Lions sweep the Packers.
Detroit will narrowly beat the Packers on Thanksgiving, but they will get a convincing road win in the last game of the regular season.

VR may actually be right about something.

I do think we lose our first and only game coming up.

We could possibly be swept for the reason Zero mentioned. Lions already have 3 losses. If we go 14-1 into this game and assuming the Niners are 12-3 or worse, we'll play our starters for a half and that's it. Lions could come back and win at Lambeau in the 2nd half against our reserves.

What's at stake?

A Lions win means:
The Lions can either be 2 games back of the Packers with 5 games to go plus another shot at the Packers.

Maintain top Wild Card team position.

A Lions loss means:
The Lions can be 4 games back of the Packers with 5 games remaining.

Drop into a fight for the #6 seed (The Bears move up this week if they and the Lions lose, Falcons have head to head tiebreaker)

The stakes are high for the Lions.

For the Packers?
With a win they can essentially lock up winning their division and extend lead for #1 playoff position by having 2 more conference wins than the 49'ers.

or

If they lose they are still #1 in the conference with tiebreaker over the 49'ers and the media talk of an undefeated season is over.

I expect a high scoring game. Something like 45-38.
The Packers defense leads the NFL in interceptions. A key INT will be the difference in the game.

I believe the last time the Packers were 10 - 0 was in 1962, they had one loss that year. It came on Thanksgiving Day against the Detroit Lions at Tiger Stadium and was the Packers only loss in their championship season. I've read this a few times, but I may have some minor details missing.

The detail you are missing is that that season was 1962.

I've expected Thursday's game to be a loss for us even before the season started. I've seen nothing that would make me change my way of thinking.

I didn't post a season prediction, but I thought that the Tampa game was our biggest chance to lose.

It had all the makings of a perfect trap game.

Tampa has beaten us a few times lately
We are are in the middle of an 11 day 3 game stretch
It is bookended by the Vikings and Lions games
Tampa has been struggling lately but was good enough to beat the Saints once this year
We just came off an emotional and sound beating of Minnesota

I think next week the O goes back to being an unstoppable machine and the D continues to build on the success of last week.

The Lions are over rated. They are beating teams they should beat, but still losing to good teams.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

Just a history note. The Packers playing the Lions on Thanksgiving was a tradition started in the 50's.

After 1962, Lombardi said forget it. A short week with the Lions always at home gave the Lions a competitive edge. Lombardi ended the tradition.

History of Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers Thanksgiving Day football games

The Detroit Lions have played football on Thanksgiving Day in Detroit every year since 1934, with the exception of the war years of 1939-44. The team they have played the most on Thanksgiving Day is the Green Bay Packers. The Lions and Packers have met 19 times on Thanksgiving, including 13 straight years from 1951 through 1963. The Lions lead the series with a record of 11-7-1. Here is a brief history of the Detroit Lions-Green Bay Packers Thanksgiving Day football rivalry.....

One of the more famous, or for Packers' fans infamous, Thanksgiving Day games was the 1962 game. The Packers were the defending NFL champs and came into the game undefeated with a 10-0 record. In a dominating performance on defense, the Lions sacked Packers quarterback Bart Starr 11 times, including once in the end zone for a safety. Detroit won 26-14

If it's close, if the Packers let the Lions hang around or come back to be close in the fourth quarter, then there's a better than even chance this is going to be loss #1.

But the closer Thursday gets, the less I think this is going to be close.

I don't think Rodgers is going to have inaccuracy problems two weeks in a row. I think the D is going to come out with serious attitude. And I think Stafford, his head coach, and the Detroit defense are all overrated.

As long as the Packers avoid the cursed Hochuli and Triplette crews, and the assumed 2-3 cheap/chippy shots by the Lions don't knock Rodgers out, I think this game over before the fourth quarter.

41-9.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

I believe we will get far enough ahead in the first half that the Packers will begin to coast.The Lions will mount a comeback in the third and we will hold on and win by 7.

The last 5 games against Detroit on Thanksgiving, I think we are something like 4-1.

Steve Young said something interesting. Everyone has kind of been on the Lions have arrived bus lately and maybe the Packers go into the game wanting to say ... hey you've made a step forward but you're still not "here" and when better to show the world that the Packers are still the best team in the division by beating the Lions on Thanksgiving with everyone watching.
