Most of the so called experts are picking the Lions to win at Lambeau this weekend saying the 
Packers can’t beat their defense!
The Packers have had troubles with tough defenses throughout the season when they are on the road, but at home they seem to play a lot better for whatever reason. With this game being at Lambeau, I believe the Packers once again make a statement with a decisive win over Detroit to win their 4th NFC North title in as many years.
While the Packers stalled on offense in their first meeting I think they are a much better team this time around, Bulaga was coming off an injury to play in his first game back and Linsley was still trying to gel with the O line in his third career start as a pro, Now this line has got 13 more games under their belts and have come together as a unit to play stellar ball. Suh had his way with the rookie but in my opinion this time around Linsley will surprise him with not only his power but his all around form and the smarts he has acquired since they last met. The line has also started run blocking better these last 4 or 5 games to open lanes for Lacy to run through. Speaking of which, Lacy has seemed to have gotten his North/South form back instead of dancing at the point of attack, He is hitting the holes with power and if they are not there his vision to find the cut back lanes seems to be coming naturally to him again, This is all coming at just the right time to make a run for the Superbowl.
Detroit has not been able to put points up against even mediocre teams winning most of their games by 3 points in dramatic finishes! I do not see this happening with the way the Packs defense is playing lately. They have stopped way better offenses than the Lions and will prove this game that they are the real deal, House was a big factor at containing Johnson the last game so we can only cross our fingers and pray he is able to go this game as well but if not Williams has been playing very well and he can get it done also!
Reggie Bush will be back for this one as well so Capers will need to dial up those run stopping plays to keep him under the 100 yard mark, If the defense can do that and keep Johnson from making the big plays it will be a long day for Stafford because as of late the Packs pass rush has found its identity and is getting pressure on whoever they play. I know some are saying since Raiola is suspended this game their O line could be a little weaker but watch out for the rookie Swanson, He is 6-5 317 lbs and played in the SEC for four years so he will be no push over. for instance look at how Linsley stepped in as a rookie and played! But if Daniels plays like a beast it could be trouble for the rookie 
But with all this said I believe the so called experts are wrong and so are most that think this will be a close game. I believe the Packers come into this game with not only a chip on their shoulders from losing to the Lions early in the season but they will have a boulder to drop on them right from the start. Rodgers will tear up their secondary with Nelson/Cobb and Adams all having good games and then Lacy will put the final touches on them with some power running to seal the deal.
So I predict a Packer win by a landslide of 31-17

Jeff I think your right. But not as big, my prediction is 28-14 or 38-24. The lions are a tough team but I believe my pack are tougher and want it more. Oh yea watch for peppers to have a Hugh game along with Matthews and our secondary. Go pack go
I love everything you said and it’s all true and I think the game will be another Packers victory at home and clinch the NFC north!
Until the Lions win at Green Bay, which hasn’t happened since 1991, I’ll take the Pack every time. Even if Detroit wins one in Titletown, I’ll still go with the Green & Gold.
I still think it will be a close one, all depends if the real Packers show and play two sterling halves of football
That said
GO PACKERS make it 5 in a row!!!!!
So glad the “experts” are picking the Lions. Packers always do better when they aren’t picked to win. Love my Packers.
Well Dani that might be bad then because the commentators are now picking Green bay to win and its like 3 out of 5 sports writers as well so since I put this post in to be reviewed things have changed in their opinions lol…But mine has not I still say the Pack wins this walking away!
The so called experts have many times been wrong when picking a team to win.. I have seen BIG upsets on some of this games. With that said, it is not going to an easy game for the Packers even at home. The Lions are hungry, I hope the Packers are more hungry then the Lions.. And truthfully I am nerves, of course I want my Packers to WIN, so GO PACK GO!!!
Jeff is wrong again. All 9 of the CBS experts, and all 13 of the ESPN experts are picking the Packers.
I think you are right!!!! The packers are gunna win but it will be a closer game! Cant wait to see
Cant wait for the game on sunday! I would really love a blowout game to prove to everyone packers are and always will be nfc north champs!and with that being said boost confidence and moral off the roof with that 1st round bye and home field advantage and then hit the superbowl!
Agree with some of your comments on the line, but I think the biggest factor will be how well our receivers can run their routes with the disruption from the Lions secondary, and whether the officiating crew will call the interference and contact events that stifled our receivers last time we played them. Given the way both teams have progressed through the season, the Pack has an excellent opportunity to set the tone for the playoffs with a win on Sunday.
I hope so. Alot of people are counting the lions out, but I say we can’t. This means so so much to them to beat the Packers at home for the NFC title. We need to show up and be prepared won’t be a easy game, but we will prevail.
My husband Larry has been a Packer fan since the 50s & is now a stockholder too. Lam beau seems to bring out the best in our team so we feel they have the advantage. We will go with you Jeff and predict a 28-17 win. Go Pack go!
Me too My Dad and I have been packer fans since the days of Vince Lombardi and I agree with 28 to 14
Greenbay Packers win 38 to 14… 21 points will be earned in the first quarter.
I don’t know what experts are picking the Lions, but from every site have been reading, they have Picked the Packers. All 9 of the “experts” on CBS Sports are picking the Packers, and all 13 of the “experts” on ESPN are picking the Packers. Thanks for another misleading story Jeff!
Another? If you read the comment I left I did say I should have said they are saying not picking that was my fault but at any rate I never try to mislead anyone I just give my opinion you can either agree with it or not!
All the years Brett Farve for Green Bay he never lost at home to the lions ,I hope Aaron Rogers keeps the streak alive ! I don’t care even if they win by one point !
who cares if it is by 1 pt or 20 pts. Just win baby. GO PACK GO!!!!!!!
What nobody is talking about is Detroits offence. They played like crap these past few weeks. They barely got by the Vikings at home a few weeks ago and against the Bears with their horrible defense, they were only able to put up 14 points until almost the end of the game!!
I think our defense is licking it’s chops!!!!!
Lombardis do not lose at lambeau!!!!!! Go Lions!!!!!!
Ed why are you on a Packer site trolling? Do you deep down want to admit you love the Packers because your Lions are losers?
Its okay to come out and admit it bud we all know the Packers are the kings of the NFC North
