Spread to bet now
Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions (+3)
Has someone kidnapped the Packers and if so, will you return them in time for the December playoff run? Four losses in five games, with only a bizarre Week 11 out-of-body-experience victory over the Vikings in Minnesota spliced in, have the Packers scratching their heads and trying to figure out exactly who they are. Which is never a good place to be when the winds of December start to howl in the NFC North.
Doubts start to creep in when you do crazy things like lose to the Bears at home. Is Aaron Rodgers OK? If you think so, you have to believe that Green Bay can put a stop to this. It’s not possible that the Packers could lose back-to-back division games to the Bears and Lions. Is it? Fans don’t think so, because early money melted an opening 5.5-point line down to three almost immediately.
