At the onset of the season was a predicted changing of the guard in the NFC North. The Green Bay Packers have owned the NFC North for most of the past three decades. But with the loss of future Hall of Fame QB Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets, the door was said to be open for a new team. And the Detroit Lions were sold as the club that could fill the void. The two teams clash on Thursday Night Football. Both teams are coming off important home wins.

Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers (+2, OU 44.5) 8:15 pm, AMAZON PRIME

On Thursday, September 28, 2023, the Green Bay Packers of the NFC North will host the Detroit Lions of the NFC North at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, WI. Kickoff time is 8:15 p.m. ET, with television coverage on AMAZON PRIME.

Last game, the Detroit Lions won 20-6 against the Atlanta Falcons as 3-point home favorites. The game went under the total of 47.5. Detroit has a record of 2-1 straight up, 2-1 against the spread, and 1-2 over/under the total. Detroit ranks 8^th for total offense, 7^th for passing, 11^th for rushing and 14^th for scoring. Defensively, they rank 11^th overall, 19^th against the pass, 6^th against the rush, and 13^th for points allowed. Also, Detroit ranks 22^nd for fewest turnovers lost and 22^nd for takeaways.

Jared Goff’s tiebreaking 45-yard touchdown pass to LaPorta early in the second quarter sent Detroit to a 20-6 victory over Atlanta Falcons on Sunday in a rebound performance for the Lions.

The former Iowa star, drafted No. 34 overall, was the first NFL tight end to catch five passes in his first two games. He surpassed that production with eight receptions for 84 yards and his first score against the Falcons.

LaPorta has 18 catches, the most by an NFL tight end through three games. The previous record was 17 receptions for Keith Jackson in 1988 for Philadelphia at the start of his three-time All-Pro career.

Goff was 22 of 33 for 243 yards with a touchdown and an interception. He also had a 3-yard designed run for a score that fooled the Falcons on third down, giving Detroit a 20-3 lead early in the fourth quarter.

Last game, the Green Bay Packers won 18-17 against the New Orleans Saints as 1-point home dogs. The game went under the total of 41.5. Green Bay has a record of 2-1 straight up, 3-0 against the spread, and 2-1 over/under the total. Green Bay ranks 23^rd for total offense, 19^th for passing, 26^th for rushing and 8^th for scoring. Defensively, they rank 15^th overall, 11^th against the pass, 28^th against the rush, and 12^th for points allowed. Also, Green Bay ranks 5^th for fewest turnovers lost and 19^th for takeaways.

Jordan Love celebrated his first career start at Lambeau Field by producing the type of comeback his four-time MVP predecessor orchestrated so often. Love rallied Green Bay from a 17-point fourth-quarter deficit after New Orleans lost quarterback Derek Carr to a shoulder injury, and the Packers stunned New Orleans. Love went 22 of 44 for 259 yards with one touchdown pass, a TD run, and an interception.

This was Love’s fourth start overall and first at home. The 2020 first-round pick spent the last three seasons backing up Aaron Rodgers, who’s now with the New York Jets and is out for the season with a torn Achilles tendon.

The Packers scored 18 points in the final 11 minutes to win their 11th consecutive home opener, the NFL’s longest active streak. They took the lead on Love’s 8-yard pass to Romeo Doubs in the right corner of the end zone with 2:56 left. Green Bay became the third team in the past 30 years to win after being shut out 17-0 or worse through three quarters.
