Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions
Sunday, December 31, 2017 1:00 PM
Play: Total: 43.0/-104 Over
Quick quiz time. Name the NFL quarterback who has thrown seven touchdowns with no interceptions during his last three road games? You might be surprised to know that quarterback is Brett Hundley. He's played far better on the road than at Lambeau Field.
I envision the Packers and Lions, with Matthew Stafford having a big season, concluding their disappointing seasons with a shootout. It's a fast track inside a dome. Both teams are below average defensively with neither being able to pressure the quarterback very well.
Green Bay's secondary is just about decimated. Clay Matthews and and Nick Perry have nearly half of the Packers' sacks. Perry is out and Matthews is questionable. Stafford should have no problem burning the Packers with Marvin Jones, Golden Tate and tight end Eric Ebron, who has come on to catch 20 passes and score two touchdowns during his last three games.
Jim Caldwell will be trying to save his job. He won't be looking at youngsters. The Lions can't run so Stafford will be passing all day.
The Packers should be able to produce their share of points against a Detroit defense that ranks 25th in scoring defense and 27th in yards allowed.
Washed-up Jordy Nelson has been the Packers' worst receiver. He's injured and won't play. Hundley will be passing a lot to youngsters Geronimo Allison, Michael Clark and Trevor Davis. He's familiar with these guys from practice and preseason. Allison and Clark have a lot of potential.
This translates to a loose, no-holds, bombs-away type of game.
