Using Zero rankings, Lions are 23rd and Packers are 13th overall through 15 games.

Same rankings over last four games.
Lions are 28th overall, 20th in offense and 28th in defense.
Packers are 3rd overall, 1st in offense and 16th in defense.

Aaron Rodgers has played the Lions in Detroit six times and is 5 wins and 1 loss over those six games.

Lions have lost their last two games by 11 and 21 points.
Packers have won their last two games by 3 and 12 points.



All said and done ...

Lions 32
Packers 15

Lions get revenge on the Hail Mary game by winning the division in the same building.

This game isn't gonna be a piece of cake like the Vikings and Bears. Detroit plays tough at home. Stafford has stepped up since losing Megatron.

These guys can play. They deserve to be where we are.

Expecting a high scoring game and a lot of nervous energy from myself.

What happens when two irresisitible forces meet very movable objects?

It seems we are headed for a 45-42 game or something like that. For some reason our games against the Lions tend to finish 9-3 or 10-3 in the last years, maybe both teams know each other too well...

So between history and present I think I settle for a normal(ish) score like 23-17 or so....

I think that if we play very aggressive football Rodgers is less prone to mistakes than Stafford, so we can win this thing. If we play conservative football the Lions are experts in comebacks and we can have a nasty 4th quarter surprise. We have to keep going for everything even if ahead by 2TDs, the Lions always attempt some sort of comeback.

I know MM will get the gameplan all wrong and I know our secondary is a disaster, if the offense is hot then I predict we will be ahead, play conservative and the Lions will win in the 4th quarter in some form of epic comeback. People will remember Rodgers had 30 seconds or so to win/tie the game and nobody will remember we just gave up attacking and went for our trademark soft zone defense in the 4th quarter....

I just hope if we come out with a huge lead like Chicago and Minny that we don't do that stupid prevent crap in the second half. If anything Matt Stafford has proved he can bring his team back and pull out a late win.

Edit: Hahaha Luis our minds went to the same place.

I just want a win.
Detroit played well in the first half last night, then got it handed to them.
My hope is, that they are feeling down and depressed over their showing, and that it carries over to Sunday night.
I hope.

You are right, it was 2010 the 7-3 year.

Sure does seem we have a lot of close games with the Lions though, doesn't it? Majority of the more recent games seem to be within a score or two.
