Lions sweep the Packers.
Detroit will narrowly beat the Packers on Thanksgiving, but they will get a convincing road win in the last game of the regular season.

Detroit will narrowly beat the Packers on Thanksgiving, but they will get a convincing road win in the last game of the regular season.

If they beat the Packers at Lambeau Field it'll be cuz the Packers have home field clinched already.

VR may actually be right about something.

I do think we lose our first and only game coming up.

We could possibly be swept for the reason Zero mentioned.
Lions already have 3 losses.
If we go 14-1 into this game and assuming the Niners are 12-3 or worse, we'll play our starters for a half and that's it.
Lions could come back and win at Lambeau in the 2nd half against our reserves.

What's at stake?

A Lions win means:
The Lions can either be 2 games back of the Packers with 5 games to go plus another shot at the Packers.


Maintain top Wild Card team position.

A Lions loss means:
The Lions can be 4 games back of the Packers with 5 games remaining.

Drop into a fight for the #6 seed (The Bears move up this week if they and the Lions lose, Falcons have head to head tiebreaker)

The stakes are high for the Lions.

For the Packers?

With a win they can essentially lock up winning their division and extend lead for #1 playoff position by having 2 more conference wins than the 49'ers.

or

If they lose they are still #1 in the conference with tiebreaker over the 49'ers and the media talk of an undefeated season is over.



I expect a high scoring game.
Something like 45-38.
The Packers defense leads the NFL in interceptions.
A key INT will be the difference in the game.

I believe the last time the Packers were 10 - 0 was in 1962, they had one loss that year. It came on Thanksgiving Day against the Detroit Lions at Tiger Stadium and was the Packers only loss in their championship season. I've read this a few times, but I may have some minor details missing.

The detail you are missing is that that season was 1962.

I've expected Thursday's game to be a loss for us even before the season started. I've seen nothing that would make me change my way of thinking.

Dammit, those were my first words too... ugh.

If you didn't post a season game by game prediction, keep your predictions to yourself sissy! :P
