers’ offense got off to a blistering start in week one. Rodgers threw for 364 yards and four touchdowns, completing a gaudy 72.7 percent of his passes. The attack was well-balanced as Aaron Jones led the team with 66 of their 159 yards on the ground.
