| Recommended Bets | FanDuel | BetMGM |
|---|---|---|
| Jared Goff 225+ Passing Yards | -180 | -180 |
| Josh Jacobs Anytime TD Scorer | -120 | -130 |
| Total Points Under 48.5 | -118 | -118 |
Jared Goff has been in consistent passing form this season, with 8 games over 225 passing yards. In fact, he has thrown for over 225 yards in his last 5 games, leading up to today’s game against the Packers. Green Bay’s stellar pass defense could pose a problem, which is why 225 passing yards seems to be a good bet.
Josh Jacobs missed out on the last game due to a knee injury, but he has been cleared to play today. Jacobs has been in great scoring form this season and has a total of 11 rushing touchdowns from 10 games. Moreover, he has found the endzone in 8 of his 10 games, making him a potential threat to score every time he takes the field.
Taking the under 48.5 total points seems to be the favorable option, considering both sides have been excellent on defense. While the Lions’ offense averages nearly 30 points a game, and the Packers around 24 points, the defenses are allowing just about 22 and 18.4 points per game.
This Thanksgiving Day game between the Lions and the Packers is a tough one to call. Both teams have had their ups and downs this season. These two teams met in Week 1, where Green Bay earned a comfortable win, but much has changed since then.
If Detroit finds its offensive rhythm, then Green Bay could be in for trouble, especially since the Packers’ offense has struggled to put up points at various times this season. It’s a crucial game in terms of the divisional standings as well, but Detroit has the home-field advantage and revenge for Week 1 on their minds.
Prediction: Detroit Lions to win.
