High Scoring Projection Has Value Betting The Packers, Lions

• The Green Bay Packers host the Detroit Lions in an NFC North divisional matchup set at 48 points.
• Past results for the Lions in similar games give them expectations to beat their team total (25.5 points).
• Parlaying a winner with both teams scoring 20 points is an excellent way to add live betting value and higher payouts.

GREEN BAY, Wisc. – The Detroit Lions are back on the road to face the Green Bay Packers, this time as a slim favorite of 3.5 points. With Jared Goff under center, the Lions have excelled in similar spots, holding a strong record of 7-2 straight up and against the spread as road favorites of under five points.

The over has hit six of these nine games, with Detroit scoring 20+ points in eight games and 30+ in five, making this matchup ripe for high-scoring action.

When these two teams last met in Green Bay on September 28, 2023, the Lions were 2.5-point favorites and delivered on that margin, winning 34-20.

David Montgomery powered through the Packers’ defense with 32 carries for 121 yards and three touchdowns. While Jordan Love logged 246 passing yards with two total touchdowns but threw two interceptions. Without much of a ground game, Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon combined for just 29 yards on 10 carries.

Lions Packers Betting Lines and Totals

This week, oddsmakers have set the game total at 48 points, with public sentiment favoring the over. For those looking to juice their bets, Bovada offers alternate lines, allowing you to wager on the game hitting 50 points at +110 odds.

However, it’s worth noting that the combined team totals only come to 47 points (25.5 for the Lions and 21.5 for the Packers).

If you’re confident in both teams putting up points, a particularly enticing wager is betting on each team to score 19 or more points, with “Yes” at -130 and “No” at EVEN odds. Given both offenses’ potential to reach or surpass these numbers, this bet carries solid value for those expecting a high-scoring game.

Enhance it even where both teams score 20 or more points with a victory. Those backing a high-scoring game can find an alternative to the standard moneyline bet. Instead of Lions -170 or Packers +145, consider these legal sports betting wagers.

• Lions to Win + Both Teams Score 20+ +210
• Packers to Win + Both Teams Score 20+ +320

This approach offers considerably higher returns than the traditional moneyline, especially given that both teams’ projected scores are above the 20-point threshold.

Also, you can take a look at parlaying a Lions win with a touchdown from one of their players.

Player	Odds To Score & Lions Win	Touchdowns This Season
David Montgomery	+122	7
Jahmyr Gibbs	+134	7
Amon-Ra St. Brown	+156	5
Sam LaPorta	+252	2
