Green Bay Packers vs Detroit Lions Betting Lines

Team	Spread	Moneyline	Total
Detroit Lions	-1.5 (-110)	-125	O45.0 (-110)
Green Bay Packers	+1.5 (-110)	+105	U45.0 (-110)

Most of the previous betting trends hold minimal relevance with Aaron Rodgers no longer the Packers’ starting quarterback after 15 years. Jordan Love and the Packers have crushed legal NFL betting sites with a 3-0 record against the spread to start the season, including 1-0 at home.

The over is 2-1 in Packers games and 1-2 in Lions games this season. But, 59% of Lions games in 2022 went over, which was the third-highest over percentage in the NFL last season.

Health of Key Players On Both Teams Trending Positively

Receiver Christian Watson told Packers reporters on Tuesday he plans on playing on Thursday night. Coach Matt Lafleur didn’t confirm but Watson is optimistic with his chances of playing.

Aaron Jones is also expected to play against the Lions after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 1. The likely return of two playmakers could influence Wisconsin sports betting sites to favor the Packers in Green Bay.

#Lions coach Dan Campbell said he’s “starting to feel pretty good about” RB David Montgomery (thigh) and LT Taylor Decker (ankle) returning to play Thursday night against the #Packers.
